I think Mililani should take you up on your offer to do one of your commentaries by doing a counterpoint to your commentary regarding federal recognition for Hawaiians.
The following is from Kumu Michael Lee, sent out to many native Hawaiians today. I hope those on the Cc line will pass along Michael's comments and the story link below.
Dakota Access Pipeline 'Water Protectors' Block Construction Despite National Guard Blockade, Police Harassment and Arrests
Aloha Friends;
This is an example of the NOT SO GREAT / NATION TO NATION relationship between American Indian Nations have with the U.S, Department of Interior that some in the Hawaiian community want all Hawaiians to get in bed with to give up their unbroken rights that the US does not have claim over our land and become a willing participant in losing all our tenant rightists from the great Mahele by having the D.O.I. claim you Hawaiian's gave us your land and Mahele tenant rights freely and willingly so we can do whatever we choose to with your land.
OHA take warning look how great the D.O.I treat the so called Nation to Nation relationship. I see slave to Master is this the kind of relationship you're really pushing for when it comes to taking care of Papa Nui Mother Earth when the pedal to the metal hits the road you really want to exchange places for what?
I see subjugation and contempt for the US Department of Interior to Lakota Nation and their indigestion cultural value sets.
To willingly chooses to go down this path of US Nation to Indigenous Tribal subjugation relationship is insane and here is a clear example in this article please read it and weep.
Is this the life you want for the next generation to have as your wonderful legacy in history you will be remembered for?
