The only person in the article with a Hawaiian name opposed the announcement. Considering how diluted the full Hawaiian blood lines have become, it's hard to imagine Hawaii becoming a sovereign nation. It's also economically difficult to imagine.The new rule does not "authorize or in any way contemplate compensation for any past wrongs," the department said. Hawaii Public Radio spoke to an activist named Bumpy Kanahele who opposed the announcement: he said "the involvement of the federal government is not welcome. And stands in the way of a return to an independent, sovereign Hawaiian nation."
