1) Do you feel Hawaiians should be compensated for the public's use of ceded lands? 2) In light of the fact that OHA has not received ceded lands revenue since Sept. 12, 2001, do you feel OHA should receive back payment, immediate restoration of payment, or both? 3) Does the state have a responsibility to its native people in relation to rights and entitlements? 4) Do you believe Native Hawaiian rights differ from racial preference? 5) American Indians and Alaska Natives have federal recognition by law as native people. Do you support federal recognition for Native Hawaiians? 6) Do you favor immediate negotiations with the state and Hawaiians over ceded lands revenue due/settlement? 7) If a realistic settlement or new statutory authority cannot be reached, do you support an interim revenue measure to show good faith toward what is due Hawai'i's indigenous people?
