I suppose that right and justice should determine the path to be followed in treating thissubject. If national honesty is to be disregarded and a desire for territorial expansion ordissatisfaction with a form of government not our own ought to regulate our conduct, Ihave entirely misapprehended the mission and character of our government and the

behavior which the conscience of the people demands of their public servants.

From Cleveland's message to Congress on the Hawaiian question, December 18, 1893

Geno-cide (Physical & Cultural)

Raphael LEMKIN (1900-1959)Co-authored United Nations 1951 Convention onThe Prevention and Punishment of the Crimeof Genocide in response to WWII Holocaust

His early drafts discussed cultural genocide,but opponents excluded the term in the final draft.

Genocide has two phases: one, destruction of the national pattern of theoppressed group; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of theoppressor.

Techniques include cultural (primarily language, requirement of licenses for

persons engaged in arts, media, architecture, etc.) in addition to physical.


14/46

Ethnocide (Cultural Genocide)

Robert JAULIN (1928-1996)Authored White Peace: Introduction to Ethnocide

Ifgenocide designs the physical extermination of

a people, an ethnocide refers to the exterminationof a culture, also noting that it is not the meansbut the ends that define ethnocide.

Whereas genocide assassinated the people in theirbody, the ethnocidekills them in theirspirit through acculturation.

The totalitarian machine operates bysplitting the universe into its ownagents on the one side, and its objects on the other, whether theybe

individuals, families, groups, societies orwhole civilizations.

Hawaii Title 21 Language Access Code

Limited English Proficiency (LEP) taxpayers shall not be prevented fromreceiving federally-funded public services: primary focus on immigrants

All state and federally-funded public service (including non-profit) programsare provided to non-English speaking persons when lesser of either1,000 or

5% of a population in a service area speaks a language otherthan English

Hawaii Office of Language Access (OLA), a monitoring agency, providestranslation services in courts, medical clinics, law enforcement, non-profitagencies, even requires the Office of Hawaiian Affairs to provide Hawaiian

language services through their agencies

Danger to language revitalization community: If beneficiaries speak Englishand a non-English language such as Hawaiian, services may not be providedin the non-English language. We must change from mono- to bicultural

paradigm!

However as a coach, I observed among members of the Roosevelt High Schooloutrigger team, some paddlers had transferred out of Immersion Charter Schools.

Why? For fear of not getting into their preferred colleges for their chosen professions.Question: if Hawaii schools are learner-centered, then why arent we ensuring their

ability to pursue their chosen careers in the Hawaiian language?

Also, what is happening to the 2,000+ graduates from the Immersion Charter Schools?
