PUKO’A NATIVE HAWAIIAN
UH SYSTEM ADVISORY
COUNCIL
IS ADVISORY TO THE
PRESIDENT OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI
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 Kūaliʻi
Council, inviting all Hawaiians and
Hawaiian serving programs to unite for
greater advocacy for Native Hawns at
UH Mānoa.
In January 2002, Kūaliʻi hosted a System
wide retreat and the Pūkoʻa UH 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
KŪALIʻI & PŪKO’A COUNCILS
Since the Kūaliʻi Council is at UH
Mānoa and meets monthly, it does a lot
of work in support of Pūkoʻa, both at the
flagship campus and at the legislature
Also, since Kūaliʻi serves 20 different
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
 23%
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
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,
Pūkoʻa 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 Pūkoʻa Biennium
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 PŪKOʻA

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.

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

faculty, staff and students.

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,
