No,Bronson.  Resources need to be spent where there is agreement, and to better the condition of our people.  All people want to see their families do well.  In Hawaii...Kanaka Maoli...not an exception.  There would be agreement on that no matter what you believe in terms of self governance.  Btw as the word implies...self governance begins with self and sustaining one's self and their ohana and the communities they live in.  

I prefer to stay present focused.  Our high incarceration rates, economic struggles (jobs, housing) and education (no diploma or GED, lack of post high school education), uses of farmland ( for farming with water), protection of lands and waters and resulting poor health is where OHA resources et al (money, time, attention) can be allocated.

I do not buy the "fear mongering" of federal recognition.  We are not wards of anybody (unless we chose to be).
