I agree the thing is largely a mess. It would be nice to hear native Hawaiians articulate a good platform.
One thing is pretty clear: I don't think they are going to do that on Punatalk. Look at all the flack I get, and I am not Hawaiian nor am I an ardent supporter of theirs (especially the sovereignty idea). (I regard myself as a moderate supporter).
At any rate, the matter of native Hawaiians is not going away, reflected most currently in topics like the TMT debate and what to do with homeless native Hawaiians (primarily on Oahu).
(added later)
(If anyone has time I would be interested in hearing some views on Professor Chang's statement. His paper is some 20 pp. but the text in question is only about 1 page, about halfway down. His explanation of how the big money that was made in Kahala later being invested in nearby properties and then causing major price rises in real estate all the way through Kaimuku (above Waikiki) seems highly credible.
We know those price hikes occurred. I lived in Waikiki part-time for many years. Know several long-time renters forced out of Kaimuki.)
