Back to topic, this comment on the Tribune Herald article is worth consideration:
http://hawaiitribune-herald.com/news/loc...qus_thread
I'm most interested in the fact that the intent is to identify health and safety issues, yet see a dearth of Hawaiian health resources as participants and consultants. Always grateful for the good works of these community-based and environmental organizations, there is a well-established Native Hawaiian Health Board in Papa Ola Lôkahi, a Native Hawaiian Health Care System on Hawai'i Island in Hui Mâlama Ola Na ‘Ôiwi, a Dept. of Native Hawaiian Health at UH medical school, and an entire arena of researchers in the Hawaiian health arena and Hawaiian-serving health organizations throughout the pae ‘âina. If the existing commission overlooked the kanaka maoli community the first time around, perhaps its wisest move would be to step back and let the Hawaiian health community assess its own needs, issues and strengths with the approved budget.
