Native Hawaiian Roll Commission

Ang Native Hawaiian Roll Commission was established by the Hawaii Legislature to prepare and maintain a roll of qualified Native Hawaiians, fulfilling a prerequisite for the reorganization of a Native Hawaiian governing entity. Tinutukoy nito ang eligibility criteria, conducts outreach, and certifies individuals as qualified for inclusion on the roll. The roll is a foundational element in the process toward federal recognition and the establishment of a Native Hawaiian self-governing body.

Native Hawaiians who seek to participate in governance of a future Native Hawaiian entity need to be registered with the roll; this commission's eligibility decisions determine who maaaring lumahok in that process.
