tural, spiritual, religious and subsistence purposes. Decreasing the Native Hawaiian chronic disease rates to equal to or less than the general population of HawaiÔi for each of the following: cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, asthma and cancer. 2. I do believe that the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act should and will be enacted into law. OHA should be the funding source for expenses associated with the establishment of the roll and Native Hawaiian Interim Governing Council. As stated in our Strategic Plan, OHA should also adopt a Transition Plan that legally transfers OHAÕs assets and other resources to the new Native Hawaiian governing entity.

3. Obviously, IÕd like the settlement agreement we made with the Governor that resolves OHAÕs past claims for $200 million and maintains the $15 million annually enacted. As the HawaiÔi Supreme Court mandated, however, it is ultimately up to the Legislature to resolve this issue. If there is anything to be encouraged by our inability to move any settlement legislation in the last three sessions, itÕs that the Legislators for the most part have at least declared a desire to address the issue. It is incumbent on OHA Trustees to convince them that the right of Native Hawaiians to beneÞt from the ceded lands trust is a high and overdue priority. I also believe that it is important for OHA to settle any Chapter 10-based revenue claims with the State before a new governing entity is formed, as I am uncertain that it would share those same legal claims.

more important asset is the land awards. It is the land base that will provide for the future wealth of the nation. I would index the value of the land by two measures. One is commercially viable lands whereby the value is established by the market. It would be better to have 35 acres of KakaÔako Makai (Kewalo Basin area) than 200 acres of less valuable rural real estate. A second value index would be measured by the ÒculturalÓ value of the land Ð a notion that I believe was gaining standing during the most recent negotiations. Examples of culturally valuable lands are heiau locations, Þsh ponds, loÔi sites, coastal wetlands and waterways; cultural landscapes whose value is not measured by the real estate market, but by its value to the dignity of emerging nation rebuilding its cultural base. The ceded land settlement is fundamental to building capacity for a Hawaiian future in which we are free of being wards of the government.
AliÔi, who did not intend to build powerful institutions, but to build institutions that would empower their people that they loved so deeply. 3. We should get 100 percent of ceded lands revenue. They took 100 percent of our nation; they used 100 percent of ceded land to make them money. Why do we always have to negotiate for what is truly ours, if not for the Hawaiian Kingdom land base, the State would have no revenue stream. Pay for what they are using, I donÕt see them cutting Hawaiians any slack in giving us free medical care, etc. If the State wants to give us ceded land, then give us the airport or the harbors, where there is a revenue stream. If they give us Maunakea then we should be able to charge premium rent for the privilege of looking so deep into the universe, and insure we share in any patents or royalties attributed to recent discoveries using the ceded land base.
3. The Þrst thing that must take place is that OHA and the State must determine exactly where those ceded lands are and how they are used. OHA and the State have had long-running discussions on this issue. Ideally, there should be a meets and bounds survey to establish their boundaries. Once they are established, the various uses of the individual plats can be easily determined Ð much of it is unusable. In my view, the ÒAkaka billÓ is making it more difÞcult to reach an agreement with the state at this time. I have no doubt that the state will want to wait to see how negotiations play out, and will want to make the issue a part of those negotiations. Now that the HawaiÔi Supreme Court has denied OHAÕs petition for a writ to force the state to pay OHAÕs claim, I do not foresee any justiciable recourse. We need to face facts and negotiate the matter during the negotiations that will take place after formation of the NHGE.

