About the HALE PILI
In 2009, the reconstruction of a centuries-old
Hawaiian grass house was completed, and the
dream of hundreds of workers realized.
For a little more than a year, cultural specialists,
volunteers, and students came together to
build, tie, repair, and tether in the true spirit of
living laulima - many hand make light work.
From laying stones for the foundation, to visiting
specific areas in Hawai‘i in order to gather just
the right type of grass, to braiding some 7,000
feet of cordage, they stayed true to the ways of our
ancestors. In the process, they gleaned knowledge
of Native Hawaiian architecture through modernday deconstruction of the Hale Pili and careful
documentation.
Today, the Hale Pili stands as a testament to the
vast knowledge and skill of Native Hawaiians – and
to the abilities of our contemporaries who carry this
knowledge forward.
Originally built in Miloli‘i Valley on Kaua‘i, the
Hale Pili is the lone surviving grass house of its
kind. With a renewed breath of life, it stands as
a centerpiece in the Hawaiian Hall of the Bishop
Museum, inspiring others to embrace the traditions
of the past in order to preserve that which has come
before.

Aloha e nä ‘öiwi ‘ölino, nä pulapula a
Häloa mai Hawai‘i a Ni‘ihau a puni ke ao

The economic recession on the continent
has left grave challenges for all. In
Hawai‘i our businesses, communities,
and families have not been insulated
from these compelling economic,
political, and social forces – and our
island lifestyle has been impacted as
well.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA)
has and will continue to support and
resource non-profit community groups,
community-based initiatives, and sound
entrepreneurial efforts that invest in
strengthening Native Hawaiian families
and communities working to make
a difference in the lives of Native
Hawaiians and ultimately improving
Hawai‘i nei. As Native Hawaiians
prosper so will Hawai‘i.
In our 2010 Office of Hawaiian Affairs
Grants & Sponsorships Annual Report,
we highlight the grant awards of nearly
$11,617,460 million. These awards
support various projects ranging from
educational and training programs for
Native Hawaiian para-professionals in
the healthcare industry to the Läna‘ihale
Forest and Watershed Project for a
healthy and sustainable environment on
Läna‘i.
8 | 2010 office of hawaiian affairs grants & Sponsorships Annual report
All of these projects and initiatives
give life to OHA’s vision statement,
“Ho‘oulu Lähui Aloha” – To Raise A
Beloved Nation – and as we implement
OHA’s 2010-2016 strategic plan, we
will continue to advocate for and partner
with community organizations who
play vital roles in improving the wellbeing of Native Hawaiian beneficiaries
and advancing self-determination
for our community. Their efforts,
endowed with Hawaiian mana‘o and
values, address immediate community
needs while building economic, social,
and educational success for Native
Hawaiians.
E hana käkou me ke ahonui a pili me ka
hä a ke aloha, ‘oiai e külia i ka nu‘u a kau
i ka ‘iu o luna. We must work together
with patient understanding and with the
spirit of aloha as we strive to achieve our
ultimate goal – a resourceful, productive,
compassionate, and healthy Hawaiian
nation.

‘ÖLELO A KA LUNA HO‘OKELE
As the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA)
continues to work for the betterment of
Native Hawaiians, I am proud to present
the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 OHA Grants
& Sponsorships Annual Report.
The past year was again marked by a
struggling economy which impacted
Native Hawaiian families throughout the
state. As FY 2010 came to a close, it was
evident that OHA played an important
role in many lives and our commitment
remains resolute in our support of
Native Hawaiians during these difficult
economic times.
In FY 2010, OHA awarded a total
of $11,617,460 in grants. The OHA
Community Grants and Sponsorship
programs awarded a total of $11,617,460
with $609,426 going for health;
$3,379,000 for housing; $1,047,236 for
human services; $526,267 for economic
development; $4,261,206 for education;
$131,094 for nation-building; and
$1,561,231 for native rights, land, and
culture.
OHA continues its annual $3,000,000
grant commitment to the Department
of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) to
support DHHL as they continue to build
affordable homes and put more Native
Hawaiian families into homes.
As we move into FY 2011, the OHA grants
program will align with our 2010-2016
strategic priorities and results and will
seek to facilitate community partnerships
aimed at positive systemic change in
the lives of Native Hawaiians. This
is intended to help focus our efforts
toward wise stewardship of our limited
resources to improve and strengthen our
Native Hawaiian community.
Me ka ÿoiaÿiÿo,

