@scottca075 Just because you are born in Hawaii does not mean you are Hawaiian. Unless a family member has been registered as a Hawaiian before 1893, you are not native hawaiian, no matter how much you say you are. All nations of the world and their people are not truly originally from there since, they all were once untouched by humans. Same for Hawaii. They established a society there first just like any other society of the world.

Kamehameha Schools has a preference-based policy. Anyone can apply, with or without Hawaiian ancestry. However, preference is given to those of Hawaiian ancestry since Kamehameha Schools stands as a private educational institution with a remedial policy meant to remedy past wrongs that started centuries ago after Western contact. As it stands, Hawaiians have the highest rates of poverty and health problems, and the lowest educational standing. This school is also meant to remedy that problem too

LEAVE KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS ALONE!!!!! THE UNITED STATES HAD TAKEN AWAY ENOUGH FROM HAWAII. OUR KINGS, QUEENS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE & LANDS. AND NOW EDUCATION FOR THE KANAKA MAOLI! PURE SELFISHNESS! THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT JUST KEEPS ON TAKING AND TAKING UNTIL IT IS ALL USED UP!!!!! WHAT IS THE REAL PURPOSE OF THIS CHILD WANTING TO ATTEND KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOL? IT IS OBVIOUS. TO CAUSE TROUBLE BY TRYING TO DIVIDE OUR PEOPLE. AND AS YOU CAN SEE... IT UNITED TOGETHER AS ONE PEOPLE & ONE NATION.

@koapaka2010 Guess you didn't read what I wrote. 1,700 years ago NO ONE lived there. The Polynesians came by boat, the British and Russians came by boat. The Polynesians had no special claim to the land, the people who came later had just as much a right to be there.

[scottca075]

@koapaka2010 Hey, I was born in Hawaii, so I am a native Hawaiian. We all know how the islands were formed and when and when the first people got there. Maybe you need to spend more time in history and geology classes and less time at meaningless activities.

The double hulled catamarans that sailed all over Polynesia were just as much boats as were the Viking Knarr and in some cases bigger.

@scottca075 You are a dumb fuck!!! First you said "The British were first, then the Russians etc... then you added "Hawaiians were not native to the land, they just got there first" Gotta love STUPID PEOPLE! WHere you from Botswana, Africa...so far away you have no clue to the islands of Hawai'i nor the people or culture you dodo head stink person!

[koapaka2010]

@scottca075 You better go and brush up on your history. Maybe, you should go further back in history and not stop at 200 years. The islands had been populated with Polynesians and had no British, Russian, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino living there.

[koapaka2010]

The Polynesian people arrived in canoes and not boats. The Hawaiians are native to the land, (being the place or environment in which a person was born or a thing came into being) and deserve the rights they fight for today.

It is obvious that you are the ignorant person here. Please conduct a thorough research before opening the hole in your face and making comments without actually knowing the circumstances.
