PUKO‟A NATIVE HAWAIIAN UH SYSTEM ADVISORY COUNCIL
IS ADVISORY TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻ I
PŪKO‟A COUNCILwas named
For “A grain of coral eventually grows into land,” reflecting our desire to bring Native Hawaiians into Higher Education
PUKO‟A Executive Council has 2 representatives from the 10 Campuses
Each with their own council of Native Hawaiian Faculty.
PŪKO‟A HISTORY
During 2001, Native Hawaiians at the Mānoa campus formed the Kūaliʻ i Council, inviting all Hawaiians and Hawaiian serving programs to unite for greater advocacy for Native Hawns at UH Mānoa. In January 2002, Kūaliʻ hosted a System i wide retreat and the Pūkoʻ UH a System Native Hawaiian Advisory Council was formed.
KŪALI‟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 the people
KŪALIʻ & PŪKO‟A COUNCILS I
Since the Kūaliʻ Council is at UH i Mānoa and meets monthly, it does a lot of work in support of Pūkoʻ both at a, the flagship campus and at the legislature Also, since Kūaliʻ serves 20 different i Programs, as well as 28% of all Native Hawaiian students in the UH system, it has a larger budget request
CHALLENGES FOR NATIVE HAWAIIANS
*Hawaiians have more people in the prison system [9,101] than we do in all the UH System 10 campuses [8,155] *Have the lowest life expectancy & *The highest infant mortality
NATIVE HAWAIIANS ARE
of the population 47% of Known Offenders 37% of Prison Inmates 30% of the Homeless 28% of all Welfare Recipients Highest % of all races incarcerated
23%
NATIVE HAWAIIANS
Have some of the highest rates of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease Exceed the average unemployment rate on every major island Have larger households that any other ethnicity Have the highest number of teen pregnancies and unwed mothers
NATIVE HAWAIIANS
Have the highest number of children in Child Protective Services, who are being adopted out to non-Hawaiian families Have the highest number of children in special education classes Have only 3.2% of our people with a graduate or professional degree
CHALLENGES FOR HAWAIIANS Although we have lived in these islands for 100 generations, Native Hawaiians are marginalized in our own homeland.
PŪKO‟A COUNCIL believes that
Native Hawaiian access to Higher Education is the only solution to such challenges for Native Hawaiians.
PUKO‟A MISSION
1.
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.

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.
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.
PŪKO‟A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Pūko'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 once each year.
PUKO‟A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Pūko'a reaches decisions on policies and recommendations through its Executive Council, which meets monthly. The Pūko'a Executive Council has an administrator, but no chair, since all are equal, although there are chairs of various subcommittees.
PŪKO‟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.
In 2007, because of support from current UH President David McClain, & all the chancellors,
Pūkoʻ a Council received 54 FTE for the 10 campuses from the legislature
Pūkoʻa thanks Pres McClain for supporting

PŪKO‟A COUNCIL HOPES
that all Chancellors will support the various Pūkoʻ Biennium a Budget requests and make them a priority on their campuses.
CHALLENGES FOR HAWAIIANS
Native Hawaiians as a culture do not like to go where we are not wanted or invited, so as to avoid personal conflict and perhaps physical engagement. Hence, Native Hawaiians avoid western schools whenever possible, especially in the DOE, but also in the UH system.
PŪKO‟A COUNCIL RECOMMENDS
THAT THE PRESIDENT URGE The Chancellors to be proactive in asking faculty and directors to create plans to increase the numbers of Native Hawaiian students, faculty and staff in their departments, in fulfillment of the UHS Strategic Plan.
THE PÜKO'A COUNCIL ALSO RECOMMENDS THAT THE
PRESIDENT TAKE FOR ADOPTION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I BOARD OF REGENTS THE FOLLOWING PŪKOʻ A POLICIES:
POLICY 1: STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE STATUS OF NATIVE HAWAIIANS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I
I. INTRODUCTION The University of Hawai'i recognizes the unique political status Native Hawaiians have with the United States and Hawai'i State governments, respectively. Furthermore, the University of Hawai'i recognizes the important role it plays as a State institution of higher education in addressing societal and educational challenges facing Native Hawaiians as a political entity.
POLICY 1 CONTINUED
This policy establishes the administrative framework to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state statutes, rules, regulations, city and county ordinance, and provisions in the collective bargaining agreements relative to Native Hawaiians at the University of Hawai'i.
POLICY 1 CONTINUED
II. POLICY It is the policy of the University of Hawai'i: A. To provide positive system-wide executive support in the development, implementation and improvement of programs and services for Native Hawaiians. B. To increase representation of Native Hawaiians in all facets of the University of Hawai'i relative to the University's efforts on affirmative action and equal employment opportunities in its educational mission and as an employer.
POLICY 1 CONTINUED
C. To support full participation of Native Hawaiians in all initiatives and programs of the University. Such initiatives and programs may or may not be conducted exclusively for Hawaiians. D. To solicit actively consultation from Püko'a, the system wide council formed by Native Hawaiian faculty, staff and students.
POLICY 1 CONTINUED
The policy is consistent with the University of Hawai'i's strategic plan in the following ways: Providing Access to Quality Educational Experiences and Service to the State Responsiveness to State Needs Respect and Diversity Hawaiian, Asian, Pacific and International Role Special Identity
POLICY 1 CONTINUED
An increase of Native Hawaiian participation will benefit the University of Hawai'i by developing a resource that has not been fully utilized. This untapped resource will provide the University and the State with individuals who will contribute to the development and leadership of the State and the Nation. While many Native Hawaiian students are not assessed by their secondary schools to have high potential, they do exceptionally well when appropriate program and curriculum changes and support are provided. This policy will assist in raising the educational status of Native Hawaiians who are underrepresented throughout the University of Hawai'i. March 28, 2002
POLICY 2: STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE STATUS OF THE STUDY OF NATIVE HAWAIIAN ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I
I. INTRODUCTION The University of Hawai'i, as a system of campuses, recognizes that the State of Hawai'i has two official languages, Hawaiian and English. Furthermore, the University of Hawai'i recognizes that the Constitution of the State of Hawai'i requires unique promotion of the study of Hawaiian language, culture, and history for
POLICY 2 CONTINUED
everyone in the state, and has a moral obligation to protect the rights of Native Hawaiians to practice their traditional and customary rights which include their language, culture, and other aspects of their identity on lands occupied by the University of Hawai'i and elsewhere. (Hawai'i State Constitution: Article XV, section four; Article X, section four; Article XII, section seven).
POLICY 2 CONTINUED II. POLICY It is the policy of the University of Hawai'i: A. To provide for and promote the use of both of Hawaiian and English as languages of operation within the University of Hawai'i system for the people of Hawai'i.
POLICY 2 CONTINUED
B. To provide for the study of Hawaiian language, culture and history within the University of Hawai'i system with a level of support beyond that which it provides for the study of non-Hawaiian language, culture and history.
POLICY 2 CONTINUED
C. To encourage Native Hawaiians to practice their language, culture and other aspects of their traditional and customary rights throughout all University of Hawai'i campuses and provide specific Hawaiian environments and facilities for such activities.
POLICY 2 CONTINUED D. To address the needs of Native Hawaiians, the state of Hawai'i, and the world at large, in the area of Hawaiian language, culture and history through outreach. March 28, 2002
So that we may fulfill our dreams
For the next generation of Hawaiians
and into the 21st Century
E OLA MAU KA LAHUI HAWAI‟I A MAU LOA AKU
Let the Hawaiian People live forever
Let the Native People of the Earth live forever
