rw (J«a.3CauJ Several years ago, OHA launched Kau Inoa, an effort to gather the names of Native Hawaiians interested in creating a Hawaiian governing entity. OHA eontracted with Hawai'i Maoli to serve as a data processing service and repository for the Kau Inoa applications. With the conclusion of Kau Inoa, the data has been retumed to OHA. Last year, the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission (NHRC ) was created by a State law that declared Native Hawaiians the only indigenous, aboriginal, maoli people of Hawai'i. On July 20, 2012, the NHRC launched Kana'iolowalu to create an official list of Native Hawaiians who want to reorganize a governing entity. We are contacting you because Kana'iolowalu is the next step in self-determination. Because you originally placed your name with Kau Inoa, we urge you to enroll with Kana'iolowalu. Those who enroll will have an important role in shaping our future, and in designing a reorganized governing entity. To enroll with Kana'iolowalu, please visit www.oha.org/enrollment.
