  10. HAWAIIAN STUDENTS

  11. HAWAIIAN STUDENTS BY ISLAND

  12. CHALLENGES FOR HAWAIIAN STUDENTS • Of 75,000 Hawaiians in DOE schools, only 5% will go to college • 50% of UHM freshman drop out within the 1st 2 years • Hawaiians are 23% of the population, but 45% of the prisons

  13. PUKO’A VISION • We, the Känaka Maoli within the University of Hawai’i system, are the Native people of this land, unique by virtue of our ancestral ties to the ‘äina, our history, language, culture, knowledge and spirituality.

  14. PUKO’A VISION • Püko’a envisions a University of Hawai’i committed to the empowerment, advancement and self-determination of Känaka Maoli, through distinctly Hawaiian instruction, research and service.

  15. PUKO’A VISION • Therefore, Püko’a promotes the superior development of all aspects of Känaka Maoli identity, including a pono spiritual, intellectual, cultural, economic and social well-being. • Kamakaküokalani, March 28, 2002

  16. PUKO’A MISSION • Increase the number of Native Hawaiian students, faculty, staff and administration in the university system to 23%, which mirrors the percentage of Hawaiians in Hawai’i’s general population.

  17. PUKO’A MISSION 2. Promote a high standard of excellence in the study of Hawaiian language and culture.. 3. Advocate for parity for Native Hawaiians and Native Hawaiian serving programs. 4. Insure integrity in the use of funds designated for Native Hawaiians.

  18. PUKO’A MISSION 5. Assist the university in leveraging appropriate funding for Native Hawaiian programs. 6. Increase collaboration and partnerships between the University of Hawai'i campuses.

  19. NAMING OF THE PÜKO’A COUNCIL “He Puko’a e kani ai ka ‘Aina” - “A grain of coral eventually grows into land.”

  20. NAMING OF THE PÜKO’A COUNCIL A more figurative interpretation is “A Coral head calling out to the Land;” coral being the first child of the male and female primordial essence and the beginning of life in the Hawaiian cosmogony.

  21. NAMING OF THE PÜKO’A COUNCIL The UH- System Wide Native Hawaiian Council was named Püko’a for the above ÿÖlelo Noÿeau, or ancestral proverb, to describe our work at the University of Hawai’i.

  22. NAMING OF THE PÜKO’A COUNCIL Another shorter version of that proverb is, “Püko’a Kani ÿÄina: A Hard Rock of the Land.” Said of a strong fighter who overcomes opposition but is himself impossible to overcome.

  23. PUKO’A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Püko'a's membership is open to the faculty and staff of the University of Hawai'i system's Native Hawaiian serving programs, and to Native Hawaiians who teach or on staff in other university programs and departments. The membership meets twice each year.

  24. PUKO’A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Püko'a has no elected officers and reaches decisions on policies and recommendations through its executive council, which meets every other month.

  25. PUKO’A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The membership of each campus elects two representatives to the Püko'a Executive Council, providing equal representation for each campus, whether it is a community college or four-year university.

  26. PUKO’A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE All members can attend executive council meetings, but only the elected representatives or their proxies can vote. The executive council approves motions and policies in the traditional Hawaiian way, by consensus.

  46. PUKO’A HISTORY • During 2001, through the leadership of Dr. Kame’eleihiwa, the Manoa campus began ot hold meetings inviting all Hawaiians and Hawaiian serving programs to sit at the table and discuss how UH Manoa could better address Native Hawaiian issues. • The Kuali’i UHM Native Hawaiian Advisory Council was formed.

  47. KUALI’I WAS A HIGH CHIEF OF O’AHU IN 1700 AD • Equally adept at administration, war & caring for the people • Unified O’ahu, Moloka’i, Kaua’i & Ni’ihau into the Northern kingdom • Built many fishponds & lo’I kalo to feed people

  48. PUKO’A HISTORY • In May 2001, Dr. Kame’eleihiwa decided to prepare a budget request for the Kuali’I Council to present to the new President, Evan Dobelle. She submitted the Kamakakuokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies standard request for $1.5 M, and invited other Manoa Programs to do the same. • Unfortunately, for various reasons, no other program was ready to submit their requests in time for an initial meeting with President Dobelle on July 1, 2001.

  49. PUKO’A HISTORY • Two weeks later, many of us attended a meeting with President Dobelle where he informed us that he had $1.5 M that he could give for Hawaiian Initiatives, $500,000 up front and the remainder in the following year. • He was specifically asked “who” this money was for, and he replied since Manoa asked, Manoa would receive it. He also added,” but sharing is good.”

  50. PUKO’A HISTORY • Subsequently, in September 2001, UH Hilo Ka Haka ‘Ula o Ke’elikolani College of Hawaiian Language was promised another $500,000. • Please see the attached spreadsheet for allocation of Dobelle Initiative funds for UHM
