This was researched, filmed, and edited very well. Good job guys. You helped to educate me about the Akaka Bill.

[atkinsbros]

Mahalo.

[koinohoi]

Your opinion is yours. The country is still here. The lands and governance is in the hands of another. What you going erase. American hawaiians was here since 1926. Erase that one. Restore the rightful government. Get rid of the traitors

Aloha, be sure to check out parts 2 and 3 if you haven't already!

aloha, I personal think that it would be a G0__0D Bill for the Hawaian People. With us Native Indians we get free medical. Such as the V.A. Mainly just Interns... It helps being so far from home. Thus May Y'all be Blessed! ,.../

[CuestasV]

are they any PURE blooded Hawaiians now a days or most of them are just mix race now?

[kurumayala]

@koinohoi if Hawaii was what you wish it to be, then the economy would mirror Tonga. Things are not good, but it could be worse...

I don't know what the Akaka Bill means. It's too policital talk. But coming from us Hawaiian's perspective, it seems to be something bad. And if it is, I would not support it. If it's going to make our Hawaiian population worse then they already is, I would not support it.

Akaka Bill is the continuous promotion of U.S. Manifest Destiny created from the Papal Bulls.

Knowing the history and international laws, and U.S. constitution and laws, the U.S. needs to de-occupy Hawai'i once and for all.

A native hawaiian is created by congress im not created by haoles i come from the family of I' Maoli, Maori, and Maohi which in compass the polynesian triangle that was maped out by our great navigator king Hawai'i Loa thats why u see it on the world map dont fall into there race game! native, indigenous created terms by kaka people so they can keep telln us kaka lies Rise above race above hate an educate yo self with the truth cause the TRUTH IS IMMOVABLE!

[toocoolotool218]

wow awesomely done! William Burgess is pretty ignorant for an attorney. He talks about Native Hawaiians as if they are rebel terrorist groups. He completely ignores how hard it is for any oppressed group to rise up on merit alone in a system that benefited and continues to benefir from their oppression.
