Alaska-Hawaii ties stir controversy among Natives
MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2003
Two Native Hawaiian women who grew up in Alaska have generated debate about Alaska's influence on the Native Hawaiian sovereignty movement.
Though their mother was Native Hawaiian and their father white, Robin and Jade Danner were raised in an Inupiat community. They have many relatives and family among the Inupiats.
Those ties helped the sisters create the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement. Modeled after the Alaska Federation of Natives, the group receives a large share of its funding from Alaska Native corporate entities. Since its formation in 2001, it has become a leading supports of a bill that would recognize a Native Hawaiian government. AFN also supports the bill.
But critics say the Danner sisters and their group are a front for Alaska's oil industry. Arctic Power, a pro-drilling group, funneled money to the Hawaii to encourage Native Hawaiians not to get involved in the debate over development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Jade was paid by Arctic Power to support drilling, The Anchorage Daily News reported.
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens (R) supports the Native Hawaiian bill. But critics say he wants to set up a corporate model like he did for Alaska's Natives. The Danner sisters say they are not close to Stevens.

Note:
Anyone born in the Hawaiian Islands calls themselves "Native Hawaiians" since the passage of the Rice vs. Cayetano case in 2000. The article from indianz.com was dated 2003 which means the Danners were born in the Hawaiian Islands and identified themselves as Native Hawaiians and does not necessarily mean that they are kanaka maoli.

Hawaiian Companies Enjoy Federal Contract Preferences
Federal contract preferences are adding muscle to Native Hawaiian-owned businesses’ economic development, according to theHawaii Reporter.
Authorized in 2003 by Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, a longtime friend of Alaska’s late Sen. Ted Stevens, Native Hawaiian organizations (NHOs) gained access to the same contracting preferences awarded to Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs), who have obtained nearly $30 billion in non-bid or limited competition government contracts since 2000.
Preferential treatment under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program has secured NHOs about $500 million in non-bid or reduced competition government contracts since 2005, according to federal purchasing records. The Super 8(a) program allows non-profit NHOs to own for-profit subsidiaries as long as the money is forwarded to the parent company.
“Native Hawaiian Organizations, like their Alaskan counterparts, are vital economic engines and do much to improve the financial prospects of indigenous people,” Inouye toldHawaii Reporter.
But some NHO executives participating in the 8(a) program fear rising controversy over alleged contract abuse by ANCs and reform legislation authored by U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., could jeopardize their unique status.
“We’re concerned about all the criticisms and threats, but the biggest concern is what can do?” Christopher M. Dawson, co-director of Native Hawaiian Corp., said to theHawaii Reporter. “This program may go away. It’s kind of teetering on which way it’s going to go. It’s pretty scary.”
Robin Danner, president of Native Hawaiian company Nuvuk Construction, LLC, co-owned by an Alaska Native Corporation, has received copy1.9 million in federal contracts since 2005, according to federal records. She charges McCaskill’s bill “is about taking down the success (of) a group of American companies that aren’t supposed to be successful, better not be successful, Native Americans in particular,” said Danner, also head of the Native Hawaiian Economic Alliance, Inc., toHawaii Reporter.
Like many Hawaiian companies putting money into politicians protecting their unique contracting status, Danner and her relatives have donated $6,000 to Inouye, Sen. Daniel Akaka and Congresswoman-elect Colleen Hanabusa since 2006.

About Michelle Kauhane:
"Michelle Kauhane has served as Executive Director of Hawaiian Community Assets (HCA) since 2006. HCA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and HUD Certified Housing Counseling Agency with a particular focus on serving Native Hawaiians.
Kauhane is a graduate of Kamehameha Schools and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations from Gonzaga University. She also serves the community as a board member of the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA); Board Chair of the Native Hawaiian Policy Center of CNHA; former Board President of the Honolulu Habitat for Humanity; board member, National Coalition of Asian Pacific Community Development; Vice President, O’ahu Moku Puni Council; and is the President of the Kaupe’a Homestead Association."
Note: Appointed to a Hawaiian Home Lands position by Gov. Abercrombie, became a whistleblower for exposing the Attorney General's office who would give her a position with the homeless under Colin Kippin at the expense of Hawaiian Home funds amounting to $85,000, she was fired a few days later.
In 2014, Michelle Kauhane became the President and CEO of the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement and in alignment with Danner and Company.
"Recently the Federal government (through the Department of Interior) announced that it was looking into reestablishing a government to government relationship with the native Hawaiian community, and the Honolulu Star Advertiser reports that supporters from both sides have been out in full force across the state."
Note: Michelle Kauhane's research is incomplete.
In history, "A native Hawaiian, Senator J. Kauhane, serving as Vice President of the Republic Senate, voted for annexation. He was the only Senator who seemed to be a native Hawaiian by virtue of a Hawaiian last name."
"About 29,000 native Hawaiians submitted to Congress a "monster petition" of 1897, protesting American annexation."
Also, there was a Kauhane (k) who was an adopted son of Bennett Namakeha, the first husband of Kapiolani, who became Queen Kapiolani married to King David Kalakaua After her husband died.
Appears that there may be a significant connection.
Research incomplete.
