What is the "Akaka Bill"?

Frankly, I'd never heard of this before, but it involves setting up a Native Hawaiian-only governmental body.

Haunani-Kay Trask is or was opposed to it "Pro, con articles on Akaka bill fail to address land issues". So are these related blogs: link, link

On the other hand, many Senators support the bill. But McCain supports it too, so now I'm getting confused: does Trask's opposition outweigh McCain's support?

To add to the confusion, the WashTimes published a guest editorial opposing it: "The pineapple time bomb".
