RE: s.R. No. 12
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty—Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred
S.R. No. 12 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS
TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN HAWAIIAN CULTURAL CENTERS WITHIN
THE STATE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the
Office of Hawaiian Affairs to establish and maintain Hawaiian
cultural centers within the State.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Kokflau Foundation.
Your Committee finds that Native Hawaiians and their rich and
vibrant culture are what continues to make Hawaii unique and
different from other places in the world. However, your Committee
finds that despite the importance of Hawaiian culture in the
State, there are no public spaces solely dedicated to the practice
and perpetuation of Hawaiian culture. Therefore, this measure
requests the Office of Hawaiian Affairs to establish and maintain
Hawaiian cultural centers within the State.
affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
As
Committee on Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report,
your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 12
and recommends its adoption.
