WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of the Interior announced today a proposal
to create an administrative procedure and criteria that the Secretary of the
Interior would apply if the Native Hawaiian community forms a unified
government that then seeks a formal government-to-government relationship
with the United States. Under the new proposal, the Native Hawaiian community
— not the Federal government — would decide whether to reorganize a Native
Hawaiian government, what form that government would take, and whether it
would seek a government-to-government relationship with the United States.
华盛顿-美国内政部宣布今天提出一个去创造一个行政程序和标准.假如夏威夷本土岛民共
同体形成一个联合的政府那时寻求与美国政府一个正式政府对政府的关系,内政府部长将
施行这样的步骤.在这个提议下,夏威夷本土岛民共同体-不是联邦政府-将决定是否改组为
夏威夷本土岛民政府,什么样的政府型态成立,和是否他将寻求一个与美国政府为政府对政
府的关系.
“The United States has a long-standing policy of supporting self-governance
for Native peoples, yet the benefits of the government-to-government
relationship have long been denied to Native Hawaiians, one of our nation’s
largest indigenous communities,” said U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally
Jewell. “Today’s proposal is testament to the Obama Administration’s
strong support for our nation’s Native peoples’ right to self-determination.
”
美国有一个支持本土岛民自治的长久持续政策，可是政府对政府关系的利益长久以来一直
被拒绝给予我们国家最大土著共同体其中之一的夏威夷本土岛民，”美国内政部长萨莉．
朱厄尔（Sally Jewell）说。“今日的提议证明欧巴马政府强烈支持我们国家的本土人民
的自决权利。”
The proposal, which takes the form of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM),
builds on more than 150 Federal statutes that Congress has enacted over the
last century to recognize and implement the special political and trust
relationship between the United States and the Native Hawaiian community. The
NPRM comes on the heels of a robust and transparent public comment period as
part of an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) process that began
last year and included public meetings. More than 5,000 members of the public
submitted written responses to the ANPRM, and they overwhelmingly favored
creating a pathway for re-establishing a formal government-to-government
relationship.
采用提议规范公告（NPRM：a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking）形式之该提议建基于超
过150项美国国会在上个世纪之中已制定的联邦法令上，以便承认和实施美国与夏威夷本
土岛民共同体之间特别的政治与信任关系。该提议规范公告（NPRM：a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking）紧跟在坚强且透明的公众评论期之后而来，它做为去年开始且含
盖了公开会议的提议规范预先公告（ANPRM：an Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking）程序之一部分。超过5,000会员大众将书面答复提交到提议规范预先公告（
ANPRM：an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking），并且他们压倒性地支持创造一
条再建立正式政府对政府关系之小径。
“We’ve listened to the feedback we received during the public meetings and
in writing and worked to improve the proposal to reflect those comments,”
added Jewell. “We appreciate the many voices on this topic and look forward
to hearing from the public on this proposal.”
“我们已听取了我们在公开会议期间及以书面方式所收到的反应，并且我们已用功以改进
要反应那些评论的提议，”朱厄尔（Jewell）补充说。“我们感谢关于这话题的很多意见
且盼望接到有关这提议的大众信息。”
If a government-to-government relationship is reestablished, it can provide
the community with greater flexibility to preserve its distinct culture and
traditions and special status under Federal law that enables the community to
exercise powers of self-government over many issues directly impacting
community members.
假如政府对政府关系被再建立起来，它能够在很多直接冲击共同体成员的议题上提供该共
同体较大的灵活性以保存它在联邦法律下使该共同体能够行使自治政府权限的不同文化与
传统以及特殊地位。
The Native Hawaiian community has not had a formal government since the
overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893. In 1993, Congress enacted the
Apology Resolution, which offered an apology to Native Hawaiians on behalf of
the United States for its role in the overthrow and committed the Federal
government to a process of reconciliation. As part of that reconciliation
process, in 2000 the Department of the Interior and the Department of Justice
jointly issued a report identifying as its lead recommendation the need to
foster self-determination for Native Hawaiians under Federal law.
自从1893年推翻夏威夷王国，夏威夷本土岛民共同体一直没有正式的政府。于1993年，美
国国会通过了代表美国为其在推翻王国时的角色向夏威夷本土岛民提出道歉且要联邦政府
投入和解过程的道歉决议案（the Apology Resolution）。做为和解过程的一部分，于
2000年，美国内政部和司法部共同发表一份做为其领先的建议而认同在联邦法律下促进夏
威夷本土岛民自决之需要的报告。
