what reparations the new Hawaiian government owes to the Menehune?
No doubt any reparations will take the form of Ronald Reagan's successful Trickle Down Economics Program. Under Reagan money from the rich made it's way by natural forces to the middle class and then eventually to the poor.
Trickle Down Reparations will work in much the same manner. When money from the US Government is transferred to the New Hawaiian Government, it will create a system to disperse those funds to it's citizens. Probably using OHA or DHHL as a model. Then, the New Hawaiian citizens, with their experience and understanding of having had their land, culture, and religion appropriated, repressed or destroyed, will continue to distribute a fair share of the monetary and land distribution to the Menehune.
