In this episode of Pod Squad host Chad Blair and producer April Estrellon visited Kelii Akina at his new office at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Akina has long been a supporter of Hawaiian entitlements but is not a fan using public money to further federal recognition for聽Native Hawaiians, which he considers to be race-based.
