2 Association of'hawaiian Civic Clubs P. O. Box 1135 Honolulu, Hawai'I Aloha rnai kakou, On behalfofthe Board of Directors of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs and the Mainland Council.rnahalo to the people ofthese lands, thealaska Natives and especially the Eklutna Tribe; and welina to the delegates, alternates, members, and guests who are attending the 48 th Annual Convention. At the outset, let us mahalo the Mainland Council and Na Keiki 0 Hawaii HCC for their outstanding support in hosting this year's convention. I recently received a poem. It read: UWbatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it Boldness has genius, power and magic in it" (Goethe). We dream of nationhood; we dream ofa betterplace for our children,grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Our dreams may be their reality... but only we must have the boldness to do it! And so,here we are amidstan indigenouspeoplewho dreamed and who fulfilled theirdreamofselfdetermination. Look about us... an Alaskan Native Medical Center run by and for Alaskan Natives;an Alaskan Native Heritage Center; an Alaskan Native Federation; and an Alaskan Market Place. No doubt Alaska Natives have and continue to have challenges, but through dedication and will, they have achieved...as we have and will continue to achieve! Kuhio had a dream that his peoplewould one day be self-sufficient. That dream is being realized...look about us as we see new organizations sprouting up every day...native Hawaiians who want better for themselves and for their people. Pa'i, pa'i... congratulate ourselves on the great work we are doing. During this convention, let us learn from thealaska Native and, like them, let us build on our successes. Let ourvoices ring loud and clear about our dreams and aspirations. Let us design new pathways, as well as honor the wisdom of our kupuna, as we move forward together to a better place for our people. "E Holo Moana Kakou Imua!" "Nutes Tai Dathl" Leimomi Khan

As we proceed toward self-detennination by forming a Hawaiian government, we learn from those who took the journey before us, through their struggles, challenges, and achievements. Certainly, we continue to learn much, from our AlaskaNative community about perpetuating culture while forging the path to self-governance that will enlighten and inspireus in rebuilding our Hawaiian nation. We extend our mahalo nui loa for the continuous strong support you provide the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and our community toward passage of national legislation for federal recognition of Native Hawaiians. We are optimistic that we will achieve enactment in We say mahalo, also, for continued support in identifying and registering Native Hawaiians for KAU INOA. As of July 13, 2007, Hawai'i Maoli reported over-70,ooo KAU INOA registrations. Hawai'i Maoli, a creation of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, serves as the repository for these registrations whileprotecting confidentiality of this information. Native Hawaiians, in Hawai'i and away from our shores, have a daunting challenge as it relates to nation building to ensure that our deliberations are farsighted, discerning and disciplined and that our decisions furtherthe wellbeing for our 'oiwi Hawai"i, Given current circumstances and the evolving political, legal, economic and social landscape, Hawaiian decisions and actions are urgent. Decisions and actions by Hawaiians must also be informed and well grounded in our cultural values. Let us recall and act upon Queen Lili'uokalani's adviceof decades ago, "The world can not stand still. We must either advance or recede." Let us advance together, Hawaiians throughout our homeland, continent and the world, now,for generations to come. ',May our ancestors guide collective efforts to inspire and inform the decisions throughout this 48 th annual Convention, as we NativeHawaiians continue to moveforward together.

It was the kuleana of the Mainland Council to submit a theme which reflects our organization's relationship to the hosting 'aina. With the blessing of Ke Akua, na 'Aumakua and na kupuna we were able to come up with a theme that tied all of us as 'oiwi, to Alaska and its native peoples was the anniversary of the Hokille'a, and at our Mainland Council meeting we talked of the log used to create the Makali'i from Alaska, how appropriate that we would now be returning and would be able to once again give thanks and show appreciation for the gift they had given us. Through their gift, the art of Polynesian Voyaging and Wayfinding has now been rejuvenated throughout Polynesia.We've remembered our traditional way of voyaging, we're sharing it with our cousins, we're remembering where the real wealth lies, in the knowledge ofour ancestors. '" We can further the explorations that our ancestors started and stand amongst other First People. By initiating dialogue we can journey forward together and learn from one another, We're at a point in our history where we can chart our own course! We can turn our faces to our kupuna as they continue to provide wisdom and guidance as we chart our course and cautiously, yet firmly, journey into our future. 14 Mahalo piha Tina Cabiles Carden Hui 0 Hawai'i 0 Utah

