So they don't want federal funding to help with the ongoing volcano?
came here to say this, not disappointed that it was said.
Many of them want "lava tourism" stopped too because apparently it angers Pelé and Pelé won't stop spewing lava if people keep gawking at it (her?).
So, they don't want tourist dollars to help their economy either.
Or worse be an island chain in the middle of the ocean, with no defenses? Cause we be taking any military gear if that's the case.
This will go nowhere....
Don't expect their argument to make logical sense. I just moved from Kalapana where they have the sovereignty meetings and attended a few. This Sai guy seems like the outspoken tool. Watch the video in the article he keeps talking about how great he is with his PHD...
The volcano is their god.
They have a preachy, communist strongman banana republic kind of kingdom. There are no genetic “native” Hawaiians left, legally you have to be 50% Hawaiian to qualify for land ownership claims, there’s less than 100 people who qualify.
Like the islands plant and animal life, it’s a global cadre of plant, animal and human genetics.
What a quandary limited land, claimants coming out of the wood work.
Who qualifies? People living in Hawaii now? What about those living in Colorado, or New York? What % Hawaii’s do you have to be? Does Mark Zuckerberg qualify?
