I was hoping this thread might just be specific to the Coco Palms case.
If you'd like to include the discussion of Native Hawaiian issues, why not focus on those which pertain to the Coco Palms case? There are plenty of them. For instance:
1) Has anyone seen or read the document(s) that support the land rights claim of the "Activists*?" Is there any followup or superseding documentation? (See my earlier example about a marriage certificate nullified by a divorce)
2) Have the "Activists*" provided a genealogy chart to detail their relationship with King Kaumualii, the last ruler of Kauai? If they are related, are they among 100 descendants, 1000, 10,000? Do they have a plan that will include the input of other descendants, at a meeting, or hold a vote to see how the entire lineage would like to proceed?
I've heard the "Activists*" discuss land deeds and ancestral claims but I don't think I've seen proof of either, or plans which include all of King Kaumualii's descendants. If neither deed nor proof of ancestry is available (or accurate), there would seem to be little else to discuss, other than how long their jail term might be.
