K..."In 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.'Ahahui O Hawai'i, the
