message from the ceo

P ro g re s s A hea d

Aloha mai ka ¯kou,

W

hen our trustees adopted our strategic plan in 2010, they expected progress in many key areas. They understood that in many ways, Native Hawaiians lagged behind other groups in Hawai‘i. Obesity rates are higher, median income is lower and academic achievement is not quite up to par.

But we are making progress. Thanks to our many community partners and others who are working tirelessly to improve the lives of Native Hawaiians, progress is being made.

The December issue of Ka Wai Ola is typically the annual report issue.

It’s the issue that lets us analyze our progress over the past year.

This year, we are also bringing to you our progress report on the first five years of our strategic plan.

Our goals are lofty, yet we are making progress.

But our efforts stretch far beyond the measurable. Since 2010, we’ve spent tens of millions of dollars in community grants. The funding comes from our investments, our partners and the state of Hawai‘i.

This is all money that is reinvested right here. It doesn’t go to some faceless corporation. It goes to our neighbors and friends who need a little extra help.

We’ve helped boost businesses with our Mälama Loans. Many of these businesses have used our loans to expand and to create jobs.

In short, we help real people in many ways.

Take Korena from Hawai‘i Island. As lava approached her home in Pähoa, she evacuated to Kaua‘i because of health concerns. She had been urged by OHA staff in Hilo to apply for our lava aid program that provided emergency funding for those displaced by the lava flow, but could not complete all of the paperwork before she was forced to evacuate.

She showed up on Kaua‘i but was homeless. Our staff quickly figured out she could qualify for the lava aid benefit, helped her complete the paperwork and then helped her with food and transportation on Kaua‘i.

At OHA, our staff lives with traditional Hawaiian values. It isn’t something we preach as Ka Pouhana or managers; it is something that comes from the na‘au. Mahalo to Noalani on Kaua‘i and Kamuela on Hawai‘i Island, and all of our Outreach staff, for everything you do.

We will continue to strive to do what is right for our people and our lähui.

‘O au iho nö me ke aloha a me ka ‘oia‘i‘o,

Comment on the DOI rule Community input will be accepted thru December

By Ka Wai Ola Staff

A

Native Hawaiian government-to-government relationship with the U.S. could provide a platform where the lähui could be heard - as a governing body - representatives of the lähui could be taken more seriously than by an organization.

This is an option a Department of the Interior Rule proposes. The department will be accepting comments on the proposed rule until December 30, 2015.

In November, Hawaiian elections were held to select delegates to the Native Hawaiian convention, where it will be decided whether or not to create organic documents for a governing entity. The proposed federal rule provides the option to that new Hawaiian governing entity to choose or decline a governmentto-government relationship with the federal government.

Here is the DOI summary of the Rule: The Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) is proposing an administrative rule to facilitate the reestablishment of a formal government-to-government relationship with the Native Hawaiian community to more effectively implement the special political and trust relationship that Congress has established between that community and the United States. The proposed rule does not attempt to reorganize a

Native Hawaiian government or draft its constitution, nor does it dictate the form or structure of that government. Rather, the proposed rule would establish an administrative procedure and criteria that the Secretary would use if the Native Hawaiian community forms a unified government that then seeks a formal governmentto-government relationship with the United States. Consistent with the Federal policy of indigenous self-determination and Native self-governance, the Native Hawaiian community itself would determine whether and how to reorganize its government.

Supplementary information to the proposed rule can be found at doi.gov/ohr.

For the latest updates on how the rule can strengthen opportunities for the lähui and/or to show your support of the rule visit www.oha. org/DOI. ¢

Federal Court rejects bid to stop Native Hawaiian election

By Ka Wai Ola staff

V

oting for delegates for a Native Hawaiian convention was held during November after a federal court has ruled a Native Hawaiian election to elect delegates to an ‘aha may proceed as planned. U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright refused to block the Na‘i Aupuni election, saying it’s a private election not subject to public election laws.

