A Message from Dean Matsuoka
I am very pleased to announce that this year is our school's 70th
anniversary. From the time of its inception, the school has produced
thousands of professionally trained social workers who have con-
tributed to the well-being of society in big and small ways. The
value of our contributions to Hawai`i is immeasurable.
We have gone through several stages during the course of our
school's evolution and development. For many years we pursued an
identity that emulated other reputable schools across the country.
While this strategy provided us with good stead, we did not seek or
embrace those aspects of our unique cultural heritage that made us
outstanding.
Following a series of faculty retreats in the spring, we decided to
move in the direction of indigenizing our approach to social work
education. Explicitly stated in our School's Mission is a commitment
to Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander social issues. As a
result, we recently organized a council of distinguished kupuna to advise us in this process. The
council is comprised of Richard and Lynette Paglinawan, Earl Kawa`a, Dennis Kauahi, and Puanani
Burgess. They will guide our faculty as we reconsider our teaching and learning modalities, research
methods and ways of knowing, and models of practice.
Over the past several months we have been meeting with Native Hawaiian organizations
including the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), Queen Lili`uokalani Children's Center (QLCC),
Kamehameha Schools, and the Council on Native Hawaiian Advancement. The purpose of these
meetings is to explore opportunities for collaboration through student practicum placements, staff
development and training, joint research and scholarly activities, and the promotion of public poli-
cies benefiting Native Hawaiians.
The end of this anniversary year will culminate in the holding of a conference entitled,
"Indigenous Voices in Social Work: Not Lost in Translation." We are sponsoring this conference with
OHA, QLCC, and Hale Na`au Pono of Wai`anae. The confer-
ence will be held at the Makaha Resort and will bring
together academicians and practitioners from the
Pacific Region and North America.
Finally, I want to pay homage to Uncle
Eddie Ka`anana who passed away in July. I
first met Uncle Eddie in 1990 when we were
fighting against development near Miloli`i,
"The Last Hawaiian Fishing Village." A
native of Miloli`i, he was renowned for his
knowledge of Hawaiian culture and lan-
guage. Most knew him as the wise and
gentle kupuna. I also knew him as a war-
rior who passionately defended this `aina
and its cultural traditions. He touched so
many of our lives and he will continue to
inspire us as we carry on.
Aloha,
Jon K. Matsuoka, Dean
