AHU ISA, LEI (LEINAʻALA) NONPARTISAN
Q1. Because OHA is a quasistate agency, the State holds the cards. They Must work with the Legislature
who makes the laws...the lawmakers. This is the difficult part for OHA as control is not totally theirs. Q2. This has been an ongoing effort by many, many people. I remember Kau Inoa and receiving my ID photo card verifying that I am a Hawaiian member of this endeavor. The "Entity" should be decided by our Hawaiian people...not a law created by the State. There are lots of very smart, good, caring Hawaiians out there who should be given a voice/heard.