“I’m pleased that the Federal District Court affirmed our longstanding assertion that Native Hawaiians have a right to self-determination. Judge Seabright confirmed two key facts: First, the election being held by Na‘i Aupuni is a private election not subject to the limitations that the plaintiffs contended. Second, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs plays no role in determining the nature or outcome of the election,” said Robert Klein, Board Counsel for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

“OHA is proud to have provided grant funding to Na‘i Aupuni so that Native Hawaiians can exercise their inherent right to self-determination,” said Kamana‘opono Crabbe, OHA’s Ka Pouhana and CEO. “The federal court has confirmed that Native Hawaiians have the right to bring our voices together to be heard. It’s now up to us. This is our opportunity as a community to take on the kuleana—the rights and responsibilities—to improve our lives. Native Hawaiians have the chance to engage in Na‘i Aupuni’s process to ultimately create greater well-being for our people today and for generations to come,” added Crabbe. ¢

90th Anniversary of the Ho‘olehua-Pala‘au Homesteads Celebrated

By Cheryl Corbiell

F

estive banners bearing the names of 34 Ho‘olehuaPala‘au Hawaiian Homeland families hung prominently from the ceiling at Lanikea Community Center, Ho‘olehua, Moloka‘i for the 90th Anniversary of the second homelands settlement in Hawai‘i. From Oct. 28 to 30, 2015, the Ho‘olehua Homestead Association members and guests reminisced about the perseverance, hard labor, and resilient families of the original families during the nightly paina.

An anniversary display honored Prince Jonah Kühiö Kalaniana‘ole, the congressional delegate, who zealously led an initiative to pass the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. In 1921, the initial 37 Hawaiian families were settled in Kalama‘ula, Molokaÿi. Then the homestead experiment was expanded in 1923 when 34 families were awarded 40-acre lots in Ho‘olehua-Pala‘au.

We grew taro, pumpkin, tomatoes, sweet corn, cabbage, beans, and sweet potatoes. I wouldn’t change anything about how I was raised in Ho‘olehua,” said Kawaa.

Homesteader Joseph Mawae fondly remembers hand-watering crops before any irrigation infrastructure was installed. “We made do, and manual labor was the foundation for successful farming because equipment was expensive.

Native Hawaiian Law forges path for indigenous people Kapua Sproat of UH Law School honored Internationally

By Francine Kananionapua Murray

K

apua‘ala Sproat is the recipient of the IUCN Academy of Environmental Law’s 2015 Distinguished Environmental Law Education Award in its Emerging Scholars Category.

“It’s hugely humbling and was a complete surprise,” said Sproat, an Associate Professor of the Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law at the William S. Richardson School of Law. “I’ve known about the award because the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) is the oldest world environmental network that there is. And, I was surprised when I heard Kapua Sproat that I was nominated, but I didn’t think that I would be in the running because people that win it are really important. And so, I was really shocked.”

The awards were announced at the 13th Annual Colloquium Dinner held at Atma Jaya Catholic University in Jakarta, Indonesia. Sproat was not able to attend and learned that she had won when her friends started texting congratulations to her.

Grateful for the great honor she says, “I think it’s really important. Not just for me but for the Ka Huli Ao Center, because I think it really elevates Native Hawaiian law to a whole new level in the international arena.”

The IUCN is the world authority on the environment and sustainable development and has more than 1,200 member organizations in some 185 countries. It acknowledged Sproat’s innovative Environmental Law Clinic in which free legal advice and assistance is provided to Native Hawaiian people in need, while law students assist in the clinic learning and experiencing hands-on legal work with real people.

“It’s one thing to read a book, review a case and answer the teacher’s questions in a classroom,” Sproat said. “It’s completely different to have a

for legal assistance. In turn, OHA contracted with Ka Huli Ao to assist these and other beneficiaries through its Environmental Law and Native Hawaiian Rights Clinics.

