Hawaii was a territory then, two wrongs doesn't make it right. im not suggesting that we give hawaii back but acknowledge that we did do them and the natives wrong and move on. im not for political correctness. I could go into how we desicrate graves here and in other places for "progress" graves of Indians were plowed over and also the mounds where they used(dead tribe called the ais) to make a road I often drive and the longhouse(casekkey,casaque ) was found and simply razed to make a community called castaway. im sure if the state allowed your ancestors to be treated like that you would feel different.During WWII if we hadn't occupied Hawaii the Japanese would have massacred everyone on the island chain and then used it to destroy the west coast and beyond.
So, where I have some sympathy for the homeless...the original natives? None! They are alive because of American lives.
