From 2014 to 2025, Mark Zuckerberg bought over 1,400 acres on Kauai Island and stole any land the natives wouldn't sell him, earning the moniker 'the face of neocolonialism.' r/all

Hawaii has only been a state less than 100 years. Nancy Pelosi was a teenager when it became a state. As such native people are very much still there much like native Americans only the colonialism is much more recent.
Native Hawaiians have many rights like native Americans do though they aren't federally recognized as indigenous. There is some argument they should be. I leave that decision to them. But if they wish it i think they should be and Oprah, Zuckerberg and the like should have their properties returned to the Hawaiian people. They can afford the loss.
