OHA Trustees Talk Nation Building

A

standing-room-only crowd gathered at Kulana Oiwi on Wednesday evening, as Trustees from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) gathered concerns and highlighted efforts to improve conditions within Hawaiian communities.

During the meeting, the Board of Trustees heard testimony relating to community concerns, beneficiary achievements, Hawaiian Home Lands and issues relating to federal recognition of Native Hawaiians.

Government-toGovernment Relationship?

In response to requests from the Native Hawaiian community, the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) announced last week that it is moving forward on a rule-making process for re-establishing a government-to-government relationship with Native Hawaiians.

“The vision of the OHA is to rebuild and establish a beloved Native Hawaiian nation that is recognized nationally and internationally,” said OHA CEO Kamana`opono Crabbe. “The federal government is considering to move forward with a process that opens up a pathway for Native Hawaiians if we so chose for federal recognition. It’s historic because this is the first time the federal government is formally recognizing the political status that Native Hawaiians have with the U.S.” Soon after the DOI announced its plans, OHA officials issued statements

Immersing Students in Language and Culture

f you visited Ali`i Fishpond last week, you would have found a group of students twisting ti leaf lei using their toes as anchors, speaking to each other quietly in `Olelo Hawaii under the branches of a hala tree. Meanwhile, another group of students learned lomi massage techniques, while seated beneath the shade of the hale overlooking the fishpond, giving each other treatments.

This was the third annual Kula Kaiapuni Kauwela summer school, a Hawaiian immersion program for one month in June and July. This year, for the first time, students spent one week at Ali`i Fishpond as part of the program.

“We don’t want it to be summer school,’” said Loke Han, a Kualapu`u School teacher and this year’s program director. “We just got out of school. We want it to be more hands-on learning.”

In past years, the camp has been more academically focused, she said, held exclusively in a classroom setting at Kualapu`u School, with occasional field trips.

“We really wanted to get outside to do things like learning… lomi lomi, lei-making and art,” she said.

And that’s exactly what this year’s program has offered for one out of its four weeks. Organizers were able to partner

with nonprofit Ka Honua Momona (KHM) to hold the camp for five days at Ali`i Fishpond, where kids have been pulling mangrove, pounding poi, fishing and engaging in other hands-on learning outdoors.

“I love having them over here – it’s something really good for our fishpond,” said kupuna Mervin Dudoit, who works at the fishpond with KHM. “It’s important for them to get involved so they can teach their parents. I love looking at these kids – I feel so good when I see them.”

For seventh grade attendee La`a Paleka, she said the camp refreshed her memory of the Hawaiian language.

“It helped me to not forget Hawaiian in the summer,” she said. “This week, I learned about connecting with the land.”

All instruction is in Hawaiian, and though more than half of the camp attendees are Hawaiian immersion students, some jump in knowing very little of the language.

Fourth grader and second-year participant Kirakai Yamazaki-Gray said she knew only a few words from learning hula.

“Last year I was really scared to come because I wasn’t comfortable [with the language],” she said. “Now I know more Hawaiian…. [The camp] is really fun. You have to be aloha and be happy here.”

“Kalaupapa Settlement is thrilled to continue in the Makani Kai ohana and look forward to four more years of excellent on time service as we have enjoyed for the past two years,” said Mark Miller, the Department of Health Kalaupapa administrator.

“When I applied for the internship, I thought reconnecting with our Pacific cousins – spending four weeks on Molokai, the old Hawaii – would be awesome,” said Te Kanawa. “I’m learning a lot from the kids – ‘I’ll share with you and you share with me.’”

For some students, learning the Maori culture has been the most memorable.

“My favorite part is learning the songs and dances [Maori and Tahitian],” said camp attendee Kekai English, grade six.

New Health Director Vows to Serve Kalaupapa

By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

F

or the first time as the state’s new Department of Health (DOH) Director, Dr. Linda Rosen visited the Kalaupapa settlement last week and was warmly welcomed by residents.

