According to a correspondent of mine, a highly educated native Hawaiian, some of them (natives, like him) just want to go back to the Kingdom, without any real idea of what's to be done after that.
Let's face it, aboriginal life in most of the Pacific was pretty easy. You reach up in a tree for food you fish in the ocean for fish, fresh water was usually available, no real need for brick-and-mortar shelter, no need for much beyond the proverbial "grass skirt" for raiment. Probably the biggest worries were volcanoes, hurricanes, and the "Bloombergs*" of the next Island over wanting your Island.
No traffic, no debates over a new rail line up your Island, no "work," no pollution, no noise...
Not bad, eh? I wouldn't mind that myself.
I suspect the "kerfuffle" is just an example of left-wing agitators having found something "new" to cause hate and discontent about. Standard operating procedure for left-wing agitators. Churn up the people with bullhorns and slogans. Get them "trained" for future protests, desptie the triviality of the present new "cause."
Jes' ramblin' before my coffee is ready this rainy AM in Colorado.
