Native Hawaiian leaders and the Hawaii Tourism Authority are against the 11th hour bill, saying it prevents the agency from funding Hawaiian culture, natural resources and community programs like the renown Merrie Monarch Festival, King Kamehameha Celebration and Aloha Festivals. “Stop the theft of Hawaiian culture and give back the aloha to our people and our community,” said Kumu Hula Vicky Holt Takamine.
