the DAWN OF A NEW AGE

Almost four years ago, the work of the Hawaiian Sovereignty Elections Council was born. Twenty Hawaiian Council Members from diverse backgrounds, representing all islands and the continental U.S. were tasked with finding out the will of the Hawaiian people on the question of building a sovereign Hawaiian nation. Recently in the Native Hawaiian Vote, 22,300 Hawaiians voted 3-1 in favor of an election of delegates to propose a native Hawaiian government. Now on December 31, 1996, the work of this Council is completed, our office will be closing its doors and we the members want to express our aloha and mahalo to those who helped to make this journey possible. We thank the Hawaiian community and the people of this 'aina for allowing us to serve you faithfully. Though the work of the Council may be coming to an end, the work ahead for Hawaiians is just beginning. Many of us are committed to seeing this work through to the next steps - an election of delegates, a Hawaiian convention and the building of a Hawaiian nation. In addition to our personal commitments, the non-profit arm, Hā Hawai'i, is committed to promote Hawaiian self-governance and education of Hawaiian sovereignty to the people of Hawai'i and the world. Hā Hawai'i is accepting new members and will be holding its first annual General Membership Meeting sometime in early 1997 where officers and directors will be elected, as well as fiscal plans and goals for 1997 discussed. To find out more about Hā Hawai'i or to become a member please write: Hā Hawai'i, 1164 Bishop St. Suite #1205, Honolulu, Hawai'i 96813 or via e-mail: tlani@aloha.net. For those of you who have signed up for our December 14 Hawaiian Conference we look forward to seeing you there to further discuss the next steps. Onee again mahalo nui for sharing this experience... let us all journey ahead into the next millennium committed to improving the lives and conditions of Hawaiians.
