On the 125th Anniversary of the illegal overthrow of Queen Lili'uokalani, we honor and acknowledge her everlasting love for her people and the sacrifices she made in order to make Hawai'i a better place for all of her citizens. Native Hawaiians continue to struggle in their homeland and it is our collective kuleana to ensure that we meet the provisions and obligations enshrined in the Hawai'i State Constitution, to provide for the betterment of Native Hawaiians. As a member of the United States Congress, I stand onipa'a with those marching today in demanding that the leaders of our government address the continuing injustice faced by Lili'uokalani’s people since her overthrow 125 years ago today. I mua i na poki'i.
