What islands of Hawaii can tourists not go on?
Kaho'olawe or The Target Isle will probably never be a tourist mecca. Unexploded Naval ordnance will continue to be a threat for decades although it has already been 20 years since the US Navy quit using it as a target range in 1990. Stubbing your toe on an unexploded 16 inch Mark 8 AP shell or any other type of weaponry can be hazardous to your health.
Ni'ihau is privately owned and while it is by invitation only, day tours are sometimes allowed. Only a very rare number of people have ever been on all eight of the "main" Hawaiian Islands and the number of living persons that have remained overnight on all eight of them can probably be counted on one hand.
Is it true All Hawaiian natives approved of the U.S. annexation of Hawaii in 1898?
No, not all. Of course, some did see it as beneficial to align with, and become part of the United States. Others, however, saw it as a forceful takeover of their native lands. Nowadays, it has become very unpopular for native Hawaiians to speak in support of the annexation. Activists believe it to have been wrong and are seeking reparations, some even advocating to break away from the United States all together. It would seem foolish, however, to believe that had the US not had a presence in the Hawaiian Islands, another country would not have "annexed" it for themselves.
