Seems to me many of kids here could care less about protesting and go to universities or other opportunities on the mainland returning only to visit family and friends. They know the sovereignty movement is based on prejudical lies and half-truths.
Not sure about the ones who hang around and don't educate themselves even just about their own history. Perhaps because so many of their ancestors were uneducated indentured servants. Generations of no education in a remote setting apparently is not a good thing and creates a declining society.
I think its the nature of living on a remote island chain. If we were closer to the mainland any mainland and had ferries this conversation would be moot. EXPOSURE is key. Get the kids off the island while they are young, use OHA money to send all the youth to summer camps off the islands.
