"Hawaiian Rights" Reception

The "Native Hawaiian Rights Handbook is a joint project of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) and the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation. Patterned after the landmark "Handbook of American Indian Law" by Felix Cohen, the "Native Hawaiian Rights Handbook" is a publication of significant importance to both the Native Hawaiian and legal communities, and of more than passing interest to the general public. A reception to celebrate the publishing and distribution of the NHRHandbook is planned for: Tuesday, May 21 from 5-7 p.m. at The Willows restaurant. Ticket price is $30 and includes heavy pupu buffet and beer/wine bar. Proceeds from the event will be shared equally between the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation (a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization) and the OHA Native Hawaiian Rights Fund. Editor Melody MacKenzie will be specially acknowledged that evening. The sale of autographed copies will occur during the event, and there will be entertainment by the Banyan Serenaders (Nahoa Lucas and Doug Tolentino) and Halau Mohala 'Ilima. There will be a short formal presentation and remarks by the Governor, the OHA Board Chairman, NHLC President Georgiana Alvaro, former Chief Justice William S. Richardson, and Ms. MacKenzie.