“During the initiative’s first two years, our collective efforts yielded significant direct services for OHA’s beneficiaries,” said Sproat. “Over the course of four semesters, law students enrolled in both clinics assisted 156 pro se defendants (individuals representing themselves in a court case without the assistance of an attorney) and their ‘ohana in two different cases, published E ‘Onipa‘a I Ke Külaiwi: A Legal Primer for Quiet Title and Partition Law in Hawai‘i, and facilitated thirteen workshops on the Quiet Title and Partition Process and the primer in particular. In addition, the initiative trained roughly 40 law students in these areas of law.”

IN MEMORIAM

Native Hawaiian role model lived aloha ‘a¯ina LOUIS K. “BUZZY” AGARD, JR. Feb. 25, 1924 – Oct. 28, 2015

A

lways a gentleman, Louis K. “Buzzy” Agard, Jr. never stopped advocating for Hawaiian governance and for the betterment of the native people of Hawai‘i, which he loved dearly. At the age of 91, after decades on the front lines working to shape the modern story of Hawaiians, Louis K. “Buzzy” Agard, Jr. passed away on October 28.

“Uncle Buzzy was for me and many others who came out of the Renaissance of the 1970’s an inspiration,” said OHA Chair Robert Lindsey. “He truly loved our people and our Nation. Agard was recently recognized by OHA for a lifetime of service to the Hawaiian community.

He regularly attended OHA board meetings sharing pearls of wisdom

and a lot of aloha.”

Agard began his career as a commercial fisherman in the 1940s.

In the mid-60s facing proposed land reforms at the Hawai‘i State Legislature that would have allowed the forced sale of leased lands to private owners, Agard helped form the Friends of Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate to preserve the will and wishes of the Schools’ benefactor, Bernice Pauahi Bishop.

He has served in various capacities with the Congress of the Hawaiian People formed in 1965 to uplift the Hawaiian spirit, the Aloha Association founded in 1971 to seek reparations from the U.S. government for the taking of Hawaiian lands, and the Council of Hawaiian Organizations, testifying on the merits of sovereignty at congressional hearings in Honolulu dating back to 1973.

In 2001, Agard was honored by

Louis K. “Buzzy” Agard, Jr. - Photo: Courtesy then-President Bill Clinton at the establishment of what was then the nation’s largest nature preserve – The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, which he was instrumental in creating and which is today’s Papahänaumokuäkea Marine National Monument. Since then, he served as one of three Native Hawaiian repre-

sentatives on the reserve’s Advisory Council, has served on the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council for more than a decade and, beginning in the 70s, traveled the country providing his perspective on conservation, protection and management of resources.

Agard is a former Hawaiian Homes Commissioner, a founding board member of KÄHEA—The Hawaiian Environmental Alliance, and a director and founding member of the statewide Hawai‘i Fishing Coalition begun in 1983, to develop conservation legislation.

“In his quiet, jovial, humble and parabolic way, he was sure and confident that as the first people of these islands nothing is impossible,” said Lindsey. “We just need to lökahi and find refuge in common ground issues.

I will always remember the smile in his voice, his kindred spirit and his Aloha for Hawai’i and our lähui.” ¢

Ho‘olehua-Pala‘au Continued from page 4 planted crops. Then, we went to another homesteader’s farm to work and so on. The farmers had a loan system financed by the homesteaders to purchase equipment. Once a loan was paid, then the next person could borrow money. Cooperation got the work done.” said Mawae.

State Representative Lynn Pualani DeCoite, a fourth generation Ho‘olehua homesteader, said, “The original farmer’s entire family worked hard and made what Ho‘olehua is today. Farmers need to embrace farming just as the original homesteaders did.”

“We were viewed as an investment and now are a living treasure,” said Zhantell Dudoit-Lindo, event commentator. ¢ Cheryl Corbiell is an instructor at the University of Hawai‘i Maui CollegeMoloka‘i and coordinator for TeenACE and ACE Reading programs.

OHA Strategic Plan



t took more than a village to create the Strategic Plan. In 2008, OHA Trustees Robert Lindsey, John Waihe‘e and a team of staff, who made up the planning committee, conducted research and received input from tens of thousands of Hawaiians to define the needs of the Hawaiian community. The information they gathered was used to create the 2010 OHA Strategic Plan, designed to address the greatest needs of the Hawaiian people as defined by the community.

