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 groups holds a less radical attitude on the matter of sovereignty?
选项
A、American Indian natives.
B、Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
C、The Ka Lahui group.
D、The Hawaiian natives.
答案
B
解析
据第4段第2句,我们知道,美国印第安土著人只需要一些自治权,并不涉及主权问题,故应排除A。据第4段第3句,我们知道OHA已成了在土著人主权运动中比较温和的组织,故可确定B正确。据第4段最后1句,我们知道,Ka Lahui group在主权问题上非常激进,甚至在1987年自称为一个独立的新国家,故应排除C。据第4段第1句及其与后几句的关系我们可知,the Hawaiian native包括后面说的American Indian natives,OHA,Ka Lahuigroup,故应排除D。
