ONGOING EFFORTS wITh PRIVATE/PUBLIC PARTNERShIPS S COLLECTIVE SUPPORT BY THE STATE LESIGLATURE TO ASSIST MA‘O FARMS MA‘O Organic Farms is a convergent catalyst for building healthy community, food sustainability, educational opportunities, economic development, agricultural career training, youth mentoring & leadership, and domestic food production by and for the Wai‘anae Coast and across the entire state. It is for these reasons and so many other positive impacts which they create on the westside did we as legislative leaders come together in support of their 2021 federal grant proposal earmarked for indigenous communities. In these austere times, we need to synergize the use of limited resources to achieve the greatest benefits in the most expeditious manner to reach the most needy, soonest !!

CALLING FOR ACTION on HR 113 & SR 171 TO ADDRESS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE
BURIAL SITES WORKING GROUP
The purpose of these two resolutions concurrently call for the creation of the Burial Sites Working Group to review and recommend improvements to the State Island Burial Councils. Many administrative and logistical challenges arose between the DLNR’s State Historic Preservation Division, the Island Burial Councils, and the Hawaiian community. Though a concurrent resolution did not pass, we are calling for the mandates of each chamber be considered to bring pono in handling the ‘iwi kupuna.
