order to preserve our people, culture, and lands, we must take an active role in
this [legal] system. The law is limiting, but it can be, it must be, and it has
been, used to advance the rights of Hawaiian people. That is why I view
increased participation by Hawaiians in the legal process as a positive
step."- Spoken by Chief Justice William S.
Richardson on August 5, 1988.
