It is particularly important for the legislators representing the Koʻolau region to engage regularly with the Council, facilitating a flow of knowledge and input on matters that concern the local community. This initiative emphasizes cultural respect and the need for inclusive policymaking that takes into account the perspectives of the elders who possess valuable historical and cultural insights.
Summary

The bill recognizes the significance of kupuna, or elders, in the community, acknowledging their essential role in providing guidance and fostering smooth relations among various community members, including families and businesses. The resolution reflects the intent to enhance communication and collaboration between the Council and legislators to address pertinent issues affecting the Koʻolau community.
