  • Native Hawaiian is redundant to me where "native" IS Hawaiian so it is annoying. "Oiwi" or "Kanaka maoli" is fine. I just do not get hung up on names. I can see why some people do though when money is involved.
  • Thank you for pointing out the difference. In my nonprofit I have both native hawaiian and kanaka maoli addressed when I filed under the IRS for exemption. Noting also that the IRS is not part of the federal government as initially created. That's another subject for discussion.
