Requesting The State Foundation On Culture And The Arts To Report Information Relating To Expenditures From The Works Of Art Special Fund For The Curation And Preservation Of Native Hawaiian Art.
Impact
The core intent of HCR119 is to enhance the visibility and funding support for Native Hawaiian cultural practices, particularly those involving performing arts such as hula, oli (chant), and mele (song). By requesting a report on funding allocations and the number of Native Hawaiian art pieces acquired, the resolution seeks to address concerns about the current lack of representation and support for these art forms in the Foundation’s reports. It underscores the need for systemic changes that better reflect and support Native Hawaiian culture.
Summary
HCR119 is a House Concurrent Resolution from the Thirty-first Legislature of Hawaii, aimed at requesting the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to provide detailed information regarding the expenditures from the Works of Art Special Fund specifically concerning the curation and preservation of Native Hawaiian art. The resolution highlights the importance of Native Hawaiian art as a vital element of cultural heritage and education, citing the first chairman of the Foundation, Pundy Yokouchi, who emphasized art’s educational value.
Contention
While the bill was resoundingly passed in the House Finance committee with no dissenting votes, the discussions surrounding it shed light on the potential gaps in cultural representation. Critics may point to the limitations of the current Works of Art Special Fund and its inability to adequately support the performing arts, which are crucial for the preservation of Native Hawaiian customs. The bill's proponents argue that addressing these gaps is essential for the advancement and self-determination of Native Hawaiian artists and cultural practitioners, while also protecting their intellectual property from misappropriation and exploitation.
