Along with proving Native Hawaiian ancestry, registrants must affirm the unrelinquished sovereignty of the Native Hawaiian people and my intent to participate in the process of self-governance.
This was in the court filing and was not contested as factual by the defendants. Thus persons who do not affirm sovereignty are excluded from participation.
That's the essence of how screwed up this is. Not only is there a racial entrance fee, those of the preferred race have to agree with the initial premise to join the club. Absolutely absurd. Watching dakine try to dance around that reality is...well, typical. Though s/he has shown restraint in manners lately, so s/he has _that_ going for him/her..
And, btw, Hawaii is already a state...check wikipedia.com on that.
Cheers,