Office of Hawaiian Affairs
OHA allocated $325,000 in support of

AS PART OF
OHA’s
strategic
planning
process,
the function and operation of the former Community
Grants Program as well as grant awards formerly
administered by the various Hale were consolidated in
to one program – Transitional Assistance, which falls
under the Community Relations Line of Business.
Strategic Partnering Opportunities direct organizational
performance links to OHA’s Strategic Plan 2010 – 2016
as applicant organizations are asked to align itself with
alu ‘ia
one or more of OHA’s Strategic Priorities: Hoÿokahua
Waiwai (Economic Self-Sufficiency), ÿÄina (Land &
Water), Moÿomeheu (Culture), Mauli Ola (Health), ÿEa
(Governance), and Hoÿonaÿauao (Education). All of these
priorities support OHA’s strategic roles of Advocacy,
Research, Resource Management, and Community
Relations. All proposals for funding requests to OHA
must describe how their program will achieve the results
enumerated in the Plan, and how it will derive the impacts
we hope to achieve in the lives of Native Hawaiians.
Aligning our grants program with our strategic priorities
will help focus our actions and our efforts toward wise
stewardship of our limited resources to strengthen
Native Hawaiians and partner with community-based
organizations to better serve the Hawaiian community.
We are honored to present the Grants & Sponsorships
Annual Report for fiscal year 2010.

OUR Vision
Ho‘oulu Lähui Aloha - To Raise A Beloved Nation.
OHA’s vision statement blends the thoughts and leadership of
both King Kaläkaua and his sister, Queen Lili‘uokalani. Both
faced tumultuous times as we do today, and met their challenges
head on. “Ho‘oulu Lähui” was King Kaläkaua’s motto. “Aloha”
expresses the high values of Queen Lili‘uokalani.

T
he Windward Community
College’s (WCC) Employment
Training Center (ETC) is to
serve the community by providing shortterm, career-focused education and
training in a flexible, learner-centered
and supportive environment. In 2007,
OHA funded $150,000 to support a pilot
Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) Program
grounded in Native Hawaiian values of
mälama nä küpuna (care for the elders)
and laulima (community work). The
goal was to increase the number of
Native Hawaiians in health careers.
OHA’s grant was a response to the
industry’s call for more nurse aides to
care for increases in the aged population
and demand for a more diversified
workforce. Graduates can expect to earn
from $12 to $15 per hour.
14 | 2010 office of hawaiian affairs grants & Sponsorships Annual report
Building upon the success of the
CNA Program that graduated 60 Native
Hawaiians, the ETC’s Health Programs
coordinator, Dr. Jamie Kamailani Boyd,
secured an OHA Community-Based
Economic Development (CBED) grant
to conduct the CNA to Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN) to Registered Nurse (RN)
Pathway Program. This Program meets
both the overall mission of ETC and
OHA’s strategic result of increasing
economic self-sufficiency.
Similar to hula, lei making, and
navigation, students learn to master
the art over years of close mentorship
and active participation. The Pathway
Program prepares students to advance
from entry-level nurse aide to licensed
practical nurse (LPN - $22/hour) to
registered nurse (RN - $40/hour). Along
the way, students gain employment skills
to qualify for higher - paying jobs and
eliminate risks associated with poverty.
Kapi‘olani Community College’s
Nursing Program collaborated with
WCC in this historic pilot project, and
Kamehameha Schools, Queen’s Medical
Center, and Alu Like, Inc. built on
OHA’s funding and initiative. Today,
with Native Hawaiian - serving agencies
pooling resources to support the CNA
to LPN to RN Pathway, 130 students
completed the CNA training, 80% went
on to higher education and training. In
only three years, two students have
passed the LPN exam and two students
are scheduled to graduate from RN
training in December 2010.

