Was the Apology Resolution effective??

During 1993, when the US issued the Apology Resolution, it seemed like the right thing to do and that it would be very effective.  It might have been considered late in coming (a century after the fact), but Native Hawaiians and government officials alike seemed optimistic toward this breakthrough.  After all, an apology would definitely not hurt the situation since the Hawaiians still didn't have their land back.  It seemed as if this apology would not only improve the relationship with Hawaii and the rest of the nation, but also result in some type of reparations, whether it be money or land.  

I thought that this apology was approached in the right way.  It was a good idea to make it official with government documents because this was a political problem to begin with.  If the natives wanted their land back, they would have to do so through the government.  

However, 16 years later, the 1993 Apology Resolution has not accomplished much from the Native Hawaiian's viewpoint.  They still have been compensated for the vast amount of land they lost unrightfully in 1893.  In fact, there is an ongoing court case that went from the Hawaii court rooms, to the Supreme Court, and is now back in the state.  There are numerous organizations, including the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Kau Inoa, that are working to make things better for the Hawaiians after all these years of injustice.