“I want to tell you all how delighted I am to be here, what a privilege it is to be the director, especially because of the special role that the director plays for the community of Kalaupapa,” Rosen told patients and employees at a community meeting in the settlement.

“I’m very lucky that the governor appointed me. I… thank [Kalaupapa] for welcoming me so graciously. I look forward to helping in any way that I can.”

Rosen was appointed by Gov. Neil Abercrombie in February to fill a vacancy created by the death of former director Loretta Fuddy in a plane crash off Kalaupapa last December. When the governor’s term ends in one year, Rosen, a political appointee, may be reappointed for a longer term of service.

“Linda has more than 30 years of experience in the medical field and has held administrative positions for more than a decade,” Abercrombie said in February. “Drawing from existing leadership within the Health Department, I have full confidence that Linda will continue the significant progress realized under late Director Loretta Fuddy for the remainder of her term.”

Rosen is not a new face to Kalaupapa residents. Working with the DOH since 2000, she served as the deputy director for Health Resources Administration from 2005 to 2007 and handled various issues in Kalaupapa, visiting the settlement on a number of occasions.

“During that time I learned a lot about the community, I met many of the patients, and I really cherish that time,” Rosen said. “I’m very thrilled to be back.”

She resigned from that position and soon after became the DOH chief of the Emergency Medical Services and Injury Prevention System Branch.

In this position she was responsible

for administering a comprehensive emergency medical services system, including 911 ambulance services, trauma system development and community injury prevention.

Rosen’s experience is vast. She has worked as a pediatrician in the emergency and critical care and neonatology departments at the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children from 1985 to 2000. Additionally, she has been a faculty member of the John A. Burns School of Medicine since 1987, as assistant and associate professor of pediatrics.

She said she plans to work for Kalaupapa patients as long as she holds her new position.

“It’s sad that some of the patients that I knew have since passed but my goal is to do my best for the ones that are still here and also for the legacy,” Rosen said. “I’ll do my best in this year, and if given the opportunity to go on longer, then that’s just more time for me to work on the issues that are important to the patients.”

As director, Rosen said she will make sure there are government officials in the legislature that understand the DOH’s obligation to Kalaupapa.

She added she urges state employees and administrators to be open and transparent with her to achieve this goal.

“It’s a very unusual place to work because the community is so isolated and the boundaries between employees and patients are more vague I believe here because it is a community where everybody lives together 24/7 and so much time is spent together,” Rosen said. “That is a very unique situation that provides some unique challenges but I think also some benefits.”

Rosen will visit Molokai topside for the day on July 30 to meet with DOH workers, Molokai General Hospital staff and other healthcare providers.

oha Continued From pg. 1 commending the move.

“We commend this initial effort by the Obama Administration to engage our people in a discussion about reestablishing a government-to-government relationship with the U. S.,” said Colette Machado, OHA chairperson and Molokai resident. “This effort is an important step toward ensuring that millions of dollars for Native Hawaiian education, health and other programs will continue to flow to our people and that our Hawaiian trusts and programs will be protected from further legal challenges.”

On May 5, Crabbe sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry seeking a legal opinion on whether the Hawaiian Kingdom, overthrown in 1893, still exists, and if so, what does that mean for OHA and its efforts to rebuild a Hawaiian nation?

The Board of Trustees later rescinded the letter, saying it did not reflect board policy.

In OHA’s Ka Wai Ola publication, an article titled “One Voice, One Path” stated Crabbe said the board needs to work together moving in the future.

“Moving forward, what I agreed to and we had clear understanding and expectations laid out, that something as great as the letter I had written, I now understand will need input of Chair and the trustees,” Crabbe said. “We need to work together to address these issues as the leaders of OHA.” The DOI will engage in a series of public meetings throughout Hawaii to solicit comments on whether and how the process of reestablishing a government-to-government relationship should move forward. Molokai’s public meeting will be held on Saturday, June 28 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Kaunakakai Elementary School.

