THE ARTICLE HONOLULU CIVIL BEAT RECENTLY REFUSED TO PUBLISH

OHA Trustee Mililani B. Trask Response to Honolulu Civil Beat article by Peter Apo (04/18/2023) “OHA Abandons Commitment To Self Governance”

Recently, Civil Beat teamed up with ex OHA Trustee/State Legislator, Peter Apo, in an effort to resurrect the Hawaiian vs Hawaiian debate on building a Hawaiian nation. Civil beat failed to include the history of the state democratic party’s effort to create a native nation for the state’s benefit and did not review years that were wasted on failed initiatives. Civil & Apo also ignored the millions of dollars of costs for the effort, paid by OHA with revenues from the Ceded Land Trust.

The historic record speaks for itself. Hawaiians did not initiate the Kanaiolowalu and Na’i Aupuni Nation Building initiatives. These initiatives were created by the state legislature, but OHA was made to pay for it with our beneficiaries trust funds.

The record reveals the following:

1. For over a decade the State supported federal recognition of Hawaiians under the “Akaka Bill” in Congress because of fears that federal funding provided to native Hawaiians as “Native Americans” would be lost to the State unless there was a Hawaiian ‘Indian Nation’.

2. When the Akaka Bill died in the Congress, the State legislature moved to create a Hawaiian nation on their own! They passed ACT 195, later known as the Kana’iolowalu (HSEC) Initiative. The effort involved the formation of a Hawaiian Roll Commission to register 200, 000 Hawaiians to vote in a future election for delegates to a Hawaiian Constitutional Convention thereby creating a Hawaiian Nation. Over 60% of the nearly 85,000 who were sent ballots in mail refused to participate in the election of delegates.

3. In 2014 when it was clear that Kanaiolowalu was dead, a group of Native Hawaiian individuals who were members of Hawaiian organizations that had received funding for Kanaiolowalu, moved on their own to form a non-profit Consortium called Na’i Aupuni. This non-profit did not identify directors with DCCA when it was created, nor did it have a G.E. Tax license for tax exempt status as required by the IRS. Millions were wasted. In the end, no election of delegates by Hawaiians was ever achieved.

4. OHA did not create Kanaiolowalu or Na’i Aupuni but was required to provide millions of trust dollars in order to facilitate federal recognition for a paper nation which would have no land and no jurisdiction over the assets and resources of the Hawaiian people.

In the years that have transpired since these events occurred, a new OHA Board of Trustees has been elected. The majority of the current OHA board knows the definition of ‘Self-Determination’ ..... it is a Human right of all peoples including the Hawaiian peoples. It is not a political right of the United States or the State of Hawaii. The current Board of OHA Trustees has no intention of usurping the right of our Hawaiian beneficiaries to pursue their right of ‘Self-Determination’ through Nation building.

OHA’s priorities are clear, they are the development of Kaka’ako and Hakuone so that Hawaiian beneficiaries will have a place to call home, a cultural center to showcase the value of our peoples. Our priorities are to create an economic engine for maintaining existing programs in the areas of Health, Education, the preservation of Native Language, the protection of native Legacy Lands, and the provision for affordable housing for the 28,000 Hawaiians currently dying on the Department of Hawaiian Homes Land waiting list.

The current board of OHA trustees are well aware of the past abuses that our office was subjected to in the pursuit of ‘federal recognition’. It is significant to note that the State Auditor, the Clifton Larson Allen Accounting Firm and Plante Moran Finance Firm, who conducted the 3 audits of OHA’s expenditure in past years all flagged the Nation building effort and the activities of Na’i Aupuni as Fraud Waste and Abuse.

In an ongoing effort to achieve accountability and address these past abuses, the current Board of Trustees has delivered all materials, information, and data relating to The Kanaiolowalu (HSEC)/Na’i Aupuni Nation building effort to appropriate Federal and State Investigators for follow-up.

Mahalo nui loa,

Mililani B. Trask

Hawai’i Island Trustee

OHA Board of Trustees Vice Chair

I was surprised when the Waikiki Spam Jam posted about exclusive Stitch Spam cans. The original AI-generated image was deleted after I shared it. I checked local stores; Longs at Mililani Town Center had advertising but no product, while Foodland at Mililani Shopping Center had all three designs. Ohana means Spam Musubi for days… ^_^;

Bird Flu Updates Nov 19th 2024

A bunch of updates and info got released today and I saw a lot of people catastrophizing about them on twitter so I figured I'd make a post compiling it all with links. I suggest you read all of these articles yourself rather than trusting me, but I will include what I consider to be the main takeaways from each. (You can use this site to get around any paywalls.)

