BBC News ^ | November 1, 2015 | Taylor Kate Brown

Recognition would define native Hawaiians as a separate political entity - protecting many of the federal programmes currently provided to native Hawaiians, like favourable housing loans, a land trust programme, health care, educational and cultural grants.

It would also allow for an element of economic independence, although one industry that has enriched a few Native American tribes - gambling - is banned in Hawai'i.

An employee of mine and her husband vacationed in Hawaii and liked it so much they decided to move there. They sold what they had, took the kids, and did it. They love it, but admit “island fever” gets you from time to time. Oh, and the native Hawaiians are a..holes.

Will they take Porto Rica, and maybe DC, with them?

I spent 2 years there when in the Navy. After 6 months I was bored to tears. You can only go around the island so many times and they don’t have ferries to go from island to island.


A friend of mine sold his AC business, retired, and he and his wife moved from Houston to Hawaii where his kids lived.

About six months later, I ran into him at Wal-Mart. When I asked him what happened, he looked at me and said, “A man can only take so much paradise.”

There aren’t enough Hawaiian Hawaiians to give anything to...They’re mostly Japanese...

“We are a horrible occupying oppressive people”

That’s what most Hawaiians said about Kamehameha.

It was stupid that we didn’t regurgitate Puerto Rico long ago, too. Unfortunately we’ll see it as a state long before that ever happens.
