Fasi issues Overthrow proclamation

The City and County of Honolulu recognized January, 1993 as Commemoration of the Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom month, by off ieial proclamation of Mayor Frank F. Fasi. Fasi also ordered the Hawaiian flag to be flown at half-mast from Jan. 11-17 "to remind our citizens of the significance of this anniversary." Office of Hawaiian Affairs chairman Clayton Hee received the proclamation on Dec. 30, 1992 at Honolulu Hale on behalf of OHA. Hawaiians do not live in a vacuum, Hee said, and called for a "cooperative effort of linking arms" with both Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian people. Hee said county governments ean assist the efforts of Hawaiians in re-estab-lishing a sovereign government. Hee acknowledged that there are different forms of sovereignty being discussed and many questions remain unanswered. These questions should be answered at a Hawaiian constitutional convention, Hee said.
