Are knowledgeable about the inherent and legal rights of Native Hawaiians, the original <br /> inhabitants of these islands, and are committed to ensuring the full implementation of <br /> these rights that are codified in State and federal laws: <br /> a. The Public Land Trust, of which 20 percent of its revenues should be <br /> appropriately calculated and directed to the betterment of Native Hawaiians, and <br /> b. The Hawaiian Homelands homestead program, which must be appropriately <br /> funded and managed to provide its native Hawaiian beneficiaries residential, <br /> agricultural, or pastoral homesteads. <br /> 5. Investigate alternate economic paradigms, currencies, and measures of success that are <br /> tied to environmental and community well-being. <br /> 6.

Honor community voices in developing carrying capacities and limitations for industries <br /> and sensitive environmental, historic, and cultural contexts. <br /> 8. Generate and implement fresh, innovative approaches and systems to achieve economic <br /> and food self-reliance. <br /> 9. Provide a framework of environmental policies, including tax incentives, grants, and <br /> other supports that enable agri-businesses and small farms to remain economically viable <br /> while being good land stewards that minimize negative environmental impacts (e.g., <br /> waste and effluent discharge) and that improve the long-term fertility of the lands under <br /> their care (e.g., syntropic, permaculture, and organic farming, composting, and soil <br /> development). <br /> 10. Develop energy and waste policies and systems (e.g., buy-back agreements where utility <br /> companies compensate households and communities that generate energy) to directly <br /> facilitate increased self-reliance for households and communities (i.e., the European <br /> model). <br /> Huhau Action Agenda,Community Version Rev.2 6/8/20 ainaalohafutures.com 8 <br />
