U.S. Army officials signed a covenant with Native Hawaiians Wednesay, which they hope will bring greater understanding, more dialogue, and better relations. A ceremony for the covenant signing was held on the lawn at Fort DeRussy in Waikiki. It's an attempt by the U. S. Army to mend fences with the Native Hawaiian community.
Many Native Hawaiians blame the Army for its role in the overthrow of their kingdom, and with modern issues like the live fire training at Makua Valley, the relationship between Native Hawaiians and the military has been contentious.

The relationship between Native Hawaiians and the military becomes increasingly hostile as the years progress. Enough already. It's time for us to learn to work on building bridges instead of blowing them up, said Hawaiian activist Annelle Amaral.

The covenant promises a mutually respectful attitude, more dialogue, and preservation of culturally sensitive areas.

We are creating a visitors center at the Makua military reservation which will provide a location to describe the history of the valley and the rare cultural artifacts, and plants located in that beautiful valley, said Maj. Gen. Michael Terry.

As Hawaiian and military leaders signed the covenant the Hawaiians at the ceremony made it clear they don't represent all Native Hawaiians. They did stress the importance of good relations with the Army.

To respect the importance of host culture needs and values, while also recognizing the contribution the military presence makes in assuring our security and freedom, said Neil Hannahs, a Native Hawaiian Advisory Council member.

  • I just wanted to add on that over 100 years ago the same thing has happened to the native americans and thier lands. The military put them on reservations, took their hunting grounds and killed the buffalo that k that provided meat and clothing for them.

  • Aloha, Pono! I grew up in Hawaii back in the 60's and it was beautiful back then. My mother went back several years ago and she said that it was congested with cars, the military was ruining things. The military should leave Hawaii and stay on the mainland. I think that nuclear weapons should be banned!

  • This palapala opala is meaningless and nothing new. This symbolic gesture has been repeated a few times in the past and is just as vacuous now as it was back then. I find it as useless as their words and actions, painted in pageantry, pomp and circumstance as a feel good charade. The U.S. WASP white supremacy doctrines of Manifest Destiny thrives strongly in its mainstream society. Like a good poison; it's undetectable and swift to hit its mark.
