OHA's failure to effectively focus on native Hawaiian issues may be due to the fact that it cannot legally address issues just for Hawaiians. It is an entity that is for all Hawaii citizens, including non Hawaiians. Monies collected from native Hawaiian resources ( i.e. ceded land leases) are really going into a different pocket on the same pair of pants. OHA is a State owned office,  taking native Hawaiian resources and utilizing funds acquired from these resources for the general public is wrong. OHA is a facade that has kept native Hawaiian resources truly in control of the state. We Hawaiians often sing songs about unity but fail to work together due to in fighting between native Hawaiian groups. Until Hawaiians find leadership that they can all rally behind, the State will continue to own what truly belongs to the native. OHA has not been able to gain the trust and following needed to bring the hawaiian together.  The "Office of Hawaii Affairs" serves all with native asset funding
