THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE ASKS, "WHY DIDN'T HAWAIIANS SUPPORT THE AKAKA BILL," HERE'S WHAT TO TELL THEM -
Federal recognition (Akaka bill) is now on the ash heap of history - a failed solution.
It's thesis was going hat in hand to the US federal government for help and turning Hawaiians inward and against each other in their own land.
For more than 100 years, this had not worked.
Moreover, the very people trying to push federal recognition down the throats of Hawaiians were the very ones who never asked Hawaiians what they wanted!
Instead, we can seize the opportunity to create a dynamic new nation through which we can maintain our culture and values, have more control over our future and be a leader again among the pacific nations.
Let This Be Our Legacy To Future Generations.
