The Board of Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs manages the agencyʻs trust and sets policy.

“We can honor our culture while ensuring beneficiaries can afford to remain home in Hawaii.”

“The military should pay fair market rent for the use of these lands, and I do not support the continued use of live explosives on them.”

“OHA needs to get out of Kaka’ako Makai ASAP and receive fair compensation from the State of Hawai’i either in cash or through a land swap.”

“Funds should support cultural stewardship, environmental restoration, education, and Native Hawaiian-led science and training programs.”

“OHA and DHHL serve many of the same beneficiaries, and we need to create more opportunities to work together.”

“Trust must be earned, integrity must be demonstrated, and beneficiaries deserve nothing less.”

“Tension between trustees and administrators is longstanding, but it can be repaired.”

“While I believe OHA should be doing more for housing of Native Hawaiians, it is not OHA’s responsibility to help fund DHHL.”

“We uplift people by supporting small farms, restoring streams, strengthening local food systems, and giving workers paid training that builds long‑term skills.”
