Impact

Summary
Senate Resolution 93 designates the Koʻolau Kupuna Council as an official advisory resource to the elected members of the Hawaii State Legislature who represent the Koʻolau community. The Koʻolau Kupuna Council is composed of respected elders, or 'kupuna', who are over sixty years old and possess significant cultural and historical knowledge relevant to the region. The resolution acknowledges the vital role that kupuna play in advising various community interactions and aims to legitimize their contributions to legislative processes.
Contention

There could also be concerns about how frequently elected officials engage with the council, which could affect the effectiveness of their advisory role. Additionally, the council's influence over specific issues related to the community may draw attention to broader discussions about the representation of elder voices in politics and governance.