The preliminary genetic sequence from the very specific version of H5N1 the teenage patient in BC is sick with shows a couple of mutations that could help it bind to the cells in the respiratory tract and thus make it easier for it to infect humans and/or potentially spread between us.

While that sounds really bad, the article makes it clear this is just two mutations we think will make humans more susceptible to it, we do not know for sure what the real-world implications of this are, and as of right now we continue to lack any proof that the virus has truly gone H2H.

It is entirely possible that these mutations took place over the course of the teenager's illness, and were not present before. This is concerning because it ofc reminds us how easily this virus can mutate and evolve, but also a bit of a blessing because no one else has become sick so these mutations clearly are not enough for H2H spread, and also that means it's very likely that with the right precautions this version will die out once the teenager recovers. And even if other people become infected as long as they isolate we can still corner and kill off this version of the virus.

However, it mutating in this way once proves it can absolutely happen again, and surveillance and sequencing are important to make sure we know as soon as possible if these or other mutations occur.

D1.1 is the clade of H5N1 that is spreading in the wild bird population in Canada, and also is the one 11 farm workers in Washington were infected with while euthanizing infected poultry. However, these versions do not show the concerning mutations, leading credence to the theory that they occurred in the teenage patient's body and only there.

Currently no one else in the area, including people who've had direct contact with the teenage patient, have tested positive for H5N1. Serology testing of the patient's direct contacts is underway to confirm or deny if another person did catch it but had a mild or asymptomatic infection, the results should be in later this week.

Professionals interviewed repeatedly stress that surveillance is key, and also that the US is currently doing a piss poor job of handling this situation.

More info on the same subject can be found in this STAT article.

Update on the Hawaii outbreak, "H5N1 Avian Influenza linked to Mililani Pet Fair"

The outbreak has been confirmed in a backyard flock in Central Oahu.

Several birds from this flock were present at the Mililani Pet Fair which took place on November 2nd, and while the birds did not develop symptoms until after, it's entirely possible they were contagious but asymptomatic at the fair and thus could have spread the virus to humans and other animals present.

Direct Quote: "However, out of caution, the DOH is urging attendees who handled the affected birds to watch for symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and pink eye, which typically appear within two to five days of exposure, though in some cases symptoms may take up to 10 days to develop."

The article goes on to say that while they believe the risk of it spreading from these birds to any other animals or humans is low, basically anyone who touched a duck or goose while there and becomes ill needs to seek medical attention.

"Those affected are also encouraged to contact their primary care provider for evaluation and to notify the DOH Disease Reporting Line at 808-586-4586, available 24/7."

"For those wishing to report unusual illnesses in birds or animals, the HDOA’s Animal Industry Division is available at 808-483-7102 during business hours or 808-837-8092 after hours and on holidays"

(Sorry posting a lot of that as quotes because it's important.)

A child in California tested positive for H5N1 despite having no known contact with infected animals.

While the test did come back positive at the hospital, it was a very low viral load and they also tested positive for other respiratory viruses that could have caused the symptoms, so as of right now this is being treated as a possible infection, not a confirmed one. We won't know for sure until samples taken reach the CDC who has the ability to do more in-depth and accurate tests.

Because it was a low viral load it is highly unlikely that the child was contagious. They also only have mild symptoms and are recovering at home.

Close family has all been tested and none came back positive for H5N1, though a couple did have the same non-H5N1 respiratory illness the child did.

The child did attend daycare while symptomatic, and as a precautionary measure the California Department of Public Health is reaching out to everyone who was potentially exposed and their families to offer tests and preventative care.

This statement reiterates that the risk to the general population is still considered low, there is no evidence of H2H spread, all infections in the state have been mild and none required hospitalization, pasteurized milk is safe to drink, and that farm workers are urged to get the current seasonal flu shot.

Six new human infections, and one presumptive positive that is awaiting confirmation. (However this article is from yesterday, I believe one new case and one presumptive positive have been added in California today, Nov 19th. You can keep up with the numbers here.)

All mild, the California cases were all dairy workers, the Oregon one worked with poultry.

This is the first human case in Oregon.

Still no evidence of H2H spread.

21 of 28 monitored wastewater treatment plants have tested positive for H5N1, but experts believe that could be from unpasteurized milk, bird droppings, or contaminated animal products that were thrown out.

Risk to the public is still considered low.

