Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Tourism and Culture, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 76, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA) to establish a formal policy on supporting Native Hawaiian culture and arts, primarily focusing on perpetuating and promoting Native Hawaiian culture and arts for the benefit of visitors and residents alike.

The SFCA testified in support of this measure, and stated that although such a policy is already in place, they will commit to doing better, both from a policy-making and programmatic perspective.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism and Culture that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 76, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
