Partnership of business and Hawaiian interest groups to assist the Hawaiian community to become healthy, prosperous and self-sustaining. "Working at Alu Like really made me stronger in my Hawaiian values and the aloha spirit... That caring attitude and that really coming from the heart to want to help... I know I've given my time too, but I felt like I got a lot back from working here. I've learned what it means to be pono (moral or proper). I hope to continue to learn as much as I can, become more professional and learn more skills. Just so I can use my degree and hopefully contribute to society and the community." -- Janel Kanoho, 26 year old volunteer who contributed over 400 hours of service to Alu Like's (Ex-)Offender program.

Rice vs. Cayetano
Links to the two opposing viewpoints.
The case brought by fifth-generation Hawaii resident Harold "Freddy" Rice challenged the state of Hawaii's process of electing OHA trustees. Rice asserted this procedure violated the 14th and 15th Amendments which established the "one-person, one-vote" principle barring the government from denying the right to vote "on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." In 1996, a Federal District Court ruled against Rice and this decision was upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It found OHA's voting restriction was "not primarily racial, but legal and political." Mr. Rice, with the support of "Campaign for a Color-Blind America," has appealed the Ninth Circuit's decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. The case was heard by the Supreme Court on October 6, 1999. Go to Honolulu Star-Bulletin:February 23, 2000: Top Court Backs Rice in OHA Vote Challenge to read how Hawaii's law restricting OHA trustee selection to Hawaiians was struck down.
The adverse decision in the Rice vs. Cayetano case is having far-reaching effects on all Native Hawaiian programs -- from sovereignty initiatives to ceded land revenues. It is imperative that Native Hawaiians understand what is at stake...and the ramifications of this decision to the future of the Hawaiian people.
