To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
of 1965 to improve Native Hawaiian education programs,
and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Native Hawaiian Edu-
cation Reauthorization Act’’.
SEC. 2. NATIVE HAWAIIAN EDUCATION.
Part B of title IX of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.) is amend-
ed to read as follows:
‘‘PART B—NATIVE HAWAIIAN EDUCATION
‘‘SEC. 9201. SHORT TITLE.
‘‘This part may be cited as the ‘Native Hawaiian
Education Act’.
‘‘SEC. 9202. FINDINGS.
‘‘Congress finds the following:
‘‘(1) Native Hawaiians are a distinct and
unique indigenous people with a historical continuity
to the original inhabitants of the Hawaiian archi-
pelago, whose society was organized as a nation and
internationally recognized as a nation by the United
States, Britain, France, and Japan, as evidenced by
treaties governing friendship, commerce, and naviga-
tion.
‘‘(2) At the time of the arrival of the first non-
indigenous people in Hawaii in 1778, the Native Ha-
waiian people lived in a highly organized, self-suffi-
cient subsistence social system based on a communal
land tenure system with a sophisticated language,
culture, and religion.
‘‘(3) A unified monarchal government of the
Hawaiian Islands was established in 1810 under Ka-
mehameha I, the first King of Hawaii.
‘‘(4) From 1826 until 1893, the United States
recognized the sovereignty and independence of the
Kingdom of Hawaii, which was established in 1810
under Kamehameha I, extended full and complete
diplomatic recognition to the Kingdom of Hawaii,
and entered into treaties and conventions with the
Kingdom of Hawaii to govern friendship, commerce,
and navigation in 1826, 1842, 1849, 1875, and
1887.
‘‘(5) In 1893, the sovereign, independent, inter-
nationally recognized, and indigenous government of
Hawaii, the Kingdom of Hawaii, was overthrown by
a small group of non-Hawaiians, including United
States citizens, who were assisted in their efforts by
the United States Minister, a United States naval
representative, and armed naval forces of the United
States. Because of the participation of United States
agents and citizens in the overthrow of the Kingdom
of Hawaii, in 1993 the United States apologized to
Native Hawaiians for the overthrow and the depriva-
tion of the rights of Native Hawaiians to self-deter-
mination through Public Law 103–150 (107 Stat.
1510).
‘‘(6) In 1898, the joint resolution entitled ‘Joint
Resolution to provide for annexing the Hawaiian Is-
lands to the United States’, approved July 7, 1898
(30 Stat. 750), ceded absolute title of all lands held
by the Republic of Hawaii, including the government
and crown lands of the former Kingdom of Hawaii,
to the United States, but mandated that revenue
generated from the lands be used ‘solely for the ben-
efit of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands for
educational and other public purposes’.
‘‘(7) By 1919, the Native Hawaiian population
had declined from an estimated 1,000,000 in 1778
to an alarming 22,600, and in recognition of this se-
vere decline, Congress enacted the Hawaiian Homes
Commission Act, 1920 (42 Stat. 108), which des-
ignated approximately 200,000 acres of ceded public
lands for homesteading by Native Hawaiians.
‘‘(8) Through the enactment of the Hawaiian
Homes Commission Act, 1920, Congress affirmed
the special relationship between the United States
and the Native Hawaiians, which was described by
then Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane,
who said: ‘One thing that impressed me . . . was the
fact that the natives of the island who are our
wards, I should say, and for whom in a sense we are
trustees, are falling off rapidly in numbers and
many of them are in poverty.’.
‘‘(9) In 1938, Congress again acknowledged the
unique status of the Hawaiian people by including in
the Act of June 20, 1938 (52 Stat. 781, chapter
530; 16 U.S.C. 391b, 391b–1, 392b, 392c, 396,
396a), a provision to lease lands within the National
Parks extension to Native Hawaiians and to permit
fishing in the area ‘only by native Hawaiian resi-
dents of said area or of adjacent villages and by visi-
tors under their guidance.’.
‘‘(10) Under the Act entitled ‘An Act to provide
for the admission of the State of Hawaii into the
Union’, approved March 18, 1959 (73 Stat. 4), the
United States transferred responsibility for the ad-
ministration of the Hawaiian Home Lands to the
State of Hawaii but reaffirmed the trust relationship
between the United States and the Hawaiian people
by retaining the exclusive power to enforce the trust,
including the power to approve land exchanges and
amendments to such Act affecting the rights of
beneficiaries under such Act.
