Inside USA - The Other Hawaii

Documentary about the people behind the native movement for self-determination in Hawaii. Well over 200 years old the movement has recently been gaining on strength.
PACOM
The United States Pacific Command's area of jurisdiction covers over fifty percent of the world's surface area — approximately 105 million square miles (nearly 272 million square kilometers) — nearly sixty percent of the world's population, thirty-six countries, twenty territories, and ten territories and possessions of the United States.

After William McKinley won the presidential election in 1896, Hawaii's annexation to the U.S. was again discussed. The previous president, Grover Cleveland, was a friend of Queen Liliʻuokalani. McKinley was open to persuasion by U.S. expansionists and by annexationists from Hawaii. He met with three annexationists from Hawaii: Lorrin Thurston, Francis March Hatch and William Ansel Kinney. After negotiations, in June 1897, Secretary of State John Sherman agreed to a treaty of annexation with these representatives of the Republic of Hawaii.
The treaty was never ratified by the U.S. Senate. Instead, the Newlands Resolution by both houses of Congress annexed the Republic to the United States and it became the Territory of Hawaii. Despite some opposition in the islands, the Newlands Resolution was passed by the House June 15, 1898, by a vote of 209 to 91, and by the Senate on July 6, 1898, by a vote of 42 to 21.
In 1900, Hawaii was granted self-governance and retained ʻIolani Palace as the territorial capitol building. Despite several attempts to become a state, Hawaii remained a territory for sixty years. Plantation owners and key capitalists, who maintained control through financial institutions, or "factors," known as the "Big Five", found territorial status convenient, enabling them to continue importing cheap foreign labor; such immigration was prohibited in various states.

Globalisation and Maori (Part 2/2)

Edward Goldsmith explains the corporate takeover of governments and the global centralised planning being orchestrated by multinationals through the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Globalisation and Maori explores this corporate agenda through its impact upon the Maori of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and other peoples.
For tens of thousands of years tribal societies around the world achieved the universal ideal of a sustainable balance between individual, community, and environment.
These advanced and highly diverse cultures maintained stable and fulfilling societies characterised by small, human-scale communities, low-impact technologies, sustainable resource management, successful population control, holistic and ecologically integrated worldviews, and a high degree of social cohesion, physical health, psychological well-being and spiritual fulfilment for their members.
This careful balance however, was to be systematically destroyed around the world by the aggressive invasion of European colonial powers, which today has been superseded by the similarly aggressive advance of the global market system—its principle activity being to plunder and destroy all social and ecological wealth for purely economic returns.
Will the secrets of these sustainable societies be rediscovered in time? Will the vital living forces behind them be brought to bear upon and reverse the regressive malignancy of globalisation?
"Globalisation and Maori" explores this destructive process through its impact upon the Maori of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and other peoples around the world.
