THE HONORABLE DAVID IGE
Governor, State of Hawaii
THE HONORABLE SHAN TSUTSUI
Lieutenant Governor, State of Hawaii
THE HONORABLE CARMEN HULU LINDSEY
Trustee, Office of Hawaiian Affairs
Dear Governor Ige, Lieutenant Governor Tsutsui, Trustee Lindsey,
Native Hawaiian Recognition is a primary and proximate cause of
conflict, dissention, consternation, contentiousness and dysfunction
within the State of Hawaii. Respectfully, the accomplishment of Native
Hawaiian Recognition requires the conceptual blending and
implementation of:
(a) carpe diem - take full advantage of present opportunities,
(b) ho`oulu lāhui aloha – raising a beloved nation, and
(c) kūulu ke kea kanaloa – Kaho`olawe,
(d) imua - moving forward, proactively, positively overcoming
barriers and obstacles with innovative, knowledge-based
solutions, minimizing risks, maximizing successful
achievement built on and dedicated to excellence.
Many have traveled their road and pathways. Many resources
have been expended to reach this goal. Success is, thus far, elusive.
The opportunity was presented. The goal of raising the beloved
nation is stated. The hale (home) is identified. Living in the moment has
raised awareness. Now is the time to move forward with courage, unity
of purpose and vision.
“Me ka hoopoina ole i na pomaikai i loaa i keia aupuni, e pule
kakou i loaa ai ke kupono o ka hoomauia a me ka hoonuiia o
keia pomaikai. A e lilo ko oukou mau noonoo ma ke alakai
makaala ana no ka pono o ka lehulehu, a e loaa ka hopena
kokua no ka pomaikai a me ka holomua o ko kakou aina i
aloha nui ia.”

2. “While not unmindful of the blessings which have been granted
to this Nation, let us pray that we may deserve to have them
continued and increased. May your deliberations be guided
by an eye single to the National welfare, and may their results
be conducive to the prosperity and progress of our beloved
country.”

IMUA is the word for today, tomorrow and the future of Native
Hawaiian Recognition. Achievable, Yes.
KAHO`OLAWE “Kūulu ke kea Kanaloa” is the place for unification.
KAHO`OLAWE is the place to build and raise the beloved nation.
KAHO`OLAWE is the place for the center of learning to preserve, protect,
maintain and restore traditional Native Hawaiian culture, traditional
spiritual customs, beliefs and practices of our kapuna (ancestors) to
share with all who share and believe in the Spirit of Aloha.
Please refer to http://www.oahu.us/kahoolawe.htm
We look to you, our stewards, to implement the necessary and
needed changes, establish standards of excellence, set the new direction
and launch the voyagers on a course on Native Hawaiian Recognition for
and in behalf of the people of Hawaii.
We welcome an invitation to join you on your Journey of a Lifetime.
A crowning achievement for Hawaii and our neighbors across the 7 Seas.
Let the Great Makahiki begin!

Clifton M. Hasegawa