Blood Quantum Questions In 1921, the federal Hawaiian Homes Commission Act (HHCA) set aside approximately five percent of Hawaii land for Hawaiians satisfying a 50 percent blood quantum.

“Fifty percenters are dying out so what happens to those properties if we don’t take action to change that,” asked Oswald Stender, OHA vice chairperson.

“Is [HHCA] taking a position to change the blood quantum rate?”

The HHCA isn’t entertaining any idea of lowering the blood quantum because there are 26,000 individuals currently on the waiting list for land, said Jeremy Kama Hopkins, OHA commissioner. Hopkins said the HHCA estimates that for every one person on the waiting list, there are three others not registered on the waiting list.

“There is a smaller portion of people that are trying to lobby the DOI to change the rule in the HHCA to not nec-

essarily lower the application quantum of 50 percent, but to lower the successorship amount so that once your family gets the lease you can hold on to it for as long as you can afford it,” Hopkins said.

Throughout homesteader communities, there have been a number of people coming together to address the 25 percent blood quantum requirement on successorship, said Gene Ross Davis, a third generation beneficiary and Hawaiian Homes Commissioner from Molokai.

“In our attempt to address the concern as beneficiaries, we are beginning a process of unifying ourselves in the community specifically towards addressing successorship,” Ross Davis said Ross Davis said he believes proper funding of the DHHL will put people on homestead land in a timely manner and shorten the waitlist.

“If there’s proper channeling of funding to drive this mission, there would be no reason for why we can’t put people on the home land at 50 percent blood quantum,” he said. “When you accomplish that, you can lower it to 40 percent. All the while, you can lower successorship; erase successorship. That’s your perpetuity, it’s perpetual, and it’s forever.”

Status of OHA Initiatives Updates were shared on bills introduced at the federal level and the continued efforts to move forward with advocating for Native Hawaiian rights.

Kawika Riley, ‎OHA chief advocate, said that the board advocated successfully for the passage of two bills in the 2014 legislative package.

The first bill, HB 1618/SB 2105, will add a requirement that at least one member of the state Board of Land and Natural Resources have an expertise in Native Hawaiian traditional and customary practices. Before this bill became law, there was no requirement that any member of the board have that expertise, even though they were making environmental decisions that affected Native Hawaiians significantly, Riley said.

The other measure, HB 1616/SB 2103 made through the Hawaii State Planning Act, ensures the State Planning Act focuses on creating policies, interventions, programs and funding targeted at eliminating health disparities that affect Native Hawaiians.

“While Hawaii as a state has some of the best health statistics out of any of the 50 states, here on our home land, we as the first people, are at the bottom of so many of these indicators,” Riley said.

“Much of that we believe through research is because of social determinants of health.”

OHA officers updated Molokai residents on building projects on Oahu, including plans to create a cultural place where the public can celebrate and perpetuate Hawaiian culture and would build residences, businesses and recreational opportunities at Kaka`ako.

makani kai Continued From pg. 1 renewal to continue serving the settlement last year. Mokulele Airlines and two mainland companies also applied.

The EAS is a federal subsidy that ensures rural communities throughout the U.S. receive adequate air service.

Airlines are selected through an application process that examines factors like requested funding, flight schedules and community input.

Makani Kai will continue the current service of 12 non-stop round trips a week to Honolulu and 18 round trips a week to Ho`olehua with a nine-seat Cessna Grand Caravan under a DOT contract from June 1, 2014, through May 31, 2018.

“The local people have spoken,” said Richard Schuman, owner of Makani Kai Air. “Our focus since day one has been on making air travel affordable for the people of Kalaupapa.

We set the service level bar so high, no other airplane / airline company could compete. But don’t take my word for it, ask the residents of Kalaupapa.”

The Kalaupapa community had expressed vocal support of Makani Kai’s EAS renewal.

