"State of OHA and the Hawaiian community" address


Yesterday was OHA's annual "state of OHA and the Hawaiian community" address delivered by board chair Haunani Apoliona, in which she called for Hawaiians to unify to protect Hawaiian programs and assets—around "the Native Hawaiian Coalition, the registration of all Native Hawaiians and passage of the Akaka bill." The Advertiser reports.

Update: Doug at Poinography also comments, and asks about the Native Hawaiian Coalition, linking to this month's OHA newsletter (PDF - see page 6) in which OHA administrator Clyde Namu'o discusses NHC as part of "Plan B". I haven't really heard much lately about what they have been up to, but here is a previous post and article about a meeting they held on Kaua'i in July, and here's an older post about a March 2004 meeting, as summarized by Keoni Agard, at which time OHA representatives agreed to "allow" the community to take control of the process, and provide only funding, logistics, research and clerical support. Anyone who has more current info about the NHC, feel free to share in the comments.
