So they say. It is a colony. They colonised it virtually displacing
the
locals.


Pretty much every human inhabited location is the result of some other
group
being displaced or conquered, and often it was done many times in the
same
location by different groups. Hawaii itself was a unified group of
kingdoms. By your reasoning, most of the world is a colony. Hawaii is
a
state, the majority of residents including those of Polynesian ancestry
support remaining so.

Not what I read. A majority of Polynesianians want independence.




I looked around and cannot find anything that supports your contention. On
the other hand the LA Times mentions a 1999 survey in which "43% of
Hawaiians--evenly split among natives and nonnatives--either favored or
partly favored the idea of sovereignty."