hrough the medium of the Hawaiian language,
Kawaikini New Century Charter School will
create a supportive learning environment where
indigenous cultural knowledge is valued, applied, and
perpetuated. Kawaikini New Century Charter School is a
K-12 Hawaiian - immersion school located in Puhi, Kauaÿi.
Kawaikini is on the Kaua‘i community campus next to
Pünana Leo o Kauaÿi, part of the system of ‘Aha Pünana Leo
Hawaiian - immersion preschools. The presence of a K-12
Hawaiian - immersion school in the location creates a P-20 link
that provides continuous, supported education in the Hawaiian
language from preschool through college level. At Kawaikini,
Hawaiian is spoken almost exclusively throughout campus with
the exception of certain zones where there is interaction with the
public. Kawaikini’s goals are to implement an integrated K-12
Kaua‘i-based curriculum, develop and foster a community of
Hawaiian language speakers, improve and support the overall
health of the learning community, engage parents and Kaua‘i
organizations in achieving a well-rounded Hawaiian education,
and prepare students with the skills and knowledge necessary
for academic and career success.

T
he purpose of ‘Aha Käne is to strengthen the
Native Hawaiian community through the nurturing
and perpetuating of traditional male roles and
responsibilities that contribute to the physical, mental, spiritual,
and social well-being of Hawaiian males, their families, and
communities.
‘Aha Käne sought to address the issues of Native Hawaiian
male leaderships and community involvement by focusing
on the cultural history and the roles of Native Hawaiian men
in the past, present, and future. ‘Aha Käne 2010 offered a
diverse venue of support services, educational programs,
health presentations, and cultural workshops to increase our
awareness and empower Native Hawaiian käne to fulfill our
roles and responsibilities amongst ourselves, as well as within
our families and our respective communities.
Key activities included: health screenings, diverse workshops
(lomilomi, healing arts, performing arts, warrior traditions,
and oration), expert panels (elders, masters navigators, and
spirituality), and keynotes from honored leaders, evening film
documentaries, Hawaiian language oration competition, and
various athletic competitions.

T
he Bishop Museum has worked toward a
reunification of the three largest Kü images in
the world. More than any other images, they
have transcended their individual manifestations and come
to represent the Hawaiian people as a whole. To bring them
together is to bring ourselves and our community together.
They are what connect us, in a tangible and visceral way, to our
past, for they are the embodiment of the imagination, artistry,
and skill of our ancestors who created beings in the imagined
likeness of their gods. And those very Kü survived to this day,
when so many others did not. They survived ignorance, racism
and marginalism. When gathered, not in isolation, these Kü
remind us that the traditions and culture of the Native Hawaiian
people will long endure.

he Läna‘ihale Forest and Watershed Project
was created in January 2006 within the Pacific
Cooperative Studies Unit of the University of
Hawaii by Dr. Fern Duvall (DLNR/DOFAW) to study the
endangered Hawaiian petrel on Lana‘i.
The project was to determine if the ‘ua‘u (Hawaiian petrel)
were still breeding on the island of Läna‘i, and if they were
still present, to determine the health of the colony and potential
threats to their existence. Additionally, the project sought to
determine how to best manage the area for the protection and
28 | 2010 office of hawaiian affairs grants & Sponsorships Annual report
enhancement of these endangered seabirds.
The study confirmed there are several thousand ‘ua‘u living
in Läna‘ihale and determined the area was home to the second
- largest known population of ‘ua‘u in the world. The study
also determined the Strawberry Guava was the most significant
invasive species to threaten the habitat of the ‘ua‘u.
The long-term results of the project and the health of the
‘ua‘u now depends on educating the people of Läna‘i about the
threats to their island’s ecology and the ‘ua‘u’s habitat. Housing grants
