Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS Agency)

1. OFFICIAL OHS PUBLIC STATEMENT**

**Issued by the Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS)**  
 **Date:** December 31, 2024  
 **Subject:** *Continuing Denationalization and Unlawful Occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom*

---

For 136 years and continuing, the Hawaiian Subjects have endured systemic denationalization and displacement within their own homeland. Following the unlawful overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893 by U.S.-backed insurgents, the Hawaiian Kingdom — a recognized sovereign state under international law — was never lawfully ceded, annexed, or extinguished. The insurgents’ formation of a “Provisional Government,” later styled as the Republic, Territory, and “State of Hawaiʻi,” represented nothing less than the ongoing illegal occupation of a neutral and independent state.

Through the investigative findings of **Dr. David Keanu Sai** and the **Royal Commission of Inquiry (2020)**, it is conclusively established that the Hawaiian Kingdom continues to exist under international law, while the United States remains an occupying power in violation of the:

**Hague Convention (1907)** and **Geneva Convention IV (1949)**.

Denationalization — the erasure of Hawaiian nationality and consciousness — began in the early 1900s through systemic indoctrination in public and private schools, including targeted institutions such as Kamehameha Schools. The intent was to replace Hawaiian national identity with U.S. citizenship, violating the inherent rights of a protected people.

Today, this unlawful occupation continues to exploit Hawaiian Subjects as economic commodities. The United States and its proxy, the so-called “State of Hawaiʻi,” profit from taxation, land dispossession, and the mass imprisonment of Hawaiian Subjects under foreign law. Nearly six thousand Hawaiian Subjects remain illegally confined under U.S. and State jurisdiction, contrary to the humanitarian protections owed to them as **Protected Persons** under international law.

The result of this prolonged occupation has been catastrophic — generations of broken families, homelessness, foster care placements, and the disintegration of Hawaiian literacy and cultural identity. In 1893, 78% of the Hawaiian population was literate; by the late 1900s, that number had fallen to approximately 15%, a direct consequence of forced assimilation and educational denationalization.

The **Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS)** hereby affirms that the Hawaiian Kingdom remains a living state, and that all Hawaiian Subjects are protected under Kingdom and international law. OHS stands as guardian, advocate, and lawful representative, working to restore national identity, protect the detained, and reestablish lawful governance under the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

**“We are not protestors — we are protectors under occupation. Our resistance is through law, documentation, and truth.”**
