This is not the first time Neil Abercrombie has done something disrespectful to Hawaiians. On Day One, Abercrombie took his oath at the David KalÄkaua Coronation Pavilion which was built for KalÄkaua’s coronation.
When Abercrombie took his oath there it was very disrespectful toHawaiians when he purported to be ali’i too:
Abercrombie called Hawaiians “self-designating†and accused us of using native cultural practices we “discovered six minutes ago†to achieve standing.
Abercrombie wants them thrown out of court.
