ras · OHA TRUSTEE-AT-LARGE.

I believe that home and work are the foundation of human dignity. That is why I have worked so hard to promote economic self-sufficiency and housing and homestead development for H awaiians. O HA must recognize this as one of its primary missions.

Economic Development -Support Community Based Economic Development (CBED).

-Promote more jobs through CBED and small business entrepreneurship.

-Protect the customary rights of traditional business men and women who fish, plant, gather and weave.

ousing & Homestead Development

- E.xpand 10 million OHA Tru t Fund 0 that all Ha 'aiian and non-profit organizations working with them can access these funds.

-Work with DHHL to establish special needs loans for poor families and kupuna on limited income.

-Pursue settlements for DHHL homesteaders and applicants who were wrongly denied their benefits.

Cultural Rights -Defend traditional rights reaffirmed under the Kohanaiki-Public Access Shoreline Hawai'i (PASH) case. Oppose all legislative measures intended to limit or criminalize traditional practices.

-Support 'llio'ulaokalani Coalition, an organization formed to protect Native Hawaiian gathering rights.

Ifyou look at my life, you'll see proof of my commitment to achieving these ends. I ask you to allow me to continue to serve you, as a Trustee of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
