Wealthy individuals like Oprah are settler colonial agents, buying up Hawaiian land by the thousands of acres and in doing so forcing Kānaka Maoli away off of the land in which they’re using as vacation properties. If Oprah wanted to help, she’d give up the land she’s stolen.
The Navy needs to permanently lose access to all non-resident water usage. Wai’anae County has the highest % of kānaka maoli in any County and their community’s already disproportionately exposed to the toxic byproducts of capitalism in HI. The Navy should pay, not Wai’anae!
