Private And Local Responses To
Special Needs Of Native Hawaiians
A number of private and local
organizations have worked to meet the
unique needs of native Hawaiians.
These include Alu Like, Inc., the
Queen Liliuokalani Children's Center,
the King William C. Lunalilo Trust,
and the Kamehameha Schools established
under the Bernice Pauahi Bishop
Estate.
A. KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS/BERNICE PAUAHI
BISHOP ESTATE
When Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the
l a s t descendant of Kamehameha I, died
in 1884, the bulk of her estate of
over 373,000 acres was bequeathed to a
c h a r i t a b l e t r u s t , to be administered
by five named persons whose successors
were to be appointed by a majority of
the j u s t i c e s of the State Supreme
Court. 1/ Approximately 90 percent of
the e s t a t e ' s land is leased for long
terms for r e s i d e n t i a l , a g r i c u l t u r a l,
commercial, and i n d u s t r i a l purposes.
2/ The purpose of the t r u s t is to
maintain two schools and to support
orphans and other indigents "giving
the preference to Hawaiians of pure or
part aboriginal b l o o d . . . " The e s t a te
has limited i t s a c t i v i t i e s almost
exclusively to maintaining the
Kamehameha School for i t s students,
a l l of whom have native Hawaiian
blood. 3/ Currently, 2,617 students
attend School camps. _4/ The school
a l s o has an extension education
division, involving over 20,000
students in 28 d i f f e r e n t a c t i v i t i e s.

B. QUEEN LILIUOKALANI CHILDREN'S
CENTER
Queen Liliuokalani established a
trust, as amended October 11, 1911,
which provided: "From and after the
death of the Grantor, all the property
of the trust estate, both principal
and income,... shall be used by the
trustees for the benefit of orphan and
other destitute children...in the
Hawaiian Islands, the preference to be
given to the Hawaiian children of pure
or part aboriginal blood." 6/
At the outset, .the trust
established an orphanage. In 1934,
the Trustee sought to substitute care
in foster homes for the outmoded
orphanage. At present:
Our staff not only meet the
various needs of the children
left orphaned by the death of a
parent, but also other children
whose educational needs are not
being met at school and at home,
the needs of teenage mothers who
are keeping their children,
needs of children coming from
families which are
dysfunctioning and disintegrating,
needs of children and
families in learning their
cultural heritage. These
various needs are being met by
three agency programs: (1)
Individual and Family Services;
(2) Community Development; and
(3) Group Services. 7J
The Trust operates such wideranging
projects as counseling, the
Children's Center campsite and beach,
and agriculture/hydroponics projects
to teach l i f e s k i l l s to children. The
focus is to provide services to
children of Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian
blood. In 1980, the Trust expended
j u s t over $2 million and provided
continuous service to 5,594 children
and brief service (one to two
interviews) to 5,670 children. 8/
