초록

This paper attempts to elucidate the historical trajectory of native sovereignty movements in Hawai’ian archipelago and their socio-political struggle with Asian settler colonialism. Proponents of Hawai’ian native sovereignty have continuously demanded the “nation-to-nation” negotiation and the recognition of the U. S. federal government, while Asian settlers as “locals” in Hawai’i, now dominating the ethnic power structures of the State of Hawai’i since 1959, strenuously insist on the priority of multiculturalism in the society of immigrants. Politically allied with Democratic Party, Asian settlers are not willing to recognize the rights of indigenous people and their self-determination, let alone forming a coalition with natives. Sovereignty activists argue that this “liberal multi-cultural settler ideology” effectively supports what they call the structure of “settler colonialism” which relies on the unjustifiable identification of natives and settlers. Aptly described in Gary Pak’s novels, Asian settler colonialism in Hawai’i is a structural obstacle that hinders settlers’ coalition with natives by compelling them to forget the history of racial victimization of natives in Hawai’ian archipelago. After briefly revisiting the controversial issues of native sovereignty and settler colonialism in Hawai’i, I argue that archipelagic politics of coalition could really be dependent upon the settler’s recognition, not concession, of the legitimacy of indigenous sovereignty as a realistic strategy for mutual benefit. To be an American should not be the unilateral goal of all ethnic groups in the territories of the States.

Abstract

This paper attempts to elucidate the historical trajectory of native sovereignty movements in Hawai’ian archipelago and their socio-political struggle with Asian settler colonialism. Proponents of Hawai’ian native sovereignty have continuously demanded the “nation-to-nation” negotiation and the recognition of the U. S. federal government, while Asian settlers as “locals” in Hawai’i, now dominating the ethnic power structures of the State of Hawai’i since 1959, strenuously insist on the priority of multiculturalism in the society of immigrants. Politically allied with Democratic Party, Asian settlers are not willing to recognize the rights of indigenous people and their self-determination, let alone forming a coalition with natives. Sovereignty activists argue that this “liberal multi-cultural settler ideology” effectively supports what they call the structure of “settler colonialism” which relies on the unjustifiable identification of natives and settlers. Aptly described in Gary Pak’s novels, Asian settler colonialism in Hawai’i is a structural obstacle that hinders settlers’ coalition with natives by compelling them to forget the history of racial victimization of natives in Hawai’ian archipelago. After briefly revisiting the controversial issues of native sovereignty and settler colonialism in Hawai’i, I argue that archipelagic politics of coalition could really be dependent upon the settler’s recognition, not concession, of the legitimacy of indigenous sovereignty as a realistic strategy for mutual benefit. To be an American should not be the unilateral goal of all ethnic groups in the territories of the States.
