APOLOGY MONEY?

As a concerned Hawaiian and the mō'ī of Mākaha, I have been hearing from some Native Hawaiians that the state has given OHA $160.2 million. This should be used to build a modern Hawaiian nation or big trouble will eome from the majority. The apology was made in 1993 by the federal government, but the state gave the money instead. I guess this is because the state is the government that is here. An apology means the money is supposed to be used to restore what has been stolen. I would like to help build the modem Hawaiian nation the money is supposed to be used for. Maleko Castro Hilo
