I joined the Pacific Island Association "PIA". My first meeting was nice. So many cultures in one room. It was a potluck. The food was great. I ate my first raw fish. I really liked it. MMMM
My girlfriend and her husband went with me. They joined the same day I did. I found out there is a Northwest Hawai Times. Go to www.northwesthawaiitimes.com and you will see the news. Surprising to read; Senator Barack Obama was born in Honolulu who supports the Akaka Bill aka as the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act, which would give Native Hawaiians the right to form a governing entity, enabling it to negotiate with the state and federal governments over control of natural resources, lands and assets.
