Homestead Hearings Moved to July 5-8
A series of hearings originally planned on Hawaiian homesteads this month has been rescheduled to the week of July 5-8, according to the office of Hawaii's U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye. (Specific locations and times were being confirmed by Inouye's staff at press time for Ka Wai Ola O OHA, and will be announced later). Hearings by the Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs, whieh Inouye chairs, will be held on O'ahu, Kaua'i, Moloka'i and Hawai'i. The hearings are expected to determine how well the United States has fulfilled its trust obligations to native Hawaiians under the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920. The hearings are also intended to seek recommendations from groups and individuals affected by the Hawaiian Homes Act for legislation and other positive actions to remedy any possible breaches of the trust obligations.