Five years ago when OHA first launched its Strategic Plan, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs was transformed from a direct service organization into a more streamlined organization that supports and collaborates with strong community service providers through grants and advocacy efforts to better serve Hawaiian beneficiaries. This more planful approach allows OHA to focus its resources on bolstering efforts that align with strategic, defined targets.

“Our strategic plan offers much encouragement as we push for the best results for our people and ensure that our organization is being responsive to their needs,” said OHA Chairperson Robert K. Lindsey Jr. “While our progress is incomplete, it also remains significant.”

After five years, here are highlights of work to address the Strategic Priorities of health, culture and education. 

OHA Strategic Plan Results ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// By-the-numbers Mauli Ola/Health Reduce the rate of obesity among Native Hawaiians from 49.3% to 35% by 2018 • $6.1 million in health grants and served 16,200 • Approximately 7,313 Hawaiians served in chronic diease programs • 2013 about 39% prelavance rate for Native Hawaiians

Mo‘omeheu/Culture 51% of Native Hawaiians living in the State of Hawai‘i participating in cultural activities, including language, and who interact with the ‘a¯ina for cultural, spiritual, religious and subsistence • $5.2 million in cultural grants awarded since 2010

• 3,079 students participate in cultural activities in Native Hawaiian focused charter schools • OHA online resources: • PapakiloDatabase.com • KipukaDatabase.com • Mooaupuni.com • ohadatabook.com • Kamakakoi.com

Mauli Ola - Health One of the greatest threats to the health of Native Hawaiians is obesity. Being overweight greatly increases the risk for other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, cancer and more. Thus, obesity is at the top of the list of priorities to address. OHA’s goal is to reduce the rate of obesity among Native Hawaiians from 49.3% to 35% by 2018.

Walking is a simple way to begin battling obesity. - Photo: Courtesy “Although the state of Hawai‘i is one of the healthiest states in the nation, Hawaiians, in our own homeland, have the poorest health,” said Kamana‘opono Crabbe, Ph.D., OHA Ka Pouhana (CEO). “What that means for OHA is that we really have to tackle this situation. We have done that by collaborating with a number of health providers.”

Since 2010 OHA has given out over $6.1 million in grants to address health and served 16,200 Native Hawaiians. “Of that money we awarded $4 million toward decreasing chronic diseases by reducing the rate of obesity,” said Lisa Watkins-Victorino, Ph.D., OHA Research Director. “We are headed in the right direction.”

“We wanted to create a program that was tailored for Hawai‘i and the people that live here,” said Aukahi Austin, Ph.D., the Executive Director and Licensed Clinical Psychologist at I Ola Lähui. Three years ago they opened Külana Hawai‘i, a free weight management program for HMSA members and Native Hawaiians sponsored by both HMSA and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. The program provides health interventions in the area of obesity management that are culturally minded to treat a broad spectrum of Native Hawaiians with a BMI over 25%.

“We really want to help them feel that they can do it.

This program is about self-management. It is about helping a person figure out their own motivation and what they want to change and supporting them in doing it.”

“Preventive healthcare is a long term investment and I think this is the time to do it,” said Crabbe. “Native Hawaiians are more empowered to address their health and work with agencies and organizations that have the will, commitment and the support to recognize that it is a good cause to improve mauli ola, the health of Native Hawaiians.” 

Mo‘omeheu - Culture OHA has made it a priority to preserve, practice and perpetuate the Hawaiian culture. To do this we facilitate Native Hawaiians participating in cultural activities, especially as it relates to experiences that engage our lähui with the ‘äina.

“It is a primary goal for us to increase our awareness and knowledge and allow others to do the same,” Watkins-Victorino explained. “A few examples of celebrating our culture and moving this area forward are: The 3,079 students that are in our Native Hawaiian focused charter schools that we help fund. On a daily basis, they are learning about and learning to value their history and culture.

This is a part of their curriculum.”

“This is really exciting because they are going to be our adults as we more forward.”

