New law extends Kanaʻiolowalu privileges to more Native Hawaiians

On July 1, 2013, a law will go into effect that makes the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission responsible for including on the roll — and extending the privileges of enrollment to — verified Hawaiians and Native Hawaiians who are already registered with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs on its Operation 'Ohana, Native Hawaiian Registry and Kau Inoa lists. This new law helps ensure that Native Hawaiians who have demonstrated their civic commitment to the Hawaiian community by registering on those lists will have the same rights and acknowledgments as the members of the Native Hawaiian roll. If you are registered and verified with Operation 'Ohana, the Hawaiian Registry or Kau Inoa, you are to be included on the Kanai'olowalu roll as a result of the new law (Act 77).

*0HA registrants who have concerns about their status on the KanaHolowalu roll should contact the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission at: (808) 594-0088 or email kokua@kanaiolowalu.org
