Ka Wai Ola - Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Volume 2, Number 1, 1 January 1982 — KAUAʻI [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

KAUAʻI

This was one of the most successful Kaua'i meetings. It was probably the biggest turnout in years for the Hawaiian eommunity. The volunteers for OHA were unreal. They turned out in force with maile leis, decorations, and lots of support. Most of the people who testified were in favor of OHA's position. The return of the lands/restitution/reparations was the major issue. Eugene Lum, O'ahu attorney, was fantastic. La France Kapaka testified for her grandmother who lived during the overthrow and would like to see the process of redress start before she passes on.
