Ka Wai Ola - Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Volume 14, Number 8, 1 August 1997 — Call for honest, complete inquiry [ARTICLE]

Call for honest, complete inquiry

I am an alumnus and supporter of Nā Pua a ke Ali'i Pauahi, ine. Until recently, I was not involved mueh with the School. I did not attend my proms, high school functions or any class reunions. However, the allegations over the last few months could not be ignored by me because it has resulted in deep, far-reaching pain being inflicted throughout the Hawaiian community. A wrong has definitely been committed. By whom and to what extent — we don't know — yet. Only through an honest and complete inquiry ean we imcover the

truth, regardless of where it may lead. Only then will the healing process begin. I have a suggestion. Why doesn't Lokelani Lindsey (and anyone else who may be involved) step up, take responsibility and provide a forthright, full and complete statement? It will inevitably be uncovered later, so why not spare everyone a lot of pain, while at the same time be instrumental in contributing to the healing process. Scott K. Collins Class of 1971