Watkins-Victorino noted that since 2010 OHA published over 1,000 articles with a Hawaiian cultural or historical focus in Ka Wai Ola, which reaches over 60,000 subscribers monthly. Another way we present our history and culture is through the OHA databases: PapakiloDatabase. com, KipukaDatabase.com, ohadatabook.com, Mooaupuni.com, and Kamakakoi.com. “With nearly 80,000 visits we know we have got people coming, looking and learning at these websites.”

OHA has supported both large-scale culture grants to well established organizations as well as smaller grants tailored to focused audiences. For instance, OHA helped with supporting the ceremonial opening and closing of the Makahiki held at Hälawa Prison twice a year for the past three years. “When the pa‘ahao (inmates) reconnect with their cultural identity, and what it means to ho‘okanaka, they find the strength to make better decisions on a daily basis not just for them, but mostly for their families waiting for them on the outside, as sons, fathers and brothers,” said Kai Markell, OHA Compliance Enforcement Manager. “They hold their heads high, and seek forgiveness, redemption and new beginnings.”

It took years of advocacy and litigation by the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation and OHA, who partnered with the Pacific Justice and Reconciliation Center and the Native Hawaiian Church to bring the ceremonial Makahiki to Hälawa. It has been such a positive influence that the program has expanded to the Waiawa Correctional Facility, starting their inaugural program this year.

“I am finally getting ready to be released. I’m scared of how much has changed since I’ve been locked up for over twenty-years,” Markell recalls one pa‘ahao telling him after one of the ceremonies. “I don’t know if I can make it, but I have never felt so proud to be Hawaiian, and so proud to feel my ancestors all around me, helping me, encouraging me, and loving me no matter how messed up I was. I wish we could celebrate with Lonoikamakahiki and peace all year around.” 

By-the-numbers Ho‘ona‘auao/Education Increase % of Native Hawaiian students who meet or exceeding reading standards from 55% to 65%and math standards from 32% to 45% • 2014: Reading up to 61% • 2014: Math up to 48% • $8,4 million in grants since 2010

• Approximately 3,466 students served

Increase % of Native Hawaiians who graduate from post secondary institutions by 2018 • 2009: baseline 1,209 degrees earned • 2014: 2,285 degrees earned • $8.3 million since 2010

Ho‘ona‘auao - Education “Since 2010 we’ve awarded $22.9 million toward education via grants, annual commitments, sponsorships, and events,” said Watkins-Victorino. “Approximately 16,195 Native Hawaiians have been served by these funding sources.”

The Boys & Girls Club of Maui’s Power Hour Program provides keiki with a safe environment to study and do their homework. - Photo: Courtesy Boys & Girls Club of Maui Of the $22.9 million given, $14 million went to increase the reading and math test scores as well as other educational projects for students in K through 12, and $8.3 million went to increase the number of Native Hawaiian students who earn post-secondary degrees or certificates in the UH system.

OHA has also made positive inroads at the younger end of the spectrum. “Children are our main priority.” Says Kelly Pearson, Chief Executive Officer of the Boys & Girls Club of Maui. OHA has awarded grants for multiple years to the Boys & Girls Club of Maui for its Power Hour Program, an after-school program that provides youth ages 6 to 12, in the Paukükalo Hawaiian Homestead community a safe and nurturing environment to develop good study habits.

In the Power Hour students complete their homework assignments under the supervision of both English and fluent Hawaiian speaking staff, with the goal of improving Native Hawaiian student proficiency in reading and math so that they can increase standardized test scores.

“We are giving young people hope and opportunity,” said Pearson. “That’s important.”

Endangered Hawaiian Petrels moved Ten downy endangered Hawaiian Petrel chicks were flown to a new colony protected by a predatorproof fence at the Kïlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge on Kaua‘i.

In the early morning on Nov. 2, two teams were dropped by helicopter onto mountain peaks within the Nä Pali-Kona Forest Reserve, managed by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources. The teams headed to ten nest burrows, which each contained a large healthy chick. The chicks were transported by helicopter to Princeville and then relocated to their new home.

