Hawaiian Recognition.

OHA has been neither well managed nor very successful in its efforts to put Hawaiians on their land in homes.

Opinion: part of this is due to the requirement that the "home" be fully permitted, which does not come cheap. For a fraction of the cost, anyone (native or otherwise) can afford a "substandard" agricultural lot which is not subject to these restrictions.

You should know by now that things don't get done in Puna but they do get done in north Kona-Kohala. The natives up by Waimea are faring much better than those in the supposedly more caring Puna.

Also, look at the Waimea Nui community plan. Who woulda thunk it, a community plan that does look like it is for the community, rather than a few special self interests. Some are getting greenhouses if they want to be hydroponic farmers. Look at the map on the last page and it will show why there is more concentration of effort (higher concentration of native Hawaiians):