“Announcement of the award of EAS service to Makani Kai Air for the next four years was met with people driving around the settlement, beeping their horns and shouting out the good news,” said Miller. “Everyone is in a joyous state of celebration honoring and celebrating our friends at Makani Kai and uninterrupted service everyone in and visiting Kalaupapa loves.

We look forward to continuing our positive and ‘ohana’ relationship with

Makani Kai.” Many of the letters from the community focused on the airline’s strong customer service standards, explaining that the air carrier often goes “above and beyond the call of duty” for its passengers.

“Looking at the totality of the circumstances, given Makani Kai’s reliability at Kalaupapa, the uniqueness of the situation of the community’s air service needs, and the strong support of Kalaupapa’s community officials and users of the service, the Department selects Makani Kai to serve Kalaupapa for a four-year term,” said Susan Kurland, assistant secretary for the DOT’s Aviation and International Affairs. “Additionally, we find that both Makani Kai’s service and subsidy levels are reasonable.”

The four-year subsidized service by Makani Kai will begin at a rate of $751,040 in the first year; and $730,848 in the second year. The third year subsidy rate will be $710,656, and the fourth year subsidy rate will be $690,463, according to the airline’s DOT application.

Airfares will remain at $72.50 between Kalaupapa and Honolulu and $42.50 between the Kalaupapa and Ho`olehua.

“Everything we’ve done, every aspect of my company, we not only do the best job humanly possible but we exceed passenger expectations,” Schuman said. “We, my company and all my employees, are extremely thankful. We have a lot of gratitude for the decision the DOT made and we have a lot of aloha for the people of Kalaupapa.”

Student Named HMSA Distinguished Scholar

olokai High School graduate Xrystina Bicoy was selected by the Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA) as one of 21 students in the state to receive the company’s Kaimana Scholarship, as well as one of five recipients of their Distinguished Scholarship.

“This is for students who do well academically, as well as show great sportsmanship in athletics and service to their community,” said Molokai High Vice Principal Daniel Espaniola.

“We’re very proud of Xristina’s accomplishments.”

The Kaimana program started in 2005 and recognizes all-around accomplishments of high schools, and offers scholarships to individual student athletes, administered by the Hawaii High School Athletic Association.

Bicoy received a $3,000 scholarship, and was one of five named distinguished scholars to receive an addi-

Early in the morning of May 20, a moped driver saw Waits’ motionless body lying in a dirt roadway along Kamehameha Highway around mile marker 15. Police reported a suspicious head injury.

Campbell-Kowardy, a Hawaii Island resident, said she did not know her son had died until the following day.

“I… did not learn of Koshari's death until Wednesday afternoon, May 21, from a TV news reporter who called my in-laws,” she said, via email. “When I called the Molokai Police, I was told that as a policy they cannot give information out over the phone so it was hours before I was able to get in touch with Koshari's sister-in-law, who confirmed his death.”

For Campbell-Kowardy, it was just the beginning of a long wait in search of answers.

On May 23, a Molokai man was arrested in connection with the murder investigation, but was released the following day.

Police have said very little about the investigation since then.

KITV reported last week that Maui investigators released that Waits suffered a single gunshot to the back of his head.

However, a spokesperson for the

tional $2,000 each.

“The students and the schools we’re honoring today understand the value of giving back to our communities,” said Elisa Yadao, HMSA’s senior vice president of Consumer Experience. “In addition to the countless hours they worked to excel academically and athletically, they all made time to make a difference and give back. These are young people making positive change in the world and we want to do whatever we can to help them because that’s the best way to create healthy, vibrant communities.”

Maui Police Department said simply that the investigation is ongoing and did not “have any further information at this time.”

Campbell-Kowardy said the lead investigator has been on vacation “so it has been hard to get anyone on the phone to speak to me.”

She said she talked to a detective on Maui who was able to answer some of her questions, but she was recently informed that the evidence is “sitting on Maui awaiting the request from the Honolulu Police Department’s forensic lab.”

“It is very difficult to have to wait indefinitely with no answers as to when this evidence will be analyzed,” she said.

On June 5 at Ierosalema Hou church in Halawa, family and friends celebrated the life of the son, brother, grandson, uncle and cousin they had lost. They offered flowers to the ocean that he loved so much, with Waits’ younger brother paddling Koshari’s surfboard into the bay.

Pu`u O Hoku Ranch is holding a keiki surf clinic in Halawa in Waits’ honor on July 2.

In the meantime, his family is left with only questions.

“I am praying that everyone involved in the investigation has run this like they were investigating the death of their own child,” said CampbellKowardy.

UHMCM News Release Planning and preparing to attend college after high school can be challenging; however, there are very clear rewards for students who plan early and work hard towards achieving their goals while still in high school. It also takes a great amount of support from the ohana to help these students along the way. To prepare Molokai families for the transition to college, UH Maui College, Molokai (UHMCM), the Queen Liliuokalani Children’s Center and the Educational Opportunity Center partnered up again to offer a second year of Ke Kukui Mohala.

The program included one workshop per month for students and their parents that focused on different college and career readiness topics. Participants were also given the opportunity to travel to Oahu to attend the Hawaii Career and College Fair and various campus tours.

The families who completed the program earned practical skills and knowledge

Vote ‘We the People’

By Barbara Haliniak Early in my career at the phone company, I learned that any time one came across a problem, it was standard to identify the problem and offer solutions to the problem. Based upon this, on May 21 I filed nomination papers for State House District 13 seat, currently occupied by Mele Carroll.

After I filed nomination papers, a bunch of questionnaires from various organizations were sent to me soliciting responses for possible endorsements. Although, I responded to two organization questionnaires, I did not get their endorsements. It was OK, I needed to be true to who I am and not some organization’s voice. From that moment on, I decided not to seek any endorsements or campaign

contributions at all and just do genuine grass roots campaigning with what little campaign funds I have.

Lots of people will disagree with me for not getting endorsements, because endorsements can help to secure votes. However, I am running to represent the people in our district and not be encumbered by some organization that will have its own agenda. My agenda is you folks in District 13, “We the people.”

I hear a lot of talk about Molokai being at the bottom of the barrel for state-funded projects and it is often reported in the media that the unemployment numbers are the highest in the state, gasoline prices are outrageous and transportation is challenged whether it’s air or barge service.

I’ve been told our legislative represen-

tatives have brought Capital Improvement Project funds to Molokai. That’s their job to get funding for Molokai. But what have they done about our other needs? The need for small businesses to be sustainable to provide much needed jobs, the need to ensure that our kupunas have ample care, the need to have our schools maintained, the need to have reasonable cost of goods, the need to control cost of living.

Let’s look at the big picture; we are currently being represented by people who do not live here. Wonder why we hardly see or hear from them? It’s the numbers game. In 2012 there were 30,855 registered voters in Senate District 7 (English), of which Maui commanded a total of 25,181.

In House District 13 (Carroll) there were 14,940 registered voters of which 9,219

come from Maui, 4,014 from Molokai and 1,660 from Lanai. It’s plain to see why both legislative representatives count heavily on Maui votes. But let’s not have the numbers dictate whether we should vote or not.

In District 13 2012 elections, Maui voters were only 18 percent, Molokai 26 percent and Lanai 20 percent. Do we have a chance to get a House seat? Absolutely!

We must pull together and vote in the primary on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014. Only you can make the difference by exercising your right to vote “We the people” and encouraging your family and friends to do the same.

jokes. Or perhaps you will stumble upon reasons to laugh longer and harder and louder than you ever have before.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Would you like to be free from the experience of getting criticized? Do you think it might be nice if no one ever accused you of being wrong or off-track?