“This translocation will establish a new, predator-free colony of the endangered Hawaiian Petrel to help prevent the extirpation of the species from Kaua‘i,” said Michael Mitchell, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Acting Kaua‘i National Wildlife Refuge Complex Project Leader. “Translocating the birds to Kïlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge ensures that this colony of birds will be protected for our children and our children’s children.”

Making Ethical Decisions … A Decision Tree

R

(To answer, weigh the effect on customers, employees, the community, the environment, and suppliers against the benefit to the shareholders.)

YES Do it.

Would it be ethical not to take the action?

(To answer, weigh the harm or cost that would be imposed on shareholders against the costs or benefits to other shareholders.)

NO Don’t do it.

YES Don’t do it.

A decision tree. - Gardner and Constance Bagley, Harvard Business School bridge, Massachusetts says that it is now, more than ever, that business leaders need to repair relations with customers and employees by stepping up to the ethical plate. Gardner is an influential cognitive and educational psychologist. But as a psychologist, he believes that his first responsibility is to understand how moral and ethical capacities develop, or fail to develop.

Professor Gardner has spent many years studying the relationship between psychology and ethics at Harvard. In this article, Gardner talks about what he calls the ethical mind, which helps individuals aspire to do good work that matters to their colleagues and society in general.

In an era when workers are overwhelmed by too much information and feel pressured to win at all costs, Gardner believes, it’s easy to lose one’s way. What’s more, employees look to leaders for cues as to what’s appropriate and what’s not. So if you’re a leader, what’s the best way to stand up to ethical pressures and set a good example?

First and foremost, says Gardner, you must believe that retaining an ethical compass is essential to the health of your organization.

State your ethical beliefs and stick to them.

Test yourself rigorously to make sure you’re adhering to your values, take time to reflect on your beliefs, find multiple mentors who aren’t afraid to speak truth to your power, and confront others’ egregious behavior as soon as it arises.

Is it ethical?

ke¯ke¯mapa2015

NO Do it but disclose the effect of the action to shareholders.

Since 1995, he and teams of investigators have been researching the ways in which people aspire to do “good work”—that is, work of high quality that matters to society, enhances the lives of others, and is conducted in an ethical manner. The researchers have also observed ways in which ‘good’ work is eroded by cultural, economic, and technological forces. (For more on this long-term project, go to www.goodworkproject.com.) Gardner and Constance Bagley, Harvard Business School professor, offer their thoughts about what leaders must do to develop and maintain high standards for themselves and their organizations. They suggest using a decision tree to help with ethical decisions. –Harvard Business Review, March 2007.

A decision tree is a graph of decisions and their possible consequences. It is used to create a plan to reach a goal. When confronted with a decision, a leader should ask the following questions: 1) Is the proposed action legal? 2) If “yes”, does the proposed action maximize our beneficiaries’ value? 3) If ‘yes’, is the proposed action ethical? 4) If “no”, would it be ethical NOT to take the proposed action? There are NO Absolute Ethical Answers for management decision makers. Leaders should rely on moral principles so that their decisions are Principled, Appropriate, and Defensive.

“Ho‘oulu Lāhui Aloha” - To Raise a Beloved Nation. OHA’s vision statement blends the thoughts and leadership of both King Kalākaua, and his sister, Queen Lili‘uokalani. Both faced tumultuous times as we do today, and met their challenges head on. “Ho‘oulu Lāhui” was King Kalākaua’s motto. “Aloha” expresses the high values of Queen Lili‘uokalani.

:6@@6<; @A.A2:2;A

To mālama (protect) Hawai‘i’s people and environmental resources and OHA’s assets, toward ensuring the perpetuation of the culture, the enhancement of lifestyle and the protection of entitlements of Native Hawaiians, while enabling the building of a strong and healthy Hawaiian people and nation, recognized nationally and internationally.

<C2?C62D

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is a public agency with a high degree of autonomy. OHA is responsible for improving the well-being of Native Hawaiians.

OHA is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of nine members who are elected statewide for four-year terms to set policy for the agency.

