Khalil J. Spencer responds to Robert Chapman that the matter of
Hawaiian justice is not
settled, and Sean Goodness argues that
Hawaiians should have the right to
self-determination in their ancestral
lands.
The University of Hawai'i Board of Regents have authorized the establishment of the Department of Native Hawaiian Health as part of the John A. Burns School of Medicine. The Maui News has a story about a dispute between a Hawaiian family and the state Dept. of Land and Natural Resources over 160 acres of land in Kanaio. Edward 'Uweko'olani has been active in the struggle for independence. And another Maui News article also talks about cultural concerns with the Kanaio preservation efforts. Testing the boundaries of free speech at Hawai'i public schools, several activists and social-service groups are giving students "Survival Kits 4 the Real World" that include messages against war, racism and military recruiting. The kits are being distributed by students at a handful of O'ahu high schools. The Advertiser reports that "Two military construction contracts worth approximately $77 million have been frozen pending the results of an FBI criminal investigation into two related companies that received the work last month." Also covered in the Pacific Business News. The Star-Bulletin has another story on the proposed Stryker brigade for Hawaii. And this AP story talks about the military's effort to be exempted from the Endangered Species Act and other environmental laws, and the critical habitat that is on many military reservations, including Makua Valley. Ohio Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich received a rousing welcome on Oahu last night. The Star-Bulletin reports that "Kucinich said he has not decided whether to support the Akaka bill, which would give federal recognition to native Hawaiians. 'My philosophy is to heal all the wrongs that have occurred between America and the indigenous peoples,' Kucinich said. 'Whether or not Sen. Akaka's bill is going to be that vehicle, I don't know.'"
