Hawaiiana amendment

Narrative announcement from Delegate Harris: "Of the 17 departments of the state government, the Department of Hawaiian Homes Lands is the only department not funded by the general revenues of the state. It is time for the state to fund this department and to fulfill its role in realizing the promise of the Hawaiian Homes Act, a responsibility that was a condition of statehood. It is also time for us to realize that the sooner we help to make the Hawaiian Homes Act a reality, the sooner we will be relieved of this financial and moral duty. Isn’t this a far cry from the original intention'of the act from getting the Hawaiians back to the land that is their own?"
