The only model presented in the Hawai ' i Poll that achieved more positive than negative votes is the concept of a nation within a nation. Several Hawaiian organizations, including Ka Lahui Hawai ' i, have suggested this format. But even this, which received 48 percent agreement, did not garner a bare majority among those polled. Alika Lambert, a Ka Lahui member who was interviewed after participating in the poll, said that while there are some shortfalls with the organization's format, its concept of an independent representative government for Hawaiians is generally workable. I'm not for a monarchy.
Complete independence is ridiculous.
We can't do that after going through 106 or 107 years of being colonized. Achievable Hawaiians, by a large majority, said that they are convinced that an acceptable form of Hawaiian government is possible. They just haven't seen it yet. The margin of error from the results is 4.9 percent. The Honolulu Advertiser, a division of Gannett Co. Inc.
