I find this whole discussion on the "pooh `ting" Native Hawaiians a bit tiring.  The Native Hawaiian Community can finally settle this whole thing by taking our foot out of our mouth and putting some real muscle in doing it.  Not that we don't have alternatives...we do.  But, you gotta admit the rhetoric is deafening and we have not moved an inch from where we have been since Statehood.  Now is the time to choose,  who and what you want to be,  na kanaka!  I am at this point, it's not about where we want to go, but it's about the free ride to nowhere.  The Native Hawaiian community need to decide now...in this century and before the ocean make the final decision.