Just as important, these fundraising activities provided opportunities for AKHSD to partner with Hui 0 Hawaii of San Diego. Ofparticular note,the two Hawaiian clubsofsan Diego co-sponsored the first and now annual Hawaiian CulturalArts Fair for the community of San Diego in July. This event provided not only ono local foods, Hawaiian entertainment,and vendors ofhawaiian goods,but also a variety ofworkshops that attendees could participate in. These included an imu workshop, where participants learned everything from the

15 preparation offire to uncovering and removing the kalua pig, hula, ukulele, ti-leaf lei weaving, lauhala, and feather flowers and kahilis over the course of this two day event. We look forward to continuing this joint effort in 2008 and beyond. Our major fundraisers included participation in Ho"olaule a, Alondra Park in July,and the Pacific Islander Festival, San Diego in September. Ahahui has also continued monthly gatherings for our lei hulu workshop begun last year through AHCC grant funds. Though the funding period was over, members wanted to continue projects already underway. Several members will participate in Lei Hulu ofcalifornia's graduation scheduled for November, 2007, where they will present and display their completed leis. Ahahui also continues its community service endeavors. In February we prepare meals for a social gathering for Hui 0 Hawaii. A display window featuring the arts and crafts of Hawaii once again provided cultural awareness to the community of San Diego as the library celebrated Pacific Islanders during the month of May. When we return from convention we will sponsor the annual Halloween Party for mentally disabled adults. This year two cultural arts scholarships were awarded to our opio. The first allowed helped with expenses to attend Kamehameha Schools Explorations Program andthe second,to participate in the two-day hula workshop at the Hawaiian CulturalArts Fair.

Here again, we have a cultural emersion in that the members do everything from start to finish. Our 2 nd annual ~a 'Ohana Olakino emphasized the importance of our Hawaiian health-what we have, what we lack and what we need to accomplish to bring us to the healthy and cultural forefront. Focusing on Hawaiian Protocol, the chant, hulacize (for our physical ritual), hula, with our kumu hula Pomaika'I Gaui; cancer with a stirring CD on facing, coping and surviving the disease, from Papa Ola Lokahi presented by member Momi Bone; nutrition, with Dr.Archana McEligot, also focusing on our youth who took notes (ages 5-11) and produced and wrote a script for a puppet show at our Hoike with Coordinator Paddy Kakihara. Our cultural arts also included lauhala weaving andti-leaf lei making with "Francis" andaunty Moanikeala. Our Hoike on the last morning was a production ofthe hula learned, accompanied by our musicians, the chants, which we all learned, and our keiki with their puppet production. Noe1aniJai, a pastor-in-training and a member,ended with a short Sunday Service asking Ke Akua to guide us in this quest we have of improving our health by education, recognition and prevention.

