           SUMMARY  :   Recognizes the role that Native Hawaiians and Pacific 
          Islanders (NHPI) have played in the social, economic, and 
          political development of California and its history; and, 
          encourages all federal, state, and local organizations to 
          promote the preservation of NHPI history and culture, including 
          the preservation of NHPI communities.  Specifically,  this 
          resolution  makes the following legislative findings:  

          1)According to the 2010 Census Bureau, California has one of the 
            largest NHPI populations in the United States; and, the NHPI 
            community makes up a diverse group including but not limited 
            to, Guamanian/Chamorro, Native Hawaiian, Marshallese, Fijian, 
            Samoan, and Tongan.

          2)The NHPI community faces unique challenges as a result of its 
            distinct history and community experience; and the NHPI 
            community helped to institute an update to the Federal Office 
            of Management and Budget's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 
            in 1997 to establish a specific Native Hawaiian or Other 
            Pacific Islander category relative to the collection of data.

          3)Preserving our Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander 
            communities throughout California is critical to our state 
            history and for the preservation of Native Hawaiian and 
            Pacific Islander culture, history, traditions, and other 
            elements of their heritage.
