Native Hawaiian group occupies historic palace
Thursday, May 1, 2008
A group calling itself the
Hawaiian Kingdom Government
took over the historic palace of the Hawaiian royal family on Wednesday.
The group says it will use the
Iolani Palace
in Honolulu as the seat of the traditional Hawaiian government. The building was closed to visitors as protesters vowed to continue their occupation.
The move came as
attorney general Mark Bennett
filed a
petition of certiorari
with the
U.S. Supreme Court
to overturn a decision affecting Hawaiian lands. The state Supreme Court on January 31
blocked
the sale of any portion of 1.4 million acres pending resolution of claims by Native Hawaiians.
