MAY 24, 2001 Native Hawaiian homelands are being threatened by a lawsuit which challenges the way the state administers Hawaiian affairs. It follows on the Rice v. Cayetano Supreme Court case which struck down a vote limited to Native Hawaiians. Subsequent lawsuits have changed other Native Hawaiian programs. Opponents say they are race-based. The Department of Justice has recommended Congress recognize a government-to-government relationship with Native Hawaiians but a bill to do that failed to clear the Senate last session. Senators Daniel Inouye (D) and Daniel Akaka (D), both of Hawaii, have reintroduced the bill this session. Get the Story:
