Tam Hunt - PGV Statement

[randomq]

I think you can be realistic about our country, and the aspirational nature of our values, without discarding the whole enterprise or casting out people because of their race. And most of us here are not squatters as most of our land was freely given or sold by the ali'i and their wealthy families. Land, I might add, that belonged to Puna's chief ʻĪmakakoloa until Kamehameha performed some human sacrifice on him for failing to pay tribute. But sure, *those* were the good old days.

You are viewing native history through rose colored glasses, and our current modern tragedies in full garish color.
