OHA -- Ka Huli Ao Center initiative continues

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs has finalized an agreement with the Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law and the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's William S. Richardson School of Law to continue the A'o Aku A'o Mai initiative. The initiative was created to provide access to justice for Native Hawaiians through legal education and direct services on

issues of importance to the Native Hawaiian community. The latest phase aims to expand knowledge and support on issues impacting Native Hawaiians and Hawaii's natural resources, especially in rural, neighbor island communities. OHA has committed $150,000 for Ka Huli Ao to offer at least four legal clinics in the next two years.