Supporting Efforts to Repair Essential WaterTank System: The club joined inwith other community members to secure funds from the legislature for the repair ofa water tank system that provides critically needed water to the community While individual homes in Miloli'i have cisterns for potable water, non-potable water for usc in toilets, gardens, construction, fishing, and otheruses comes from the community watertank. 'nus tank system had fallen into disrepair thus placing strain on the water supply of the community The Miloli'i area is extremely dry and as a result, tanks must be in good repair to collect as much rain water as possible during the raining season. If the tanks and pumping system are not usable, individual families have to pay for water to be shipped into the community; For a resource limited community; this expense can be too much. The Club helped to secure over $60,000 for the repair of the community tank and bids arc now being received for its repair. 2. Providing Canoes for the Use of Community Members in Recreational and Cultural Activities: Through a grant from Hawaii Mauoli, IDICC was able to restore two canoes for community use. The restoration of these two canoes has significantly benefited the people of Miloli'i by helping to restore the use of canoes as an integral part of our community life. Historically, the use of canoes for fishing and paddling was a key feature of life in Miloli'i. Until recently, the canoes were all butgone. Now through this funding and other project funds a total of four canoes have been restored ornearing completion for community use.this includes two opelu fulling canoes, two contemporary racing canoes and a koa racing canoe that was built in the nineteen twenties.hhcc has been making the canoes available for community use. 'This has included use by youth during the Summer Fun Educational camp and use by community members and ohana for ocean memorials. 111e HHCC plans to eventually organize a regular canoe paddling dub that 'will use the contemporary racing canoes. The 11liCC and our partner Pa'a Pono Miloli'i is also sponsoring a traditional fishing program during opelu fishing season. During this program, youth are taught how to fish traditionally for opelu and use the fishing canoes during the course.

Mainland Thomas Kalama During the late 1950'S Noah Kalama, Thomas' father. co;;'templated relocating to Southern California, specifically in Costa Mesa. There were conversations with various watermen in Hawaii regarding establishment of outrigger canoeing in California. This convinced Noah that his own thinking along these lines needed to be considered. Therefore. once the Kalama 'Ohana was settled, the dream of outrigger canoeing in California was born, Thomas Kalama is presently fulfilling the 43 dream. There are 'opio and makua, na kane and na wahine, beginners and old timers teaching, exhorting and coaxing those whose interests lie with the hoe wa'a canoe paddling. They are being taught respect for the ocean, the equipment and each other. They are being shown how to care for the canoes, how to rig t.he craft for safe passage and how to protect the wa'a-- when they are not in the water. Thomas and his fellow tutors can be found each day in the upper reaches of Newport Bay with beginners and experienced paddlers alike striving for excellence in activities their ancestors depended upon for their very existence. The dream of Papa Noah lives on; Thomas Kalama lives each dav with that dream. ' Ainahau 0 Kaleponi HCC is extremely proud of Thomas' commitment to the Newport Beach Outrigger Canoe Club. In spite of the time he spends with them, he still remains loyal to the Ainahau activities which he has always been a part of. "i;:j\a,a~'i Council Arthur M. Mahi Seventy four years ago, hanau ia 0 Arthur Mike'ele Mahi to Mike'ele Mahi and Kahuawai Kuakahela. "Uncle Aka", as he's known today, WaS immediately taken from his parents by his grandfather, Keau Kuakahela and grandmother, Ka'ai'ai, because thatwas the thingto do in those days. Traditio~al up-bringing, by one's kupuna, Uncle s shoreline stomping grounds are now owned by the state ofhawaii and private developments. The lands he was raised on are, today, unaccessible to him and traditional 'ohana that lived and died on the lands ofhaleohiu, Ho'ona, vva"'<lloli, Kukio and Makalawena... to name a few. Arthur grew into a fine young Hawaiian, as a member of the Bov Scouts in Kona and other community oi~llizations and clubs. He joined the army and saw action in Korea, Germany, Russia, and other places in the world. This relationship with the military, encouraged Arthur to seek a permanent r~stin~.placefor all veterans ofwar. Through his dihgent hard work and support of his wife, Theresa Philip-Mahi. he was very instrumental in bringing to fruition the West Hawaii Veteran's Cemetery in Kona. Joining the Kona Hawaiian Civic Club was and continues to be an experience for Uncle Aka, although he confesses that it's a "little more better now". In the early days of organization, Arthur remembers meeting at peoples houses.,.he nam~s a fev.: that are no longer alive: Lilmokalam Morns, Maryann Warf.'ield, Irma Chillingworth, Way.ne McNico.ll, Johnny Spencer, Clara Kahurnoku.,.These are the people that put the Kona HCC on the map.
