  An assessment of the legal and cultural effects of the arbitrary correlation of blood and race imposed by the US government on the indigenous peoples of Hawai'i. It demonstrates how blood quantum, a system originally intended to restore land to Native Hawaiians, has in fact become an extension of US imperial power in Hawai'i.
