then the data may also demonstrate
a "healthy attitude" on the part of
native Hawaiians toward their
welfare programs. Their social
concept of "shame" may not prevent
the use of welfare and, therefore,
we may be seeing their greater,
more optimum use of welfare
programs as compared to other
cultures. 57/
Summary
In 1949, the proportion of native
Hawaiian males in the lowest income
brackets was above that for all other
groups. Their median income for the
same year was higher than the "all
races" and Filipino groups but below
that of the Chinese, Caucasian, and
Japanese groups.
By 1969, the situation of the native
Hawaiians had improved somewhat. They
were no longer over-represented in the
lowest income categories. According to
U.S. Census data, their median income
was higher than the "all races" group,
the Caucasians, and the Filipinos, but
below that for the Chinese and
Japanese.
Other statistics paint a more dismal
picture, however:
• According to the 1975 Census
Update Survey and Hawaii State
data, native Hawaiian income
levels were still below the
Caucasian figures, contrary to
the U.S. Census information; 58/
• In 1975, over one-fourth (27
percent) of native Hawaiians
were classified as below the
poverty level; and
• In 1982, the percentage of
native Hawaiians on welfare
(AFDC and general assistance)
was significantly higher than
their relative share of the
population.

Ethnic Stock of Adult Arrestees
Table 23 shows the ethnic stock of
persons arrested in Hawaii in 1981
compared to each ethnic group's
percentage share of the population.
The percentage of arrestees who were
Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian was 23
percent, almost double their share of
the population (12 percent, according
to the 1980 U.S. Census). "Negroes"
comprised 4.1 percent of those
arrested, more than double their share
of the population (1.8 percent). Other
ethnic groups whose proportion of
arrests was greater than their share of
the population were:
Caucasian—35.3 percent (33 percent of
population); and the "other" group—
11.9 percent (5 percent of population).
