They were out here in this remote area and they needed to get the sugar to market, and so that was built in order to get the sugar, and whatever else they were growing, to Honolulu to the markets.

ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) is proposing an administrative rule to facilitate the reestablishment of a formal government-to-government relationship with the Native Hawaiian community to more effectively implement the special political and trust relationship that Congress has established between that community and the United States. The proposed rule does not attempt to reorganize a Native Hawaiian government or draft its constitution, nor does it dictate the form or structure of that government. Rather, the proposed rule would establish an administrative procedure and criteria that the Secretary would use if the Native Hawaiian community forms a unified government that then seeks a formal government-to-government relationship with the United States. Consistent with the Federal policy of indigenous self- determination and Native self-governance, the Native Hawaiian community itself would determine whether and how to reorganize its government. DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before [INSERT DATE 90 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. Please see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for dates and locations of public meetings and tribal consultations. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by either of the methods listed below. Please use Regulation Identifier Number 1090-AB05 in your message. 1. Federal eRulemaking portal: http://www.regulations.gov.

  • Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai'i Tourism Authority Before the SENATE COMMITTEE on ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, and TOURISM
    Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai‘i Tourism Authority before the SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM Monday, February 8, 2021 3:00 PM State Capitol, Conference Room #224 In consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 916 RELATING TO TAXATION Chair Wakai, Vice Chair Misalucha, and members of the Committee on Energy, Economic Development, and Tourism: the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) supports Senate Bill 916, which specifies that the $1,000,000 of Transient Accommodations Tax revenues currently allocated to operate a Hawaiian center and the Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance may also be used to plan, design, and construct these facilities at an unspecified location. SB 916 is needed as we move forward to create the new Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance. This measure will allow the funds to be utilized both for operations and development of the center. Currently, the law does not provide clear guidance as to how the funds may be utilized. The term “operations,” as found in the current statute, appears to restrict the use of the funds to the day-to- day activities of a center. Since this will be a new endeavor, we believe that allowing the funds to also be used for the planning, design, and construction will encourage more interest as we move forward in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. It is for these reasons that HTA supports SB 916. We appreciate this opportunity to provide testimony.

Conklin, Ph.D. Executive Director e-mail [email protected] Unity, Equality, Aloha for all To: HOUSE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION For hearing Thursday, March 18, 2021 Re: HCR179, HR148 URGING THE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION TO REQUEST THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF PRESIDENT WILLIAM MCKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL BACK TO THE SCHOOL'S PREVIOUS NAME OF HONOLULU HIGH SCHOOL AND TO REMOVE THE STATUE OF PRESIDENT MCKINLEY FROM THE SCHOOL PREMISES TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION There is only one reason why some activists want to abolish "McKinley" from the name of the school and remove his statue from the campus. The reason is, they want to rip the 50th star off the American flag and return Hawaii to its former status as an independent nation. And through this resolution they want to enlist you legislators as collaborators in their treasonous propaganda campaign. The strongest evidence that this is their motive is easy to see in the "whereas" clauses of this resolution and in documents provided by the NEA and the HSTA which are filled with historical falsehoods trashing the alleged U.S. "invasion" and "occupation" of Hawaii; alleged HCR179, HR148 Page !1 of !10 Conklin HSE EDN 031821 suppression of Hawaiian language and culture; and civics curriculum in the early Territorial period. Portraying Native Hawaiians as victims of colonial oppression and/or belligerent military occupation is designed to bolster demands to "give Hawaii back to the Hawaiians", thereby producing a race-supremacist government and turning the other 80% of Hawaii's people into second-class citizens.

  • From Mauka to Makai
    FROM MAUKA TO MAKAI: THE RIVER OF JUSTICE MUST FLOW FREELY \, . REPORT ON THE RECONCILIATION PROCESS BETWEEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND NATIVE HAWAIIANS PREPARED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OCTOBER 23, 2000 University of Hawaii School of Law Library - Jon Van Dyke Archives Collection --- FROM MAUKA TO MAKAI: THE RIVER OF JUSTICE MUST FLOW FREELY REPORT ON THE RECONCILIATION PROCESS BETWEEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND NATIVE HAWAIIANS PREPARED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OCTOBER 23, 2000 Description of the Reconciliation Process and this Report In 1993, with Public Law 103-150, the Apology Resolution, the United States apologized to the Native Hawaiian people for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai' i in 1893 and expressed its commitment to acknowledge the ramifications of the overthrow in order to provide a proper foundation for reconciliation between the United States and the Native Hawaiian people. The passage of the Apology Resolution was the first step in this reconciliation process. In March of 1999, Senator Daniel K. Akaka asked Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt and Attorney General Janet Reno to designate officials to represent their respective Departments in efforts of reconciliation between the Federal Government and Native Hawaiians. Secretary Babbitt designated John Berry, Assistant Secretary, Policy Management and Budget, for the Department of the Interior (Interior), and Attorney General Reno designated Mark Van Norman, Director, Office of Tribal Justice, for the Department of Justice (Justice)(together, the Departments), to commence the reconciliation process. Messrs. Berry and Van Norman, the authors of this Report, have accepted Senator Akaka's definition of "reconciliation" as a "means for healing," and in addition believe, in words taken from one statement, "a 'reconciliation' requires something more than being nice or showing respect.

  • Testimony of Mufi Hannemann President & CEO Hawai'i Lodging & Tourism Association House Committee on Veteran, Military
    HAWAl‘l LODGING & TOURISM ASSOCIATION Testimony of Mufi Hannemann President & CEO Hawai‘i Lodging & Tourism Association House Committee on Veteran, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts House Concurrent Resolution 70 Requesting the United States Postal Service to issue a commemorative postage stamp in honor of Alfred Apaka. Aloha Chair Ito, Vice Chair Tokioka and members of the committee, on behalf of the Hawai‘i Lodging & Tourism Association and its 700-plus members we offer strong support for HCR 70 which would request of the US Postal Service to issue a commemorative postage stamp in honor of Alfred Apaka, legendary Hawaiian entertainer and showman. As a state we pride ourselves on our Native Hawaiian culture and our Aloha spirit, two very unique features that help set us apart from the rest of the world. One very important aspect of our culture is and has been our islands’ music, a genre that has helped set the stage for Hawai‘i as a global destination. We have seen the pioneers of our state’s music from Don Ho to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and others who have made a name for themselves locally, nationally, and internationally. But before these gentlemen hit the scene there was another musical legend, Alfred Apaka, the pioneer who first introduced the world to Hawai‘i’s music. Alfred Apaka, frequently known as the Golden Voice of Hawai‘i, has created a legacy for himself as he headlined venues such as the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the Moana Surfrider, Don at the Beachcomber, and Kaiser’s Hawaiian Village where he entertained thousands of visitors and locals alike.
