MOANIKEALA (EDWINA) AKAKA

OHA HAWAII • ALOHA AINA CANDIDATE • NATIVE RIGHTS - OHA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CLAIM Ceded lands should be given out in long term leases for families to live on. These and other resources legally beiong to the Hawaiian people and if OHA does not go after them, we lose aaain.

OHA was set up "to help better the conditions of the Hawaiian people." I intend to see that it does just that; that we self-determine our own future and destiny. OHA is supposed to be advocates for justice for the Hawaiian people, and I have been just that since we started the Hawaiian movement in Kalama Valley on Oahu in 1970. As leaderof the Hilo Airport incident in 1978, we now bring in over one-half million dollars a year in rent for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono!
