Let's get past the beautiful language here, and get real - if you are against the entire concept of OHA and feel Hawaiians should have no agency managing the "ceded" land trust for the "betterment of Native Hawaiians", vote for Keli'i Akina. Cause that is what he will do - just read his statements above. 

Hawaiians had their government overthrown, lands stolen without compensation, were subject to denationalization and crimes under the U.S. public law 100-606 - the Genocide act. 

I agree that OHA trustees need to be held accountable. However, this candidate want to be a trustee in order to destroy the institution, as well as undermine the rationale for its existence. 

The Grassroots Institute of Hawaii has repeatedly filed suits and taken actions to extinguish even the few hard-won rights for Hawaiians under the law. If you feel you are in solidarity with the Hawaiian people, please consider another candidate. I recommend taking a look at Daniel Anthony, you may be surprised.