OHA is administered by a Ka Pouhana (Chief Executive Officer) who is appointed by the Board of Trustees to oversee a staff of about 170 people.

OHA Report Card

Our Hawaiian ancestors understood that the well-being of our community rested upon the inter-relationship of how we conduct ourselves, steward the islands we call home, and fulfill the responsibility of caring for our families, all within the physical and spiritual realms. They also understood that successfully maintaining lōkahi meant careful observation, knowledge gathering, and informed decision making to achieve pono. OHA is striving to embrace this time-tested wisdom through our Strategic Plan.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION DREAM COMES TRUE WHEN A CHILD ENTERS KINDERGARTEN, they must be ready to learn. But for many, access to affordable childhood education can be only a dream. Enter Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ilani Corr-Yorkman, the executive director of the Ha-loalaunuia-kea Early Learning Center. She opened her center to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;culturally based to be able to not only teach Hawaiian values and traditions, but also kindergarten readiness.â&#x20AC;?

The former teacher in the Department of Education wanted the center to be affordable for parents but to also ensure students were ready to learn.

So she turned to OHA to get a MÄ lama Loan. Since 2013, two classes of children have graduated, and she reports the children are doing well in school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in one case, a child was immediately promoted from kindergarten to the first grade.

HELPING HAWAIIANS GET HOUSING â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never chose to be homeless,â&#x20AC;? said Jewlynn Keli, a Native Hawaiian mother of four. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like my mom and dad, I worked hard and thought that would get me by.â&#x20AC;? But then she had to quit her job to take care of her husband and the couple moved to Tennessee.

When they returned they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find affordable housing. Keli turned to Hawaii Community Assets. Funded in part by OHA, HCA has made it a priority to respond to the surge in homelessness by assisting low income Hawaiians who have been affected by the crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We empower them to use their own cultural knowledge of traditional resource management. This becomes their blueprint for wise money management they can use to realize their goals of returning to permanent housing,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Gilbreath, HCA executive director.

Keli credits HCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs for helping achieve her goal of stable housing for her family.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL MISTY MORNING in Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;eia and Kanekoa Kukea-Schultz looks over acres of taro land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk about food security, this is it,â&#x20AC;? Kukea-Schultz says.

Kukea-Schultz is the executive director of the non-profit KÄ koâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;o â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ĺ&#x152;iwi, a 405-acre plot of land that is the site of what just might become a pivotal part of the future of a sustainable Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i.

In a project funded in part by OHA, the organization hopes to convert the land to cultivate taro and vegetables and to raise livestock.

The hope of KÄ koâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;o â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ĺ&#x152;iwi is that as the land is restored with native intelligence, native species such as the endangered Hawaiian stilt, or aeâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;o, will return to live in a symbiotic relationship within the moku: from the loâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i, to the kalo, to the aeâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;o and finally the kanaka.

REGISTERING NATIVE HAWAIIANS THE HAWAIIAN REGISTRY PROGRAM helped register roughly 400 Native Hawaiians in the months of September and October 2015. The names of Native Hawaiians who signed-up (and did not opt-out) with the Hawaiian Registry Program were transferred to the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission. These Native Hawaiians are eligible to vote in the election of convention delegates for Native Hawaiian nation-building. The deadline to register was Oct. 15 and voting began Nov. 1, 2015.

A COMMISSIONED STUDY ADVOCACY COMMISSIONED A STUDY on the international law and policy relating to the situation of the Native Hawaiian people. Law Professors James Anaya and Robert Williams wrote the report for the study that concluded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a government-to-government relationship of the type contemplated by the proposed federal rule would in all likelihood strengthen, and would almost certainly not impede, the ability of the Native Hawaiian people to utilize international law and politics to advocate for improved conditions and for a future where Hawaiiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land and society better reflect the values of its first people.â&#x20AC;?

In FY 2015, OHA awarded $10.3 million to programs across the state that are as diverse as the community needs they serve.

The difference between the amount listed on this page and grant budget expenditures is primarily due to timing of grant payments.
