Aloha CNHA Members and Policy Leaders:
One of our CNHA members, Blossom Feiteira  sent the attached letter to DHHL Director Nahalea.  It relates directly to one of the policy priorities of the Native Hawaiian Policy Center, which is notification and information to beneficiaries about DHHL intentions to utilize trust lands for non-homesteading purposes prior to taking land actions to the Hawaiian Homes Commission for action.  
I think Blossom eloquently shares what many of you have shared over the years.  I also want to thank all of you for working on the Land Use Policy, that if DHHL adopts any part of it, will address most concerns shared by beneficiary leaders.  Mahalo Blossom for sharing your heartfelt manao with the new DHHL Chairman, and also for sharing it with the CNHA policy center!
