The Big Island Blog posts updates from our website on what is happening in Hawaii made up of input from residents and visitors.
The Hawaiian Islands were illegally overthrown by a mock government, supported by U.S. Marines, in 1893. It took 5 years for the United States to approve a resolution that made Hawaii a part of the United States. In 1993, a hundred years later, the Senate and House of Representatives made public law 103-150, a official apology to the Hawaiian people. President Clinton signed this document, and made it official. The United States acknowledged that Hawaii was illegally overthrown So here we are. We welcome the world. Deep inside though we long to be free. The funny thing is most people think Hawaii wanted to be part of the U.S. Let the Blog of updates begin Feb 3, 2012 Big Island Events: Waiaka Events Salon presents....A VALENTINES GIFT FOR YOU AND YOURS ...
