Building a Hawaiian Nation

Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! The New Year is here and we greet it with renewed zeal and enthusiasm. Wonderful changes have been made throughout the past year to strengthen our journey to our ultimate goal for the year 2009 - Building a Hawaiian Nation. Like brothers and sisters, Hawaiians have many different views and do not see eye to eye on how, when and what to do to achieve our justifiable goals. Some Hawaiians want things to remain the same but expect things to get better by doing nothing. Others want to act now while the frre is hot and do something instead of doing nothing. When all is said and done, we will forever have one thing in eonunon: We are Hawaiians. We are 'ohana. May the "Spirit of Aloha" remain with you always to warm your heart with Akahai, kindness; Lōkahi, unity; 'Olu'olu, agreeable; Ha'aha'a, humility; and Ahonui, pahenee. It is my privilege and a great honor for me to eonhnue to serve you, our 'ohana and the people of Hawai'i nei. S
