NATIVE HAWAIIANS STUDY COMMISSION 
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 
18TH & C STS., N.W. - ROOM 5156 
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20240 

June 23, 1893 

Honorable James A. McClure, Chairman 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources 
United States Senate 
Washington, D.C. 20515 

Honorable Morris K. Udall, Chairman 
Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs 
United States House of Representatives 
Washington, D.C. 20510 

Dear Sirs:

It is my privilege respectfully to submit the Final Report of the
Native Hawaiians Study Commission to the Committees on Energy and
Natural Resources and Interior and Insular Affairs.

This Final Report is presented in two volumes and, as mandated by
Public Law 96-565, Title III (adopted December 22, 1980), reflects
the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of a 21-month study
of the culture, needs, and concerns of native Hawaiians by the
Native Hawaiians Study Commission.

The Commission's Final Report, including conclusions and
recommendations, is contained in Volume I. Three Commissioners
dissented from portions of the Report and their conclusions and
recommendations are contained in Volume II.

It is our sincere hope that these volumes will provide a
well-considered and detailed basis for further review and
consideration by your Committees.

A unanimous final report was desired and sought by all. While this did not prove possible, we believe the Native Hawaiians Study Commission has attempted to satisfy the requirements of Public Law 96-565 to "conduct a study of the culture, needs and concerns of Native Hawaiians," and to "make recommendations to the Congress based on its findings and conclusions." This final report offers a comprehensive and thoughtful range of possible responses by the Congress to issues and concerns that are complex and difficult.

On behalf of the entire Native Hawaiians Study Commission, I would
like to express our appreciation for this opportunity to serve the
United States Congress and the nation.

Sincerely,

Kina'u Boyd Kamali'i 
Chairperson
