The Star Bulletin published an interesting Census Bureau study today that indicated as a socioeconomic group, those identifying themselves as kanaka maoli still find greater economic challenges than any other ethnic group living in Hawai'i.
Besides speeding up the permits for building on homestead lands, what other ways can the State help lift the kanaka maoli from their poverty without running into issues of discrimination? It's not as simple as telling them all to get jobs...many of them work full time and yet still barely have enough to support their families. Is better education the answer?
"Without the kanaka maoli, there would be no Hawai'i".
