Comments on this page:
Aloha,

I am a young Native Hawaiian who very much supports the mission of Minority Rights Group International. I do however take serious issue with the listing of the Grassroot Institute of Hawai'i (GIH) as a 'minority based and advocacy organization.' This organization is not an advocate for Native Hawaiian rights nor is it a voice for the Native Hawaiian people.

The GIH has pushed a platform bent on disenfranching Native Hawaiians of their history by speaking for the entirety of the Native Hawaiian people. This organization is completely political in nature, focusing on supporting free market economy and limited government in the State of Hawai'i.

The GIH does not have the interests of the Native Hawaiian people at heart - if it did, it wouldn't constantly be silencing Native Hawaiian history and voice.