the voices of people most affected. Using data from the HawaiĂ&#x201D;i Criminal Justice Data Center, researchers were able to determine that the disproportionate impact of the criminal justice system accumulates at each stage of the criminal justice process. To give some perspective, Native Hawaiians comprise approximately 24 percent of the general population of HawaiĂ&#x201D;i; yet, Native Hawaiians account for close to 40 percent of the prison population. Comparatively, whites make up approximately 23 percent of the general population and about the same percent of people in prison in HawaiĂ&#x201D;i. And Native Hawaiians comprise 27 percent of all arrests, 33 percent of people in pretrial detention and 41 percent of the people returned to prison for parole violations. Using a multivariate analysis controlling for severity of charge, age at arrest, race and gender, researchers found that Native Hawaiians receive longer prison sentencing compared to most ethnic groups. Native Hawaiians are sentenced to 119 more days in prison than Tongans, 73 more days than Native Americans, and 68 more days that Hispanics. The results of the study also found that whites receive 11 fewer days in prison. A separate analysis, controlling for severity of charge, age at arrest, race and gender, found that Native Hawaiians are sentenced to longer probation terms than every other racial or ethnic group in HawaiĂ&#x201D;i except for Hispanics. On average, Japanese people were sentenced to 14 fewer days of probation and whites were sentenced to almost 21 fewer days than Native Hawaiians.

Perhaps most concerning is the finding uncovered through interviews, which included many Native Hawaiians, that paĂ&#x201D;ahao are often removed, without notice or consent to the continent to serve time. PaĂ&#x201D;ahao were not allowed the opportunity to tell their Ă&#x201D;ohana that they were being moved to the continent, and some participants in the project mentioned that the Department of Public Safety forcibly moves people to the continent using a SWAT team. Native Hawaiians make up 41 percent of the approximately 2,000 people that are held on the continent. Through the experiences of paĂ&#x201D;ahao, it is evident that the criminal justice system and incarceration, in particular, contributes to the unraveling of communities, dismantling of families and the dilution of culture. Not only are paĂ&#x201D;ahao separated from community and family while in prison, when they get out they are cut off from education, jobs and housing, all of which are the foundations for success and resiliency. Such barriers to reintegrating into the community can perpetuate involvement in the criminal justice system for generations to come. In addition to laying bare the traumas associated with incarceration, people who participated in this project pointed to the remarkable resilience of Native Hawaiians to overcome adversity and the cultural values that promote positive outcomes. For example, participants referred to the strength of community and Ă&#x201D;ohana as support mechanisms, hoĂ&#x201D;oponopono as a spiritual process of Ă&#x2019;setting things right,Ă&#x201C; puĂ&#x201D;uhonua as a place of refuge that allows a person to be forgiven, and kuleana as a means of giving back and helping others to stay out of the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system not only unfairly affects Native Hawaiians, it costs HawaiĂ&#x201D;i more than $222 million per year. According to the Pew Charitable Trusts, the state spent just over $18,000 per person in prison per year in 2005. That money could be spent instead on education, mental health services, supportive housing or drug treatment, all of which have been shown to better promote public

the federal government to formally recognize a reorganized Native Hawaiian governing entity. The Akaka Bill receives strong support
from HawaiĂ&#x201D;iĂ&#x2022;s Congressional delegation, Gov. Linda Lingle and the HawaiĂ&#x201D;i State Legislature. While the bill is currently pending a vote in the U.S. Senate, the next U.S. President could decide the ultimate fate of the bill. As members of the U.S. Senate, presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and John McCain have each taken position on the bill. Their views follow, as portrayed by members of their local campaigns.

f elected president, Democratic candidate Senator Barack Obama will fervently support the Akaka Bill. He states his position in the following statement: Ă&#x2019;HawaiĂ&#x201D;i has always acknowledged and celebrated diversity, and an important part of HawaiĂ&#x201D;iĂ&#x2022;s culture is the Native Hawaiian people. For this reason, I am proud to support Senators Daniel Akaka and Daniel Inouye in their efforts to extend the federal policy of self-governance and self-determination to Native Hawaiians. The Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act known as the Akaka Bill provides both the process and opportunity for Native Hawaiian communities to engage themselves in and reorganize their governing entity to establish a federally recognized government-to-government relationship with the United States. The process set forth in this important legislation empowers Native Hawaiians to explore and address the longstanding issues resulting from the overthrow of the Kingdom of HawaiĂ&#x201D;i. As Americans, we pride ourselves on safeguarding the practice and ideas of liberty, justice, and freedom. By enacting this legislation, we can continue this great American tradition and fulfill this promise for Native Hawaiians and ensure that they are not left behind as HawaiĂ&#x201D;i continues to progress. This is an important bill, and if it is not signed into law this year, I commit to supporting it as president.Ă&#x201C;

