To say this proposal is designed to protect Hawiian culture is asinine, its like saying black/white segregation is a way of preserving the WHITE culture. Are you suggesting the Hawaiian culture is worth protecting, but the white culture is not?
What culture brought to Hawaii by immigrants would you consider worth saving?

Hmmm, I'm a bit confused by your responce. Maby I misunderstood you, I thought you were implying protection of Hawaiian culture was a good reason to give them thier own tribal land.
Back on topic, though, I see no reason why any group of people in the US deserve, or need anything difforent than anyone else. If you are a US citizen, dispite your skin color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, ect, you are an american - like it or not.