If so, here's how you should proceed, says American writer Elbert Hubbard: "Do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." But I'm afraid I can't recommend that behavior for you, Libra. In the coming weeks, you have a sacred duty to your Future Self to risk being controversial. I urge you to take strong stands, speak raw truths, and show your real feelings. Yes, you may attract flack. You might disturb the peace. But that will be an acceptable price to pay for the rewards you receive. This is one time when being courageous is more important than seeking harmony.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to an astrologer named Astrolocherry (astrolocherry.tumblr.com), Aries is the sign of the freedom fighter, the explorer, the daredevil, and the adventurer. That's all true; I agree with her. But here's an important caveat. As you get older, it's your duty to harness all that hot energy on behalf of the softer, slower, more tender parts of your life. The coming weeks will offer you a great opportunity to work on that challenge. To get started, imagine how you can be a freedom fighter, explorer, daredevil, and adventurer in service to your home, family, and community. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Be respectful to your superiTAURUS (April 20-May 20): After a thorough, detailed, ors, if you have any," said writer Mark Twain. How do you repainstaking analysis of the astrological omens, I'm inclined to spond to that impish nudge, Scorpio? Are there any geniuses advise you to be neither thorough nor detailed nor painstak- and heroes out there whom you consider to be worthy of your ing in the coming days. Instead, I suspect you will thrive by respect? If not, I urge you to go out in search of some. At this being spontaneous and improvisatory. Wing it, baby! Throw phase of your evolution, you are in special need of people away the script. Trust your gut. Play it by ear. Make it up as you who inspire you with their greatness. It's crucial for you to go along. If you find yourself frowning with indecision and learn from teachers and role models who are further along beset by lazy procrastination, you will know you're off course. than you are in their mastery of the game of life. I also believe If you are feeling blithe and agile as you get a lot done with it would be healing for you to feel waves of admiration and creative efficiency, you will know you're right in the groove. reverence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Everyone has something to hide," declared Russian author Anton Chekhov. Is that true? Do even you blunt Sagittarians have something to hide? I'm going to say that for 90 percent of you, the answer is yes. There are secrets you don't want anyone to find out about: past events you are reluctant to disclose or shady deeds you are getting away with now or taboo thoughts you want to keep sealed away from public knowledge. I'm not here to scold you about them or to encourage you to spill them. On the contrary, I say it's time to bring them fully into your conscious awareness, to honor their importance to your life story, and to acknowledge their power to captivate your CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you could harness the en- imagination. ergy from a typical lightning bolt, you would be able to use it to toast 100,000 slices of bread.

You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when it's crucial to make conscientious use of your tools and riches. To let them go to waste would be to dishonor them, and make it less likely that you will continue to receive their blessings in the future. Take full advantage of what's yours.

Feds Consider Government- OED Grants Available to-Government Relationship Kuha`o Business Center News Release

Dept. of Interior News Release In response to requests from the Native Hawaiian community, Hawaii’s congressional delegation and state leaders, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced last week a first step to consider reestablishing a government-to-government relationship between the U.S. and the Native Hawaiian community.

The purpose of such a relationship would be to more effectively implement the special political and trust relationship that currently exists between the Federal government and the Native Hawaiian community. Last week’s action, known as an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), provides for an extensive series of public meetings and consultations in Hawaii and Indian Country to solicit comments that could help determine whether the Department develops a formal, administrative procedure for reestablishing an official government-to-government relationship with the Native Hawaiian community and if so, what that procedure should be.

The Molokai meeting is scheduled for Saturday, June 28 from 1 to 4:00 p.m. at Kaunakakai Elementary School.

Over many decades, Congress has enacted more than 150 statutes that specifically recognize and implement this trust relationship with the Native Hawaiian community, including the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, the Native Hawaiian Education Act, and the Native Hawaiian Health Care Act. The Native Hawaiian community, however, has not had a formal governing entity since the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893. In 1993, Congress enacted the Apology Resolution which offered an apology to Native Hawaiians on behalf of the United States for its role in the overthrow and committed the

U.S. government to a process of reconciliation. In 2000, the Department of the Interior and the Department of Justice jointly issued a report on the reconciliation process that identified self-determination for Native Hawaiians under Federal law as their leading recommendation.