HawaiĂ&#x201D;i has been the scene of several McCain family milestones, and they enjoy many friendships here in the Islands. When elected President, Senator John McCain will support the continuation of governmental programsĂ&#x2018;on the basis of legitimate economic, health and social need vs. raceĂ&#x2018;in support of Native Hawaiians. He unequivocally favors the continuation of the Hawaiian Homelands program and income from ceded lands. Senator McCain does not support the Akaka Bill. He concurs with the US Department of Justice that Ă&#x2019;indigenousnessĂ&#x201C; does not supersede Ă&#x2019;common bloodĂ&#x201C; in defining Ă&#x2019;race.Ă&#x201C; Therefore he considers the Bill to be race-based and unconstitutional. He believes that Native Hawaiians do not fall under the category of a Ă&#x2019;tribeĂ&#x201C; like Native Americans or Native Alaskans. He believes the Akaka Bill would lead to the fragmentation of our state, and set a precedent for Ă&#x2019;aggrievedĂ&#x201C; minority groups on the mainland to follow; leading to the fragmentation of America as well.

awaiĂ&#x201D;iĂ&#x2022;s two U.S. Congressional Representatives were unchallenged in their September Democratic Party primaries and will face Republican and third party newcomers in the general election. In contrast to this lukewarm competition are several pieces of pending or new legislation with hot button importance in HawaiĂ&#x201D;i: Our lawmakers on Capitol Hill will continue to be at the center of an unprecedented debate on Hawaiian selfdetermination as the result of the Akaka Bill. In addition, they will be casting votes on funding a war that has made Island military bases a major center for training and deployment. Finally, as the nationĂ&#x2022;s financial crisis worsens, our Congressional delegationĂ&#x2022;s actions in areas related to health, education, transportation and human services now have huge ramifications for HawaiĂ&#x201D;iĂ&#x2022;s indigenous population, hard hit in a struggling local economy. Ka Wai Ola asked Congressional candidates to describe where they stand on these important matters:
QUESTIONS:
Q1 Q2
In addition to Federal recognition, what do you feel is the most important Federal issue facing Native Hawaiians? How would you balance the need to protect Hawaiian cultural rights and historic sites with the needs of the U. S. military?

Q1: Without federal recognition, programs synonymous with the advancement of Native Hawaiians will disappear. These programs are under attack, and currently have no legal standing other than CongressĂ&#x2022; capacity to legislate funding. I will continue to defend these programs, but Hawaiians must organize politically or the programs will disappear.
Q1: The compensation stage seems difficult, but it can only be reached if Hawaiian groups agree to choose a few spokespersons from a short list. Hence, those few experts can identify the level of compensations and return of some unused land in a fair and doable timetable in their talks.
Q1: The most important issue facing Native Hawaiians is having their representative in Washington listen to them. The only way to solve problems is to listen to each other and answer the question: What do we have to do to make it work? I will listen and work with all Hawaiians.
Q1: Protecting federal laws benefiting HawaiĂ&#x201D;i. I fought in the House against efforts to kill the Native Hawaiian Home Ownership Opportunity Act. I have successfully sought funding for the Native Hawaiian Education Program, Native Hawaiian Health Program, and the Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions program, which provides funding for UH MÂ&#x160;noa and UH-Hilo.
Q2: Protecting Hawaiian rights and U.S. military needs must be done case by case and issue by issue. This balance can be achieved by knowing what youĂ&#x2022;re talking about and being an honest broker who knows both sides. This will benefit Native Hawaiians and HawaiĂ&#x201D;i overall.
Q2: It appears that many Hawaiian sites have been respected by U.S. military in its history of presence on Hawaiian Island, as a result of negotiations and public output from time to time, or as they are announced; it would now be easier to protect Hawaiian cultural rights and historic sites in those meetings.
