Hee is definitely acting in an old school (meaning 60s/70s) Hawaii manner... ;) Also, for the others here...on the occupation. I haven't read this particular article, but I'm sure it covers the basics. The main question is 'was it a nation when the US gov't overthrew Hawaii or was it a group of individual kingdoms?' Many get that wrong and that's what matters to international courts on the current issue of Hawaiian sovereignty. For sure, it was a nation due to a forced treaty agreement with Kaumuali`i. The rest of the individual island kingdoms were conquered with violence by Kamehameha who then created a lahui..a nation. Therefore, it is a military occupation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overthrow_of_the_Hawaiian_Kingdom scott well, that does it for the history lesson. ;-)
