About LHG

Aloha, and wel­come to the web­site of the Law­ful Hawai­ian Gov­ern­ment. Our gov­ern­ment, inspired by the exam­ple of our ances­tors, moti­vated by the cause of truth and jus­tice, is actively engaged in the process of reclaim­ing the right to be rec­og­nized as the law­ful gov­ern­ment of Hawai’i, thereby restor­ing the inher­ent human right of self-determination to the cit­i­zens of Hawai’i. This process of rein­stat­ing the for­mer inher­ent sov­er­eignty is in fact a move­ment of lib­er­a­tion from the most pow­er­ful nation in the his­tory of our planet. Despite the odds, we resolve to honor our ances­tors, to embrace our respon­si­bil­i­ties as kanaka maoli, as cit­i­zens of Hawai’i, as par­ents and guardians of our island nation. Our method is founded on fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­ples of non-violence, inter­na­tional law and the oblig­a­tion set forth in the United States Pub­lic Law 103 – 150.

Brief his­tory

Hawai’i was a rec­og­nized inde­pen­dent nation prior to Jan­u­ary 17, 1893. On that day, the nation and gov­ern­ment was ille­gally over­thrown by the United States. Since ille­gal gov­ern­ments have assumed con­trol over Hawaii under the direct guid­ance of the United States gov­ern­ment. But, on March 13, 1999 the kanaka maoli peo­ple (Hawai­ians) rein­stated a gov­ern­ment pro tem­pore and con­tinue to imple­ment steps in accor­dance to inter­na­tional law and the rein­stated laws of the Hawai­ian gov­ern­ment to reclaim their sov­er­eign inde­pen­dent status.

Kahoolawe

Recla­ma­tion of the Island of Kahoolawe: On July 31, 2006, the rein­stated Hawai­ian Gov­ern­ment autho­rized the recla­ma­tion of the lands that belong to the for­mer inher­ent sov­er­eignty —the Hawai­ian gov­ern­ment. This action was taken through the proper autho­riza­tion issued by the Rein­stated Hawai­ian Gov­ern­ment. The Rein­stated Hawai­ian Gov­ern­ment con­tin­ues to appear in the Maui Dis­trict Court, in Wailuku.

Kanaka Bill

The alter­na­tive to the “Akaka Bill”. The essence of the Kanaka Bill is to pave the way to grant all Kanaka Maoli the right to par­tic­i­pate in the upcom­ing 2007 elections.
