The owners of land are those who have been able to hold against attempted conquest by the next group who tries to take it.
If you are not able to defend your land, you will not hold it for very long.
“The widely reported denial of water by M. Kaleo Manuel, the deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, to fight the fires led to national outrage, but local pro-Polynesian activists and the media rallied to his defense since what he was really defending was ‘native cultivation’ against the sugar cane plantations.”
No, what he was really doing was denying the ability to fight deadly fires.
Tribalism is incompatible with representative government.
Who could the previous inhabitants have been, except for other, earlier Polynesians?
HI likes tourists though. They come, drop a bundle of cash and go. It so happens that I was vacationing on Hi and struck up a conversation with a white nurse who lived on the island. She said that she felt trapped and very alone. Very few suitable mates. Nice place to visit but not to live.
This is also why the government has set up those “shelter in place” processes for dangerous incidents.
Government employees are sent periodic emails indicating in the event of a problem like a terror attack or extreme weather event, they may be asked to shelter in place instead of escaping outdoors, all with the intent of reducing mayhem.
The thing is, they don’t send those emails to white people.
stationed Oahu 79-81
anti haole and anti popolo racism was very strong then, too.
Friend of mine was shot in the head for his watch once by kanakas, he lived, they were bad shots
lots of fights every 15th and 30th downtown Honolulu
What looks like incompetence by government officials really reflects an ongoing racial conflict. Leftist activists, most of them white or black, have organized some activist Polynesian residents (often wrongly referred to as native Hawaiians) along the American Indian or Australian aboriginal model into their own system with extensive leverage over the bureaucracy.
Ongoing conflicts over water rights between plantations and so-called ‘native cultivation” led to a denial of water to fight the fires. The widely reported denial of water by M. Kaleo Manuel, the deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, to fight the fires led to national outrage, but local pro-Polynesian activists and the media rallied to his defense since what he was really defending was ‘native cultivation’ against the sugar cane plantations.
Even with the wildfires going on, the Hawaii Supreme Court rejected a petition from the state government to free up water to fight the fires. The state was not allowed to divert water from that being wasted for “customary Hawaiian practices and ecological balance”.
It is worth going over to the link to read the entire article and comments.
Looks like Greenfield is touching the third rail of politics - racism by "natives", whomever they may be. But only leftist "natives" are allowed any TV time.

Don’t know if it’s true but I have read...more than once...that “native” Hawaiians don’t particularly like white people.
