What if instead of a blood quantum requirement, they changed it to a skill and culture based requirement and applicants have to compete for it.  Speak Hawaiian, dance the hula, farm taro fields and fish ponds, make tapa clothing, etc.  That would perpetuate the Hawaiian culture and traditions far more than anything else would while being constitutional.  I don't see a flood of people wanting to do that for a leased property they still have to build a home on.

The money comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will fund housing projects statewide to help clear DHHL’s more than 29,000 person waitlist.

DHHL plans to award nearly 1,600 native Hawaiians with agricultural and residential lots through the rest of the year.

“The ongoing allocation of these federal funds allows us to continue
offering affordable housing options that ensure our beneficiaries’ success
and stability for generations to come,” said DHHL Director Kali Watson.

Over the last twenty years, the department has consistently received more
than two times its original allocation, averaging $22.3 million annually.

Off topic....that guy in the video uses a lot of facial expressions and gestures. I've never met anyone that talks like that.

Around 35 years ago, I noticed that my son was playing too much video games. One day it just pi...d me off. I took that Nintendo console outside and drove a pickaxe through it....problem solved.
Today, none of my kids are in jail or rehab. 

With very few exceptions, nothing happens "for nothing".

There's several videos on HHHNewz on FB/Instagram of the incident.  It was a teenage girls party with alcohol.  Couldn't tell what was being said, but it appeared the 2 victims were taunting the others and the lifeguard may have thrown the first punch.  I didn't get the impression that the mobbing would've happened if not for the taunting, and that it was a planned or coordinated fight. Also, it appeared like the 2 victims could have escaped or left the party before the mobbing occurred.

I also see you have modified your post to include the above.
How does my responding to quotes from YOUR post indicate we're talking about anything other than the topic "a mob in the act of trying to beat someone to death." ?

This type standard ensures a nice personal safe-harbor for justifiable inaction, however it’s not an expectation of the code:

“§703-305  Use of force for the protection of other persons.

(1)  Subject to the provisions of this section and of section 703-310, the use of force upon or toward the person of another is justifiable to protect a third person when:
     (a)  Under the circumstances as the actor believes them to be, the person whom the actor seeks to protect would be justified in using such protective force; and
     (b)  The actor believes that the actor's intervention is necessary for the protection of the other person.
(2)  Notwithstanding subsection (1):
     (a)  When the actor would be obliged under section 703-304 to retreat, to surrender the possession of a thing, or to comply with a demand before using force in self-protection, the actor is not obliged to do so before using force for the protection of another person, unless the actor knows that the actor can thereby secure the complete safety of such other person;
     (b)  When the person whom the actor seeks to protect would be obliged under section 703-304 to retreat, to surrender the possession of a thing or to comply with a demand if the person knew that the person could obtain complete safety by so doing, the actor is obliged to try to cause the person to do so before using force in the person's protection if the actor knows that the actor can obtain the other's complete safety in that way; and
     (c)  Neither the actor nor the person whom the actor seeks to protect is obliged to retreat when in the other's dwelling or place of work to any greater extent than in the actor's or the person's own. [L 1972, c 9, pt of §1; gen ch 1993]]>]
My comment "Unless you are personally knowledgeable of all participants, history and events, your interacting is a crap shoot."  in no way insinuates "inaction", it simply...

My math concludes 6,758 total leases and permits were issued as of June 1998, based on the June 2000 audit report.

How do they figure out how much percentage of any ethnic group a person has?

If a person is 100% of whatever and he marries someone who has 25% black, 25% white, 25% filipino, and 25% samoan, is the baby still 50% of whatever that 100% person is?

Vs. somebody who is 100% whatever and marries someone who is 100% of another whatever.

Is it the same or not.  I dunno.  I never was good at math.

And no laugh if this was a stupid question.

Blood quantum is a concept created by white settlers that refers to the amount of so-called
“Indian blood” that an individual possesses. Blood quantum appears as a fraction and is
“calculated” based on an individual’s family tree. Rooted in eugenics, the concept lacks any
scientific basis. For example, when we have children, our biological features are not split in half.
It’s not possible to actually calculate the amount of Native blood someone has. Blood quantum
is a stand-in device for lineage imposed by the U.S. federal government to disempower
Indigenous people and separate them from their lands, resources, culture, identities, languages,
and futures.

I knew of only 1 100% Hawaiian, my friends dad. Which makes my friend 50% Hawaiian now as his mom isn't Hawaiian.  I think theres a bum who I woudl always see in the McCully area and he looks like 100% Hawaiian.  He's often carrying what looks like a pillow and in a tattered gray shirt.  Sometimes he's in Kapahulu. When I was in elementry school in the mid 90's, he was around wearing teh same type of clothing that he wears today.

"Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any
tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong," Cherokee Nation Secretary
of State Chuck Hoskin, Jr., said in a statement at the time. "It makes a mockery
out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal
governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose
heritage is proven. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued
claims of tribal heritage."

In addition to my other post, I found that the reason for the Hawaiian Home Lands law was to "rehabilitate the Hawaiian race" after a decline in the Hawaiian population of 84% starting in 1778 thru 1840.

Imagine a program to give property to White US citizens due to a steep decline in population percentage caused by legal and illegal immigration from predominantly non-White countries.

Why is it the government's job to manipulate the racial, ethnic or ancestral composition of the population at all whether at the local, state or federal level?

With all the interracial children being born the last century from mixed race couples, the decline in ANY racial percentage is mostly due to preferences in partners, not a lack of real estate.  I fail to see how giving a single person with 50% Hawaiian blood quantum a 99 year long land lease will "rehabilitate" the race -- not unless the lease requires spouses/partners and their children also meet the 50% threshold.  Otherwise, what's the point?
