Hawaii’s native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty over its own affairs. But much of the archipelago’s political establishment, which includes the White Americans who dominated until the Second World War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea.
The islands were annexed by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii’s native peoples have lived worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of the state’s homeless, suffer levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians. They are the only major US native group without some degree of autonomy.
But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii’s frist native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives’ cause a major boost be recommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whether to reestablish a sovereign Hawaiian nation.
However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want greater autonomy with the state—as enjoyed by many American Indian natives overmatters such as education. This is a position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs(OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent to natives’ interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitions in the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the US.
But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count as native those people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood.
Native demands are not just based on political grievances, though. They also want their claim on 660, 000 hectares of Hawaiian crown land to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA US $ 136 million in back rent on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.
Which of the following statement is TRUE of the Hawaiian natives?
选项
A、Sixty percent of them are homeless or unemployed.
B、Their life span is 5 years shorter than average Americans.
C、Their life is worse than that of other ethnic groups in Hawaii.
D、They are the only native group without sovereignty.
答案
C
解析
此题为细节归纳题。据第2段第2句,我们知道,夏威夷州无家可归的人中有60%是夏威夷土著人。这与A的说法不一致,故排除A。据第2段第2句的后半句,我们知道,夏威夷土著人的平均寿限比一般夏威夷人而不是美国人少五年,故可排除B。据第2段最后一句,我们知道,夏威夷土著人是美国所有土著群体中唯一不享有自治没有主权的群体,故可排除D。据第2段第1句的后半句可确定C。
