" Any work done to help Hawaiians return to the 'aina will be an investment in justice, sustainability, and economic opportunity for long-time local residents / keiki o ka 'aina."
What do you think that race based program started almost 100 years ago was supposed to do?  It's called DHHL.  And your statement was what Prince Kuhio argued before Congress.  He said, "The Polynesian race is a dying one, and to save it we must put them back on the land to farm".  
Well we know that it is certainly NOT a dying race, as there are more Polynesian-Hawaiians than ever before, more than 550,000 according to the last U.S. Census.  As far as the DHHL it has been a dismal failure with 100s of millions in bad debt, and the program has morphed into putting people in houses that they cannot afford to pay for, and little or no farming at all.  A complete failure that should be done away with.
