The Caribbean island of Barbuda felt the full force of Hurricane Irma. Now, a struggle to control its future is underway. On one side are Barbudans who own the land and want to preserve their unique way of life — on the other, the government and foreign investors who see opportunity in disaster.

• Pope Francis avoided using the name of Myanmar’s persecuted Rohingya minority in a much-anticipated speech in the country’s capital today.
The omission disappointed rights advocates who had hoped he would specifically denounce the military’s campaign of violence against the Muslim ethnic group.
• “The future of Myanmar must be peace, a peace based on respect for the dignity and rights of each member of society, respect for each ethnic group and its identity,” the pope said, addressing a gathering including Myanmar’s civilian leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

“You were here long before any of us were here,” Mr. Trump told the veterans, ages 90 and older. “Although we have a representative in Congress who, they say, was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas.”
Ms. Warren once identified herself as a minority, citing Native American roots.
• Native American leaders quickly criticized the president’s remark, which the White House defended.

• A royal couple for a modern kingdom.
Sarah Lyall, a longtime London correspondent for The Times, reflected on Prince Harry’s engagement to Meghan Markle, a divorced American who is biracial, and what it means for Britain:
“The engagement is significant, in part as a frivolously welcome distraction at a time of unrelenting bad news about the economy, about Britain’s painful ‘Brexit’ from Europe and about Britain’s place in the world. More than that, it is an example of openness and inclusivity in a country that is sorely divided over issues like race and immigration.”
The prince helped to design the engagement ring, which included two diamonds that belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. Watch the couple discuss how he proposed here.

Back Story
Though no longer an official holiday in Hawaii, Nov. 28 was once celebrated as Independence Day, or La Kuʻokoʻa in the Hawaiian language, the day in 1843 that Britain and France recognized Hawaii as an independent kingdom.
The first European to reach the Hawaiian Islands was James Cook in 1778. He was soon followed by missionaries and sugar cane growers. In 1842, King Kamehameha III, concerned that foreign powers might seize Hawaiian territory, tried to negotiate independence treaties with the U.S., Britain and France.

The king had good reason to be worried. The following year, a British naval captain occupied the Hawaiian kingdom for five months before his superiors arrived to overrule him. The kingdom’s return to Kamehameha’s rule on July 31, 1843, became known as Sovereignty Restoration Day.
A few months later, Britain and France recognized Hawaiian independence.
It was short-lived. A group of Americans and Europeans overthrew Queen Liliuokalani in 1893 when she tried to rewrite the Constitution, and Hawaii was annexed by the U.S. in 1898. In 1959, it became the 50th state.
Hawaiian Independence Day and Sovereignty Restoration Day continue to be observed by activists who say the islands are still being occupied, only now by the U.S.
