HAWAI`I CHARTER SCHOOLS & PARENTS UPSET AT OHA PLAN TO GIVE $1.5 MILLION TO CNHA
HawaiiNewsNow - September 21, 2017
Every year, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs gives $1.5 million to Hawaiian charter schools. Halau Ku Mana, one of 17 Hawaiian focused charter gets about $50,000-$60,000 of the OHA money.
Recently, OHA awarded the contract to administer the funds to the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement instead of another group called KALO.
An internal memo shows the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement received a score of 81.3 while Kanu O Ka Aina Learning Ohana (KALO) got 75.
Charter school supporters testified at the OHA board meeting.
I humbly request that you do not give the charter school funding to the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement which is a political organization rather than an educational non-profit," said Healani Sonoda-Pale, parent at Halau Ku Mana.
"I'm worried that after the first year that those resources may decrease. I'm worried that CHNA will leverage the funds for purposes that aren't education related," said Keoni Bunag, principal at Halau Ku Mana.
The Council favors US federal recognition while many at Halau Ku Mana oppose it.
"I think at the core of the mistrust is the opposition to our position on federal recognition," said Michelle Kauhane, President and CEO of the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement.
The new contract hasn't be finalized yet and the OHA board will take up this issue on its September 27th agenda.

WHO WILL SEIZE THE KEYS ON VOICES OF TRUTH – ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I’S FUTURE
With the demise of the Akaka bill, the scramble is on for the claim to create a legitimate Hawaiian government.
While the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists and never went away, some are planning an attempt to grab the legitimacy that only the Hawaiian Kingdom has.
Two main models of government are about to be put forth and neither is legitimate.
What are they? We’ll tell you about one of them and who the players behind them are this coming Wednesday on Free Hawai`i TV.
Noelani Goodyear-Kaopua is passionate about Hawai`iʻs keiki, children, and their future. Don’t miss our visit with her filmed on the grounds of Halau Ku Mana, one of Hawai`iʻs most successful public charter schools all this week on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

“Honoring Our Patriots – Looking To Our Future” is the theme of Sovereign Sunday on the grounds of `Iolani Palace today in downtown Honolulu from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The annual observance marks the illegal takeover of the Hawaiian Kingdom by the US and foreign sugar barons in 1893.
Everyone is invited to participate in this free public event, where the focus of discussion will be creating a pono or just future for a Free Hawai`i.
Free parking is available on the Palace grounds.
Noelani Goodyear-Kaopua is not your average teacher.
As a matter of fact, Noelaniʻs not really a teacher at all, but rather an educator who leaves a unique imprint on all her students.
Her amazing love for Hawai`i, its culture as well as her mission to share that with her students is what we discovered right away in our visit with her.
Filmed on the grounds of Halau Ku Mana, a Hawaiian public charter school she co-founded, we think youʻll be just as inspired as we were.
Be sure and see our visit with Noelani, one of Hawai`iʻs premier educators all this week on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS IGNORES HAWAIIAN BENEFICIARIES
Contrary to its mission, OHA has been ignoring the Hawaiian beneficiaries to promote its own agenda.
A couple months ago it raised the furor of the native Hawaiians when it donated $100,000.00 to the Pearl Harbor Museum.
The latest is sponsoring the debated among three candidates while snubbing 11 other candidates on the ballot that no one is aware of until they receive the ballot to vote.
Such travesty of democracy especially when there are at least two who are kanaka maoli candidates.
Last week took the cake when a Charter School and a Pa asked for assistance to help fund their trip to Tahiti to do a cultural exchange and learning experience.
For months they were negotiating for funds; then OHA's contact could not be reached in recent months and the group was put off.
Finally, last week they received OHA's decision where they were denied any assistance with the reason that they ran out of funds. THEY RAN OUT OF FUNDS! Can you believe that?
