NAMING OF THE PÜKO’A COUNCIL
“He Puko’a e kani ai ka ‘Aina” - “A grain of coral eventually
grows into land.”
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.
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.
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.
PUKO’A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREPüko'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.
PUKO’A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREPüko'a has no elected officers
and reaches decisions on policies and recommendations through its executive council, which meets every other month.
PUKO’A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREThe 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.
PUKO’A ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREAll 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.

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.
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
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.
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.”
PUKO’A HISTORY
Subsequently, in September 2001, UH Hilo Ka Haka ‘Ula o Ke’elikolani College of Hawaiian Language was promised another $500,000.

PUKO’A HISTORY
In January 2002, the UHM Kuali’i Council invited Native Hawaiian representatives from every campus in the UH system to come to a retreat in Malaekahana, O’ahu to discuss Native Hawaiian disparities, under representation and the long forgotten 1986 Ka’u Report.
60 Hawaiian professors, counselors, administrators, students and non-Hawaiian supporters met for 3 days and formed the Puko’a Council.
PUKO’A HISTORY
In the spirit of the UH System Strategic Plan’s Ahupua’a concept, only Puko’a has made a successful effort in representing from the mountain to sea, an extensive and exhaustive plan, that touches numerous programs, highlights and addresses basic needs on all campuses, and unifies these campuses into one ahupua’a. Also at this retreat, a five year plan and budget was prepared for UH system.

THE PÜKO'A COUNCIL ALSO RECOMMENDS THAT THE
UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I BOARD OF REGENTS
ADOPT THE FOLLOWING 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 under-represented 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
