What's going on?

A few days ago, a district court judge ruled to allow a challenge to state-run programs for Hawaiians, The plaintiffs sued OHA again, who represent Hawai'i's native descendants in their homeland for their earned benefits due them as vested interest heirs, Descendants have had great difficulty when being judged, īn courts that will oppose the intents of the descendants' original government and their landed estate held in eommon and not ina so-called public trust, Plaintiffs previously sued OHA as a race grouping, but it's more the heirs and their landed estate being treated as a racial group that supposedly enjoy discriminating when receiving ceded land revenues, Contrarily, descendant heirs possess every race imaginable in their make-up, Then why single out as low as a 1/500 blood quantum as a race when all races as descendants are also enjoying these same ceded land benefits? Smells like a "red herring" and is also costly, Plaintiffs' lawyers are asking for $300 per hour and target OHA to pay their fees in these many ongoing cases, with no end in sight, Presidents Cleveland and Clinton both called for corrections and reconciliation, īt is time to understand this, and TO DO ĪT.
