‘Ölelo a Ka luna ho‘omalu

Aloha mai käkou,

With social programs at risk and financial challenges rising in the face of the ongoing economic downturn, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs pledges to continue to support the admirable work of non-profit groups striving to improve the lives of Native Hawaiians.

We are dedicated to the proposition that as Hawaiians prosper, so will Hawai‘i.

As Hawaiians work to improve their lives in the key areas of health, economic self-sufficiency, and education, among others, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs has and will continue to focus our energies and grant funding on these key areas.

Highlighted in our 2011 Grants & Sponsorships Annual Report are grant awards totaling more than $12 million. These awards support numerous projects that have a direct impact on Native Hawaiians living in areas from Kapa‘a to Kïhei and from Waimänalo to Washington, D.C.

These grantees and many others breathe life into OHA’s mission and vision, which continue to guide us daily.

Systemic change will not be achieved quickly or easily. Patience, hard work, and dedication are needed. With this in mind, we can find promise in the eloquent words of a Hawaiian proverb, “ ‘A‘ohe hana nui ke alu ‘ia – No task is too big when done together by all.”

‘O wau nö me ka ha‘aha‘a,

Colette Y. MachadoChairperson, Board of Trustees

‘Ölelo a Ka luna ho‘oKele

Aloha käkou,

As the Office of Hawaiian Affairs seeks to fulfill its constitutional mandate to improve the conditions of all Native Hawaiians, I am proud to present the fiscal year 2011 Grants & Sponsorships Annual Report.

In fiscal year 2011, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs aligned the agency’s Community Grants Program with OHA’s 2010-2016 Strategic Plan. The Granting for Results Program emphasizes community partnerships to create positive systemic change in the lives of all Native Hawaiians.

In the year ending June 30, 2011, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs invested more than $12 million in communities across the State of Hawai‘i and, to a lesser extent, the continental U.S. Of that $12 million, approximately $4.6 million was awarded in support of programs for improving economic self-sufficiency, $3.6 million for education, $1.7 million for culture, $906,000 for health, $880,000 for land and water programs, and $340,000 for governance.

The success of OHA’s Grants Programs is revealed in the following pages; however, the numbers represent more than just dollar amounts. For us, they represent strategic investments in people – investments that enrich the lives of Native Hawaiian individuals, families, neighborhoods and, in turn, whole communities.

The effect is real and far-reaching, aligning with our results-based model to create broad, lasting change that all segments of the Native Hawaiian community will experience over time.

As the economy continues to recover from a recession second only to the Great Depression, the support system OHA provides has become increasingly vital. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs remains steadfast in its commitment to improving communities through its Grants Programs. We look forward to continuing to partner with nonprofits in ways that elevate the standing of the Native Hawaiian community at large.

Me ka ‘oia‘i‘o,

Clyde W. Nämu‘oChief Executive Officer

9 | 2011 office of hawaiian affairs grants & sponsorships annual report

IN fiscal year 2011, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) truly embarked on its Empowering

Hawaiians, Strengthening Hawai‘i 2010-2016 Strategic Plan by consolidating grant awards previously administered by a number of OHA divisions into one Transitional Assistance Program (TAP). This Strategic Plan set the foundation and created a blueprint to transform OHA into a performance-based organization.

The purpose of TAP is to provide via community partnerships access to social services through grants, and financial services through loans to Native Hawaiians so that they can transition toward economic security and stabilize their life situation. As stewards who follow in the footsteps of our Hawaiian ancestors, we strive to achieve our priorities of Ho‘okahua Waiwai (Economic Self-Sufficiency), ‘Äina (Land & Water), Mo‘omeheu (Culture), Mauli Ola (Health), Ea (Governance), and Ho‘ona‘auao (Education).

The revised Community Grants Program now funds proposals that are directly aligned with and impact one of OHA’s ten strategic results. This represents a huge change from our traditional community grants program. The Strategic Plan creates the start of an era filled with greater accountability, responsibility, performance reporting, openness, and transparency – and one that we know to be pono.

We are thus honored to share this Grants & Sponsorships Annual Report for fiscal year 2011.

Small-business dreams have become reality for Native Hawaiians on Hawai‘i Island who have received

assistance from the Hawai‘i First Federal Credit Union’s financial sustainability program, known as the Office of Hawaiian Affairs Individual Development Accounts Program.

The program kicked off in January 2009. Qualified applicants were given six to 12 months to save $1,000 of their money that was matched $4 to every $1 saved. More importantly, applicants received financial education and counseling

support. They learned to write a business plan and were assisted in marketing strategies.

For Mama’s House Thrift Store in Waimea, it’s meant supporting the community with workforce opportunities, helping community members get back on their feet and preventing drug and alcohol abuse.

“In economic times like this … just a little hint of hope makes a difference,” says Executive Director Beth Mehau. “And I think that’s what people get here is a feeling of hope.”

