Cantwell supports giving native Hawaiians indian rights

According to the National Center for Public Policy Research proposed senate legislation, "The Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2005 (S. 147)," co-sponsored by Cantwell, would create a Race-Based Government for Hawaii. According to the report: "The bill would essentially create the nation's largest tribe overnight, with approximately 240,000 members in Hawaii, 60,000 members in California (making Native Hawaiians, perversely, California's largest tribe) and 100,000 members throughout the rest of the United States."

So, is America a melting pot or not? Or are we going to see a string of "The (fill in your favorite race, creed, color or sexual orientation) Government Reorganization Act(s) of 20XX" in the near future?
