Although I'm not Hawaiian, I've alwa...You said it! Although I'm not Hawaiian, I've always respected their culture and ways. My children are Hawaiian and their future children will be. I feel the same way about the sale of ceded lands as well. Just on Tuesday, I was at Kamehameha School (Kapalama) getting my daughter tested for Kindergarten and I told Jared that I felt so close to the land or aina. I'm not sure why I was overcome with that feeling and I wouldn't know how to go about explaining it. I guess I can go about describing it like the same peaceful, calm feeling in the temple but not quite. Maybe a sense of belonging too. Anyway, at the briefing, we were told that out of the 1300 applicants, only 80 students would be accepted. Jared then wispered in my ear about how he thought it was so wrong that the school is being hit with lawsuits about it's Hawaiian ancestry policy. If Kamahameha schools did away with "Hawaiian prefrence first", how much harder would it be to get into the school if Hawaiians were competeing with non Hawaiians? I appreciate the legacy that Princess Bernice Pauahi Biship left for the kids. A school that rightfully was willed to the Hawaiian children should stay that way. <BR/><BR/>And I apreciated the blog<BR/>you wrote about the Native Hawaiian Reorganization Act. I wasn't too familiar with it but thanks for enlightening me on the subject. Something stood out to me as I read it though. . . the part about the 10 pillars of communism. Do we really live in a true democratic society? I don't even know were to begin my plight in answering this question. My answers might come out all jumbled and mixed up but I do feel that our country is heading down that path of communism. <BR/><BR/>Just wanted to tell you that I love your blogs and I look foward to reading them.
