Office of Hawaiian Affairs

So it's not the state of Hawaii, it's the Kingdom of Hawaii.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs have been working really hard to return these military lands to Native Hawaiian trust.

So on the island of Oahu, in addition to Makua, there are two other military bases that are up for the lease expires on 2029.

This is Kahuku and also Kalaeloa Poamoho.

Native Hawaiians also retain a concept of mana in their contemporary culture.

In a big sociological study, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs interviewed a bunch of Native Hawaiians, asking them to share their thoughts about mana.

Some described it as an essence or energy.

Another Native Hawaiian described it as an invisible force that you can feel or sense.
