1. Internal Policy is to define the position of Trustee versus the CEO and set up protocol over the "Elected Officers" wbo are chosen by the people versus an employee CEO hired by the OHA Board of Trustees. Clyde Nāmu'o, the predecessor of Kamana'o Crabbe set in motion a different set of rules and created the CEO position with more powers than previous Administrators. External Policy is to regain lost revenues from ceded lands that was not for the greater good of the Hawaiian people and to establish same status of power as the Legislature as was originally intended for OHA. Very difficult to accomplish given the climate of fear, greed and continued ignorance of the injustice carried on at the Hawaiian people's expense. A major policy change is to seek financial compensation from the federal government for use of ceded military lands and leave the entitlements back in Washington, D.C„ for the other "Native"classifiedracegroups. 2. My civil and business entrepreneurship skills and planning capacities ean be used in a wide area of decisionmaking policies. Our system is laid out in layers, one upon the other: culture is the base with language a foundation of our worldview, and upon this we plaee sustainability management of our natural resources; then eeonomie and financial development, and on the very top are the living conditions of our Hawaiian people and all others. I view this as an integration system that needs to be constantly updated and maintained. My skills and perceptions to the complexityof constantly ensuring the frameworkthat holds these layers in plaee and allows for the vibrant and interactive is what I ean offer should I be elected to Trustee.
