RE: S.C.R. No. 50
S.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2022
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 50, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE WAIANAE MOKU KUPUNA COUNCIL AS AN ADVISORY RESOURCE TO THE ELECTED MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII REPRESENTING THE WAIANAE MOKU COMMUNITY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to
designate the Waianae Moku Kupuna Council as an advisory resource to the
elected members of the Legislature representing the Waianae Moku community.
Your Committee finds
that kupuna have long held respected and revered places in Hawaii's households,
families, and communities. Your Committee
further finds that the Waianae Moku Kupuna Council, which consists of long-time
residents of west Oahu who are Hawaiian cultural practitioners sixty years of
age or older, is a valuable resource of historical and cultural knowledge about
the Waianae Moku community. This measure
encourages elected members of the Legislature who represent the Waianae Moku
community to consult with the Waianae Moku Kupuna Council on issues that are of
importance to the Waianae Moku community.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 50, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs,