The ANPRM outlines the following five threshold questions that will be the subject of the forthcoming public meetings regarding whether the federal government should reestablish a government-to-government relationship with the Native Hawaiian community: (i) Should the Secretary propose an administrative rule that would facilitate the reestablishment of a government-togovernment relationship with the Native Hawaiian community? (ii) Should the Secretary assist the Native Hawaiian community in reorganizing its government, with which the U.S. could reestablish a government-to-government relationship? (iii) If so, what process should be established for drafting and ratifying a reorganized Native Hawaiian government’s constitution or other governing document? (iv) Should the Secretary instead rely on the reorganization of a Native Hawaiian government through a process established by the Native Hawaiian community and facilitated by the State of Hawaii, to the extent such a process is consistent with Federal law? (v) If so, what conditions should the Secretary establish as prerequisites to Federal acknowledgment of a government-togovernment relationship with the reorganized Native Hawaiian government?

The Department will hold a series of public meetings throughout the State of Hawaii to gather feedback.

VA Benefits Workshop Department of Veterans Affairs News Release On July 12, the Department of Veterans Affairs will host a workshop on VA Benefits at Hale Mahaolu Home Pumehana from 9 a.m. to noon. All veterans, family members, widows and community provid-

ers are welcome to attend. The workshop will cover VA Benefits, loan guaranty, vocational rehabilitation and employment and death benefits. For more information please contact the VA Honolulu Regional Office at 1-800-827-1000 or email pctc.vbahon@va.gov.

Molokai Lomi Treatments Ho`omana Spa Maui News Release Molokai residents will have an opportunity for healing through lomi lomi massage June 27 and 28, when a group of licensed therapists will be offering free treatments on island.

Ho’omana Spa Maui in Upcountry Maui is sponsoring 15 therapists led by Jeana Iwalani Naluai, Spa Owner and International Instructor of Lomi Lomi Massage and Hawaiian Spiritual Teachings to Molokai.

The Ho`omana team of licensed therapists and lomi lomi apprentices will be offering more than 125 hours of free Hawaiian massage treatments to local residents and Molokai kupuna.

This is a dream come true that began more than two years ago when Justin Kekiwi, a student raised in Molokai, was awarded Ho`omana Spa Maui’s Native Hawaiian Scholarship to attend their year-long training to obtain his Hawaii massage license.

One of the rich aspects of the lomi lomi apprenticeship program is community outreach with a vision of returning the practice, as it was in ancient times, of having a healer in every home. Inspired by this teaching, Kekiwi jumped on the opportunity to give back to his Molokai `ohana.

Over the last few months, thera-

pists were able to fundraise for this outreach by running a Lomi-thon. “We got local businesses and community members on Maui to pledge donations to have our staff go into Waiehu and Paukukalo Hawaiian Homes and offer community lomi lomi,” said Naluai. “It was such a blessing to share aloha with our Hawaiian community on Maui and be given a double blessing of receiving the funds we needed to do the same for our Molokai brothers and sisters.”

Ho`omana’s team will be offering free 50 minute massage sessions from 2 to 6 p.m. on Friday, June 27 and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 28 at the Keawanui Fishpond.

Ho’omana Spa Maui is a Hawaiian owned and operated Spa and Cultural Healing Education Center located in Upcountry Maui. Ho`omana Spa Maui is committed to perpetuating ancient ways through Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Massage, Ho`oponopono, and La`au Lapa`au bringing these traditions to the modern spa experience.

If you have family and friends in Molokai who are in need of Hawaiian healing, contact host coordinator Guy Hanohano Naehu at (808)336-0853.