National studies have shown that children that are mentored are significantly more

likely to complete college and attain financial self-sufficiency. With support from an OHA grant, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Honolulu (BBBSH) helps Native Hawaiian youth realize their full potential through their School-Based Mentoring Program at 22 schools on O‘ahu and Kaua‘i.

BBBSH focuses on one-to-one mentoring. Each match is professionally supported by a case manager who provides coaching.

Volunteer mentors make a positive and lasting impact on local children by sharing their friendship, guidance, and support, while children develop greater confidence and an improved outlook on what they can achieve.

“On Kaua‘i, our youth are often faced with unique challenges that can disrupt their ability to realize their full potential,” says Kaulana Finn, Kaua‘i Big Brothers Big Sisters community director. “Our goal and mission is to be able to establish healthy one-on-one mentoring relationships, which will allow our youth to reach their potential and strive to reach their highest goals.”

The Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs (AHCC) is a confederation of 58 Hawaiian Civic Clubs

located throughout the State of Hawai‘i and in the states of Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Tennessee, and Texas. Its members unite to advocate for improved welfare of Native Hawaiians and provide a strong voice at the federal, state, and city levels. Prince Jonah Kühiö Kalaniana‘ole founded the first Hawaiian civic club in 1918, and today the civic clubs are recognized

as the oldest Hawaiian community-based grassroots organization.

In 2010, OHA supported AHCC’s 51st annual convention of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs in Keauhou, Kona. The convention’s theme was “He ali‘i ka ‘äina; he kauwä ke kanaka – The land is chief; man is its servant.”

The gathering provided civic club members an opportunity to discuss topics such as land use, natural resources, scholarships and education, perpetuation of culture, as well as recognize and celebrate individual contributions to the Hawaiian community and community as a whole.

Before Nä Pu‘uwai became licensed as an adult day care facility in 2010, many families on Moloka‘i had

to make the tough choice to send their küpuna off-island for care or quit their jobs to care for their elderly family member.

Through its Senior Enrichment Adult Day Care Center, Nä Pu‘uwai staff develop and offer küpuna a calendar chock-full of activities that include visits to the fitness center for low-impact exercise and stretches, tai chi, cognitive activities, and social stimulation. Küpuna look forward to going holoholo

to the Native Hawaiian Library, fishing, and visiting the high school to be a part of cultural celebrations.

Küpuna and keiki alike benefit from intergenerational learning and interaction during visits by the Tütü and Me Traveling Preschool program and the middle school Hawaiian Language Immersion Program.

OHA provided a grant to Nä Pu‘uwai to subsidize the cost of adult day care for Native Hawaiian küpuna, who make up seventy percent of the center’s participants.

ABOVE: Kïhei canoe club youngsters Jonathan sarol, left, Dustyn Matsuno, teata gutierrez, and Brandon Delapenia team to lash together a ko‘i, or adze, a canoe-carving tool in ancient hawai‘i.

Kïhei Canoe Club has been paddling the shores off South Maui for close to 40 years. Supported

by an OHA grant, the canoe club developed a program for youth between the ages of 5 and 19 that builds on its passion for outrigger canoe racing, teaches Hawaiian language, and instills cultural pride. More than 100 youth participated in the club’s Na‘auao I Na ‘Öpio O Maui program that included a 10-week ‘ölelo Hawai‘i course, learning oli, hula, and the proper traditional protocols for ceremonies.

Perhaps the most popular activity was the 13-mile cross-channel paddle

from Lahaina to Läna‘i, where youth did community service projects that included the restoration of an ancient village and fishpond and a watershed cleanup. Participants documented their experiences in crew journals written in ‘ölelo Hawai‘i.

The program culminated with youth sharing the valuable knowledge they have gained, from their hand-carved wooden paddles to ko‘i (adze) used for building canoes. ‘Anela Gutierrez, program director of Na‘auao I Na ‘Öpio O Maui, says the program builds knowledgeable youth. Says Gutierrez, “They have grown not only in the culture but in themselves.”

“we are just learning Läna‘i now,” says Kepä Maly, executive

director of the Läna‘i Culture and Heritage Center. He’s talking about a traditional cultural property study of the Ka‘ä ahupua‘a, the ahupua‘a at the northern part of the island.

“It helps to identify places that we know and the küpuna have identified as wahi pana, storied and sacred places on the landscape,” he says.

An archaeological survey for

cultural features is also part of the study. They have identified 111 cultural sites, including an incredible adze workshop and quarry area no one knew existed.

The goal is to have information available for people to make informed decisions on how we can best work respectfully with the landscape, he says.

The study, Hanohano Läna‘i – Läna‘i is Distinguished: An Ethnography of Ka‘ä Ahupua‘a and the Island of Läna‘i, can be found at www.lanaichc.org.
