Support federal recognition of a Native Hawaiian government if Native Hawaiians form a government under Department of the Interior rules and seek recognition.

I support the administrative rules promulgated by the Department of the Interior which permit a Native Hawaiian government to establish a relationship with the U.S. government. If Native Hawaiians form a government consistent with those rules and seek federal recognition, I would likely support the request.

Schatz said he supported the Interior Department rules and would likely support federal recognition if a Native Hawaiian government formed under those rules and requested recognition.
