going to so if we can kind of just force feed them some information about that maybe <br />they’ll \[unclear\]. OK. And that was Cedric Gates - West Oahu, OK, remember that <br />Abraham was with us over there so we’re just gonna let him jump on and give us a little <br />bit of what he remembers discussing with Mr. Gates and his team. <br /> <br />AA: (Abraham Antonio) Good morning team. <br /> <br />LT: Hey, aloha. <br /> <br />AA: I’m just jumping on – I listening to the meeting – seems like you guys need some <br />assistance. This is actually, the Department of Agriculture’s like – he’s the secretary for <br />the head of the Department of Ag. And, this Act 90 thing I was gonna wait till later on <br />but might as well speak now since I’m on right now. But this Act 90 thing they kind of <br />buttered it up where the Department of DLNR was going transfer lands to the <br />Department of Ag and our interpretation was they was gonna still allow hunting and <br />stuff like that but we walked up on the chair of Department of Ag and we asked him that <br />question – if they would still – simple question – would they still allow hunting on the <br />Department of Ag lands because of the Act 90 and she said absolutely not – there’s no <br />hunting on agricultural lands unless you can prove lineal descent like Brian said. So that <br />was very disturbing from what we was getting from our local reps at the DOFAW office <br />and to what the Department head of Agriculture said, so it’s something that we need to <br />look into or you guys need to look into – we had very much support from Lorraine <br />Inouye when you brought it up to her and also Tim Richards and also Diamond Garcia. <br />They all, after we had that discussion with the Department of Ag chair – like I said that <br />was very disturbing so we brought it to light to the members and they were pretty <br />disturbed as well and they said that they would look into it. But we need to set-up an <br />email chain with them and get that moving. Other than that, we are the only county <br />state GMAC, as you guys all know. We ran into, Mr. Kawakami, which is the Mayor of <br />Kauai and he is very interested in setting up their own county GMAC on the island of <br />Kauai and he said if you guys can send just the outline of our GMAC to Kauai’s county or <br />to the mayor of Kauai County and he will definitely look into it and see what he can do <br />as long as he’s in office to get their own county GMAC going, cause right now they only <br />have a state representative. <br />David Tarnas, he just was talking about his normal spew about the sheep and accidents <br />and stuff like that. As far as Tim Richards he is in support of the sheep on the mountain <br />and stuff like that but a lot of his conversation was he’s still brand new and he doesn’t <br />have that much power as of yet, so, we’ll be working with him in the future. <br /> Dru Kanuha, which you guys never get to him yet but he’s very in support of GMAC, he <br />actually asked us, first thing that came out of his mouth – what do you guys have and <br />you guys want to propose and basically we don’t have anything at this time but we’re <br />just back in and just watching what’s happening so we can support our rights to gather <br />and our two-way rights and fishing rights and whatever that’s happening in the Leg that <br />we’ll be watching and supporting or not supporting, yeah? That’s pretty much it in the <br />rough. We briefly ran into Sylvia Luke, which is pretty cool. We didn’t really have a <br />13 <br /> <br /> <br />
