Majority of islanders support Hawaiian culture, rights


In a Maui News letter, Jim Hylkema says that, "For every one of the small-minded people who decry and deny the Hawaiians their fair share of this world and this life, there are hundreds who support and encourage this noble heritage."

Majority of islanders support Hawaiian culture, rights

I notice by recent letters to the editor that we have among us a new crop of would-be culture killers giving voice to narrow thinking. Good. These mental cripples help to focus Hawaiian culture on its survival and make it stronger and more vibrant.

For every one of the small-minded people who decry and deny the Hawaiians their fair share of this world and this life, there are hundreds who support and encourage this noble heritage.

Wherever the Americans have failed in their programs of domination, there are always embarrassing leftovers that just will not go away, such as the Hawaiians. Mean-spirited Hawaii haters can learn to live with the remnants of that decimated Hawaiian culture or keep quiet and I won't have to waste my right to free speech appealing to sick souls who write trash in our newspaper.
