OHA joins Internet

On March 1, in an unceremonious occasion marked by HTML files and text links, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs became part of the Intemet, propelling itself into cyberspace. OHA's link to the information autobahn comes courtesy of Hawaii Online, a Kaua'i-based Internet service provider and BBS (bulletin board service). Initially OHA's Internet page will include information about the organization, press releases, selected stories from Ka Wai Ola O OHA, and information about OHA programs. The global reach of the Intemet will allow users from around the world to become more familiar with Hawaiian issues. Being on-line will also allow loeal groups and individuals easy access to information provided by OHA. Information will be added and updated regularly so interested Intemet users should follow the OHA page closely for any new developments. OHA is listed on Hawaii Online's home page under "Info Providers." For those not part of Hawaii Online, OHA's present lnternet address is http://hoohana.aloha.net/~oha/. To send e-mail to OHA's public information office use oha@aloha.net. If a user e-mails a request for detailed information, or would like something sent to them, they should include a voice phone number and mail address.