Still no idea how the teenager in BC caught it, but apparently their family dog was dealing with a number of health issues and was euthanized around the same time the investigation began, and while the first test on the dog did not come back as positive for H5N1 they are going to perform a more detailed autopsy to make sure the dog wasn't the source.

Worth noting that this teenager lives in Fraser Valley, which, according to this article, has very high amounts of H5N1 in the environment.

Other Info:

This Newsweek article claims to have gained access to emails sent by Michigan health officials who theorize indoor cats are getting H5N1 from their humans, but not from the humans getting sick, just from them unknowingly picking up some of the virus on their clothes or shoes while outside and dragging it in with them, where their cats can be exposed.

This study using ferrets has interesting results on how previous infections with other, similar flu viruses might either offer more or possibly less protection from H5N1.

This article explains what mutations we would have to see in H5N1 for it to become transmissible between humans.

My Thoughts:

I still fully believe the experts when they say we do not have any proof of H2H spread of H5N1 at this time. The fact that we have yet to see contacts with sick people become sick themselves shows that we're still safe.

I think right now the best thing we can do is continue to minimize the chance that we ourselves become the mixing vessel that gives H5N1 those mutations. That means:

Avoiding interacting with wild animals and birds, especially ones that seem sick. Don't pet stray cats or dogs, don't play wildlife rehab in your backyard with a sick animal you found at the park, now is not the time for careless contact with something that could get you seriously sick. I would also avoid going to farms, fairs, or just interacting with any poultry or livestock if you aren't 100% sure the animal isn't sick, and if you do interact wear a mask at the very least. A farmer's market is probably fine, but I'd still wear a mask if I were you.

I would avoid cleaning up dead animals, especially birds, on your own unless you have absolutely no other choice. Look up if your local gov has a number to call for this sort of thing, and if they don't and you're on your own wear proper PPE(gloves, N95, long sleeves and pants, ect.) and wash up thoroughly afterwards.

Teach your kids to stay away from sick or dead animals, especially birds. Also don't let your pets near them, watch your dogs if they're in the yard or on walks, and I would seriously suggest keeping your cats indoors. (There have been 53 cases of H5N1 in domestic cats in the US, and only two of them were indoor only, the rest were either outdoor only or indoor/outdoor. Keeping them inside clearly drastically reduces the risk of your cat getting sick, and as far as I've seen H5N1 is almost 100% fatal in cats.)

Wearing a mask, any mask, when you go out. It's clear people are catching this from the environment, and on top of that we are going in to cold and flu season and I've heard reports of ERs being swamped by people sick with various respiratory viruses, so masking up is probably the best thing you can do to protect yourself and others.

On that same note, get your flu shot, covid booster, and if you qualify for them your RSV and pneumonia vaccine. Getting sick at all is not great atm, but if you do catch H5N1 you want to REALLY make sure you don't get something else at the same time, because that would give the virus everything it needs to mutate into something extremely dangerous.

Learn the symptoms of H5N1 and be on the look out for them. If you get sick with respiratory symptoms AND pink eye, especially if you did have contact with a bird or other wild animal, contact a doctor to get tested and treated, and isolate as best you can.

Continue to avoid raw milk. Drinking raw milk is the stupidest thing you could possibly do atm fr do not drink raw milk. I still think eggs and beef are safe, but if you want to be extra mega safe cook both all the way through to ensure any bits of virus are dead. Also wash your hands after handling eggs, even just in the shell. The outside of eggs can get pretty dirty.

Consider stocking up on masks and buying an air purifier, as well as maybe some cleaning supplies if you're concerned about dragging it into your house. Don't panic buy, but if you've been putting off buying any of this stuff I would go ahead and start doing so now.

If you have a mice problem and the means to do something about it, especially if you have a cat, now is the time to do something about it.

And of course, there are people being hella dramatic on twitter about this, so remember that it has not gone H2H and it is almost 100% certain that should that happen the Case Fatality Rate will NOT be 50%. As I said in my other post CFR is a constantly fluctuating variable based on how many people have already died, it is not the odds that any given person who gets it will die, and we are clearly missing cases that are so mild people don't even realize they're sick, so the CFR is absolutely lower than 50%. You should try to ignore people who make sweeping claims without sources, they're just trying to exploit your fear to farm for engagement. The best thing you can do is protect yourself so you do not become the mixing vessel this virus takes off in, which means masking and other common-sense precautions. Things aren't great atm, worry is warranted, but the world is not ending and panic is not helpful.

Stay safe out there o/

You can see exactly where my plans to write for the whole month fell apart by the days I wrote for 😅.