‘‘(11) In 1959, under the Act entitled ‘An Act
to provide for the admission of the State of Hawaii
into the Union’, the United States also ceded to the
State of Hawaii title to the public lands formerly
held by the United States, but mandated that such
lands be held by the State ‘in public trust’ and re-
affirmed the special relationship that existed be-
tween the United States and the Hawaiian people by
retaining the legal responsibility to enforce the pub-
lic trust responsibility of the State of Hawaii for the
betterment of the conditions of Native Hawaiians, as
defined in section 201(a) of the Hawaiian Homes
Commission Act, 1920.
‘‘(12) The United States has recognized and re-
affirmed that—
‘‘(A) Native Hawaiians have a cultural,
historic, and land-based link to the indigenous
people who exercised sovereignty over the Ha-
waiian Islands, and that group has never relin-
quished its claims to sovereignty or its sov-
ereign lands;
‘‘(B) Congress does not extend services to
Native Hawaiians because of their race, but be-
cause of their unique status as the indigenous
people of a once sovereign nation as to whom
the United States has established a trust rela-
tionship;
‘‘(C) Congress has also delegated broad
authority to administer a portion of the Federal
trust responsibility to the State of Hawaii;
‘‘(D) the political status of Native Hawai-
ians is comparable to that of American Indians
and Alaska Natives; and
and develop supplemental educational programs to
address the unique conditions of Native Hawaiians.
‘‘(16) In 1993, the Kamehameha Schools
Bishop Estate released a 10-year update of findings
of the Native Hawaiian Educational Assessment
Project, which found that despite the successes of
the programs established under title IV of the Au-
gustus F. Hawkins-Robert T. Stafford Elementary
and Secondary School Improvement Amendments of
1988, many of the same educational needs still ex-
isted for Native Hawaiians. Subsequent reports by
the Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate and other
organizations have generally confirmed those find-
ings. For example—
‘‘(A) educational risk factors continue to
start even before birth for many Native Hawai-
ian children, including—
‘‘(i) late or no prenatal care;
‘‘(ii) high rates of births by Native
Hawaiian women who are unmarried; and
‘‘(iii) high rates of births to teenage
parents;
‘‘(B) Native Hawaiian students continue to
begin their school experience lagging behind
‘‘(18) The findings described in paragraphs
(16) and (17) are inconsistent with the high rates of
literacy and integration of traditional culture and
Western education historically achieved by Native
Hawaiians through a Hawaiian language-based pub-
lic school system established in 1840 by Kameha-
meha III.
‘‘(19) Following the overthrow of the Kingdom
of Hawaii in 1893, Hawaiian medium schools were
banned. After annexation, throughout the territorial
and statehood period of Hawaii, and until 1986, use
of the Hawaiian language as an instructional me-
dium in education in public schools was declared un-
lawful. The declaration caused incalculable harm to
a culture that placed a very high value on the power
of language, as exemplified in the traditional saying:
‘I ka ‘o¯lelo no¯ ke ola; I ka ‘o¯lelo no¯ ka make. In the
language rests life; In the language rests death.’.
‘‘(20) Despite the consequences of over 100
years of nonindigenous influence, the Native Hawai-
ian people are determined to preserve, develop, and
transmit to future generations their ancestral terri-
tory and their cultural identity in accordance with
their own spiritual and traditional beliefs, customs,
practices, language, and social institutions.
‘‘(21) The State of Hawaii, in the constitution
and statutes of the State of Hawaii—
‘‘(A) reaffirms and protects the unique
right of the Native Hawaiian people to practice
and perpetuate their culture and religious cus-
toms, beliefs, practices, and language;
‘‘(B) recognizes the traditional language of
the Native Hawaiian people as an official lan-
guage of the State of Hawaii, which may be
used as the language of instruction for all sub-
jects and grades in the public school system;
and
‘‘(C) promotes the study of the Hawaiian
culture, language, and history by providing a
Hawaiian education program and using commu-
nity expertise as a suitable and essential means
to further the program.
‘‘SEC. 9203. PURPOSES.
‘‘The purposes of this part are to—
‘‘(1) authorize and develop innovative edu-
cational programs to assist Native Hawaiians;
‘‘(2) provide direction and guidance to appro-
priate Federal, State, and local agencies to focus re-
