  1. 1.

    Claim: On the centenary of the overthrow, the US Congress passed the Apology Resolution, acknowledging the 17 January 1893 overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii and offering an apology to Native Hawaiians on behalf of the United States; it passed the Senate 65-34 on 27 October 1993, passed the House by voice vote on 15 November 1993, and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on 23 November 1993. This bundle treats the Apology Resolution as a distinct US governmental act, separate from the sovereignty movement's own, varied positions.
