Native Hawaiians to Benefit from $9.5 Million in Federal AssistanceApplications Being Accepted Now Through March 24, 2006By Congressman Ed Case, 1/23/2006 10:28:17 PM
The U.S. Department of Education is accepting grant applications through the Native Hawaiian Education Program, established by Sen. Daniel Inouye, today through March 24, 2006, and I'm urging organizations involved in the education of Native Hawaiians to consider this opportunity. The grant awards, which will total $9.5 million, will range from $375,000 to $1.1 million.
I commend the department for increasing its outreach efforts by working closely with the Native Hawaiian Education Council and the Native Hawaiian community. I am also confident that USDOE will build upon its success of last year by reaching out to more Native Hawaiian communities in the near future, and I am particularly pleased that it has allowed more time for applicants to prepare for this year's awards process.
In past years, not enough organizations in areas of my district with large numbers of Native Hawaiians -- particularly on the Waianae Coast and Molokai -- had been aware of these grants. Last year, I worked with the U.S. Department of Education and the Native Hawaiian Education Council in conducting targeted outreach efforts by sponsoring workshops that helped Native Hawaiian groups apply for these grants. In total, $14.5 million was subsequently awarded to 29 various organizations and programs last year, including schools and groups that received federal funds from this program for the first time in my 2nd Congressional District.

The congressmens opponent for Senate the incumbent Senator Akata has the "Akata Bill"which is written to help right the wrongs done to native Hawaiians throughout history. This may be the congressmans way of reaching out to native Hawaiians with financial help. Ed Case has said he supports the Akata bill. Which I'm not sure has a chanced of passing since it would open the door for other such legsliation. Such as reparations for descendants of former slaves. This grant money to help fund education is going in the right direction, without having to pass difficult legsliation.
