Procedures for Reestablishing a Formal Government-to-Government Relationship with the Native Hawaiian Community (US Department of the Interior Regulation) (DOI) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Procedures for Reestablishing a Formal Government-to-Government Relationship with the Native Hawaiian Community (US Department of the Interior Regulation) (DOI) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule establishes the Secretary of the Interior's (Secretary) administrative process for reestablishing a formal government-to-government relationship with the Native Hawaiian community to more effectively implement the special political and trust relationship that Congress established between that community and the United States. The rule does not attempt to reorganize a Native Hawaiian government or draft its constitution, nor does it dictate the form or structure of that government. Rather, the rule establishes an administrative procedure and criteria that the Secretary would use if the Native Hawaiian community forms a unified government that then seeks a formal government-to-government relationship with the United States. Consistent with the Federal policy of self-determination and self-governance for indigenous communities, the Native Hawaiian community itself would determine whether and how to reorganize its government.
