Why have we native Hawaiians allowed another culture (American) to determine our self determination?We keep allowing the thieves into our house, only to be told by the thieves, "Let's vote to decide if we (the thieves) will be allowed to stay."The way a lot of people look at the Akaka Bill, native Hawaiians are being told if we do vote for it, we're racists — and if we don't vote for it, then, "You had your chance."This bill is a total sham. We'll get nothing but another layer of American government to deal with, and it'll end up like the Office of Hawaiian Affairs: supposedly for the people but answerable to the US government.William Kalamakuaikalani DeBoltKea`au, Hawai`i
Have being under occupation of the United States for over 117 years helped the Hawaiians? No. Have the Hawaiian Homes Commison Act helped the Hawaiians? No. Have Statehood for Hawaii helped the Hawaiians? No. The AKaKa BILL will be no different in helping Hawaiians. Like the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, the AKaKa BILL is design for Failer in helping Hawaiians.
