Thank you Dan for your thoughts. And yes decolonization is a great idea. But please tell me, how would it apply here in Hawaii? Exactly what do you have in mind? 

Decolonization, what would it mean? The entire island chain becoming the Hawaiian Nation? A part of each island? A few of the islands? And in each case, since there is some aspect of this discussion that appears to be race based, how is citizenship decided? And, what is the disposition of non-citizens that have vested interest in the land, in many cases multi-generational concerns? My grandchildren, although of European decent were all born here, My family's home is here.

My point is, at some point without clearly stating how the future will shape up it is futile to dwell on the wrongs of the past. But with a clearly defined vision we can lay to rest that past and work together to build a future. And, I was hoping Walter would share his vision of the future with all of us. Give us something to look forward to.
