Aloha Keli`i, thank you for your thoughts on this very important matter. Considering that you advocate against the DOI's offered path towards federal recognition I am wondering what you would suggest is the appropriate alternative?

Dealing with practical matters such as housing, education and healthcare are all important, but still the question of sovereignty lies at the core of so many issues that I believe it should be addressed. Further I feel that at this most auspicious point in time besides saying no to the DOI's plan a true leader would offer an alternative, a constructive, practical, actually achievable alternative path into a future in which the Hawaiian flag can fly proudly over a sovereign Hawaiian Nation once again. Do you envision such a future? Do you have a plan on how we can achieve an end to this matter once and for all? 

Mahalo for your considerations.
