The Fate Of The Native Hawaiians: The Special Relationship Doctrine, The Problem Of Strict Scrutiny, And Other Issues Raised By Rice V. Cayetano, William E. Spruill
University of Richmond Law Review
Harold "Freddy" Rice is a Native Hawaiian in the sense that he was born in the Hawaiian Islands and can "trace[ ] his ancestry to two members of the legislature of the Kingdom of Hawaii, prior to the Revolution of 1893.

When Rice applied to vote in the 1996 election for the trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs ("OHA"), however, his application was denied. Why? Because, according to a state statute, he was not Hawaiian enough.

The period from 1896 to 1900, the period prior to, during, and immediately following the Spanish American War, which became known to Americans as the “splendid little war,” was a momentous time. An in-depth study of this five-year period--the events leading to the Spanish American War, the War itself and its aftermath--yields a rich and deep understanding of themes at the core of LatCrit theory. This is a key turning point in racial formation of Latino/as, American foreign policy, and American democracy. The U.S. abandoned its isolationist stance, and awkwardly embraced its “duty and obligation” as a “benevolent” world power. …
