Introduction The Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2009 (Akaka Bill) is a proposed law that seeks to reorganize the lives of native Hawaiians by recognizing them as native indigenous tribe using federal laws. The Akaka Bill has raised a lot of debate over the recent past with different sides calling for the support while others calling for the stop of the bill. The bill once passed would recognize native Hawaiians in the same manner as native Indians although the bill seeks to ban native Hawaiians from participating in gaming. On December 2009, an un-amended version of the Akaka bill was passed by a Congressional House Committee however the bill was amended a day later causing inconsistencies with the earlier version of the Akaka bill. The bill is yet to be passed into law as it awaits a vote at the senate. Questions and Issues on Akaka Bill Many questions or issues have been raised about the Akaka bill, though the main issue is that of formation of a governing entity to take care of native Hawaiian life and culture.

The bill will lead to formation of a Kingdom which according to many will exclude non-Hawaiians from participation in the governing entity.

Support for Akaka Bill The Akaka bill has received support from many quarters based on the provisions of the bill which will seek to recognize and protect the identity of native Hawaiians in a new governing entity. Those in support of the bill argue that by passing the bill the American government and people will exercised their duty of recognizing minority tribes and races. According to the Senator Akaka, the sponsor and supporter of the bill, he contends that the bill will set a legal parity between the native Hawaiian government and federal government. This relationship according to him is similar to native tribal governments with the federal government and thus it will propel the fight for interests of native Hawaiian within a new governing entity (Rowland 1). Another factor that has led to the support of the Akaka bill is that the bill seeks to enhance and protect programs that help native Hawaiians. Programs such as the Kamehameha schools, health-care and housing programs are some of the programs which the Akaka bill seeks to provide under the new govern
