The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs is on the road this week, hosting two field hearings in Hawaii.
The committee is in Honolulu, the state capital on the island of Oʻahu, for the first field hearing on Wednesday. A second one is taking place in Hilo, on the big island of Hawaiʻi, on Thursday.
The field hearings are titled “Upholding the Federal Trust Responsibility: Funding & Program Access for Innovation in the Native Hawaiian Community.” It’s a subject frequently raised by Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), the chair of the committee.
“The federal government has a special political and trust relationship with Native Hawaiians and that includes providing health care,” Schatz said at a hearing last Wednesday to consider the nomination of Roselyn Tso to serve as director of the Indian Health Service.
