OHA's role is to be the conduit for this development and the repository of the concepts. As facilitator, OHA has developed a long-range plan called "I Luna A'e" (Moving Upward). Operation 'Ohana (Enrollment) Operation 'Ohana, part of the "I Luna A'e" program, was initiated on July 27 , 1989. 'Ohana is one of those special words inspired by Hawaiian reverence fo r life - past, present and future. It comes from the word 'oha meaning the rootlets by which the taro plant reproduces itself. It also means family in the most important and extended sense. In order to grow and flourish , the Hawaiian people are re -establishing their familial relationships. The goal of Operation 'Ohana is to encourage all native Hawaiians to join in one alliance beginning with families and expanding to include the entire community and culture. To accomplish this, OHA has organized an enroll ment program which builds on the traditional family system. OHA's goal is to enroll some 150,000 native Hawaiians. As part of the enrollment process a follow up validation and survey will take place thereby providing much needed data to develop a benefits package fo r native Hawaiians. The validation process wi ll also provide a native Hawaiian genealogy data base. Operation 'Ohana will not only serve to unite the Hawaiians gathered for the announcement of the ceded lands proposed settlement, which is native Hawaiian community, it will also provide the one of several OHA long-range plans for Hawaiian entitlements. fi rst true demographic information on our people, giving us data based on wants and needs identified self-determination to define who we are and what In 1989 a series of public information meetings by Hawaiians for Hawaiian use.
