This report shows that America's history of exploiting the lives of Native Hawaiians, and particularly Native Hawaiian women, has far from vanished. These horrific findings show the inability of the US armed forces to address this urgent problem. It is a convergence of colonization, militarization, racism, and patriarchy — the Native Hawaiian community deserves accountability and justice.
US Indo-Pacific Command is eager to build relationships with the Native Hawaiian community. Local concerns and consultations with the community must guide dialogue, actions, and solutions. Because the mission of the US military is to provide for national defense, it entails being good stewards — and that means listening, partnering, and making changes as needed.
