Native Hawaiian Rights

January 16, 1893, Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani was deposed in coup d’état staged by American businessmen supported by a detachment of US Marines. 100 years later the US Congress offered a formal apology and acknowledged it was an illegal act.

The question remains; what, if anything, can or should be done to redress the action the United States of America illegally took against native Hawaiians?
