Yep, incredibly, in this new millenia, DNA is to be the trump card.

“Under a program created by Congress in 1921, Native Hawaiians with strong bloodlines can get land for a home for $1 a year.”
Unfortunately, it’s on the Kilauea lava flow.

This is ridiculous. I think it’s possible that the Hawaiian royal family was worse off because of the annexation. But the Hawaiian people? Just look at the basket cases that pass for nations in the Central Pacific. No way, no how.

If my parents honeymooned in Hawaii can I at least get a low interest mortgage there?

I was watching the Hawaii/San Jose St game last week and noticed Hawaii didn’t the American flag on their helmets. They’re the first team I noticed not having them. I wonder what was behind that decision?

Unfortunately, it’s on the Kilauea lava flow. Or Kaho'olawe.

Kama aina bump. This is similar to Indian reservations. The missionaries came to do good and did well for themselves. Their families basically took over vast tracts of land and you see a lot of sharecropper/plantation vestiges in real estate transactions, like buying a "life estate" in a home instead of outright home ownership.
One of these families practically owns the island of Niihau and keeps the Polynesians as pets.
Most of these descendants are not so ancient in Hawaii--they came there from other Polynesian islands.
Considering how few they are and how unique is Hawaii--I don't think it's such a big deal.

I have the entire boxed set of Hawaii 5-0 TV programs. What do I get ?
To: SmithL
Somehow I don’t think there were “hundreds of thousands of Hawaiians” killed or otherwise.

Ke mahalo nui aku nei au i ko pu.
I was stationed in Pearl Harbor long enough for my daughter to be born on Oahu. As far as I’m concerned, she’s a Hawaiian.
