THE DIRTY DOZEN THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS, COUNCIL FOR NATIVE HAWAIIAN ADVANCEMENT & US DEPT. OF INTERIOR ARE PRACTICING ON HAWAIIANS

1. Convince the Hawaiian that he should be patient and that progress takes time.
 

2. Make him believe that things are being done for his own good.
 

3. Get some Hawaiian people to do the dirty work. There are always those who will act to the disadvantage of their own people.
 

4. Consult the Hawaiian, but do not act on the basis of what you hear.
 

5. Insist that the Hawaiian "GOES THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS". Make the channels and the procedures so difficult that he won't bother to do anything.
 

6. Allow a few individuals to "MAKE THE GRADE" and then point to them as examples.
 

7. Appeal to the Hawaiian's sense of fairness, and tell him that, even though things are pretty bad, it is not right for him to make strong protests.
 

8. Make the Hawaiian believe that things could be worse, and convince him that to attempt to regain a right he has lost is likely to jeopardize the rights that he still has.
 

9. Set yourself up as the protector of the Hawaiian's human rights, then act on only those violations you choose.

10. Insist on unanimity, then play one group's special situation against another group's wishes.

11. Select very limited alternatives, then tell the Hawaiian that he indeed has a choice.

12. Tell the Hawaiians they can't consider themselves when there is a whole nation to think of.
