The package, OHA trustees say, is an important first step in addressing the concerns and needs of native Hawaiians and Hawaiians with regard to their entitlements under state law. The Board of Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs held a series of 11 public meetings statewide in March and April to inform the Hawaiian people about the details of the package and to encourage their participation,and involvement in the conti nuing legislative process and future program planning. Over 800 people atterided these meetings. A special documentary film , "A Promise in T rust," was shown in the meetings. It discusses the background and details of the ceded land trust agreement. A panel of OHA trustees and representatives of the Governor's office discussed the details of the agreement and answered questions from community members who voiced their comments and concerns. Some shared their appreciation of the time taken and diligence shown by the trustees and governor's team to negotiate a settlement on'their behalf. Others continued to question OHA's credibility, asking questions such as "Can we trust OHA?" "Why are we settling for just this?" "What will you do with the money?"

f rom page 10 fy ing OHA's position, the state government's role and which issues concern the federal government. What I find disheartening, is the Hawaiian community's reluctance to accept and encourage the steps OHA is taking. Much of the crowd at the meeting seemed to have a one-track mind focused on Hawaiian Home Lands, an issue that falls en- ti rely outside OHA's jurisdiction. The panel members explained themselves repeatedly, but to no avail. Movement toward improvi ng OHA's programs will not hamper Hawaiians trying to win homesteads; it can only help as with more power and resources, OHA will be in a better position to help all Hawaiia ns in all situations of need. OHA staff and trustees are to be commended fo r their hard work and dedication. I hope their effo rt to bring a progress report to the Hawaiian population at large will not be such a discouraging experience that achievements thus far will be lost or abandoned.

About 114 youthful participants shared their talent in the art of ote'a, aparima himene and the ori Tahiti stylings of native Tahitian dance. The Keiki Tahiti Fete, now in its fifth year, is sponsored by the Kalihi -Palama Culture and Arts Society Inc. , an independent community-based non-profit corporation. The festival is also sponsored in part by the Sta te Foundation on Cult ure and the Arts. The festival is held to stimulate an interest in and an awareness of Hawaii's Poly- nesian affiliation with the peoples of Tahiti. The day-long event began with a performance by the Te Vai Ura Nui ensemble, directed by Charles T emanaha. Master of ceremonies Kimo Keawe, KCCN radio personality, introduced judges Lucy Lee, Roiti Sylva and Etua Tahauri. Sylva, originally from Tahiti , was a premier Tahi- tian dancer performing in Hawai'i. Tahauri, who lives in Laie, is owner of the Hawai'i Polynesian Cultural Supply and a Tahitian dance instructor for more than 20 years. Six studios participated in the competition: Ato'oi Marama from Hanapepe, Ka ua'i (director Kapu Kinimaka-Alquiza); Tamarii Aia Here, from Lahaina, Maui (Reri N.L.

Hawaii's Rays - Fish that fly through water

Sting rays, the small- est of the ray families, (up to four feet wide) can be identified by their square shaped bodies with their "wings" extending to the front of their heads. Eagle rays, on the other hand, have more triangular shaped wings that do not extend past the head. Eagle rays may grow up to seven feet wide and can easily be identified by the many white spots that are scattered over the upper surface of their bodies. Both sting rays and eagle rays are bottom feed- ers. Their meals consist of worms, shellfish, mol- lusks and occasionally small fish. They are often found in shallow waters where they lie half-sub- merged in the sand grazing the bottom for food. Both sting rays and eagle rays possess barbed, poi- sonous stingers on their tails. If stepped on they can inflict a serious and painful wound. The largest of Hawaii's rays are the manta rays. These magnificent creatures may grow to be over 20 feet wide and weigh over 3,000 pounds. Unlike 31 sting rays and eagle rays, manta rays have adap- idi2n o ted to feed in the surface waters and many are pe- lagic or occur far out at sea.

The unfortunate thing is that most of these cancers are preventable. Many of the cancers are even curable. What can we do to help to accomplish this? The first thing is to learn and teach others what to do. The Waimanalo Health Center took some strides toward this by having a health fair on April 7 to inform the community about many aspects of' health. Among other things, there were talks on la'au lapa'au_ Helen O'Connor and I were invited to present the anti-cancer aspects of the Wai'anae Diet and the Moloka'i Diet to the community. At that presentation, we shared a little about diet and cancer and things we could do to help prevent and cure cancer.

Fight cancer through diet What are some of the things we can do person- ally to fight cancer? The National Cancer Institute now recognizes diet as the number one cause of cancer. They estimate that 35 percent of all cancer is diet-related whereas about 30 percent of cancer is smoking related.
