The
Advertiser
reports:
"The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA) has set the fourth annual
Native Hawaiian
Conference for Aug. 30-Sept. 2 at the Sheraton
Waikiki Hotel. More than 500 conferees are expected to meet, discussing
development issues in the Hawaiian community, ranging from health- care to
education."Note that "In addition to
Native Hawaiian representatives and leaders, the 38-member board of directors of
the Alaska Federation of
Natives (AFN), representing hundreds of Native
Alaskan nonprofits, governments and communities, will join the conference."
Preparing Hawaiians to accept a Alaska native model, like Abercrombie suggested was his "own
particular preference."Information:
