Kau Inoa Q&A Heard at the registration table ...

ū: Why is it taking so long? A: ln order for us to create a governing entity that represents the majority of the Hawaiian people, there have to be a credible number of Hawaiians registered. Now that we've reached 100,000 registrants, we are moving into consultations with registrants as we prepare for an 'Aha (convention) perhaps by next summer. If you've been waiting to register, now is the time! ū: Will someone be contacting me? Are meetings planned? What's next? A: Next the Office of Hawaiian Affairs is asking for in-depth discussion through the Community Consultation Network, a coordinated effort of media tools to eommunicate with eaeh other. We invite you all to share your mana'o! Sign up or find more information at oha.org/ccn, or eall Dawn Hironaka at 594-1759.
