The Akaka Bill epitomizes so much of what is wrong with it. They call it the Native Hawaiian Government Re-organization Act when it is really the Native Hawaiian LAND Reorganization Act yet in the local and national B.S. media they try to play mind games by calling it "the Akaka Bill" as though somehow it is Hawaiian.
