This document discusses several topics related to Hawaiian heritage and culture: 1) Haleakala National Park was created in 1916 to protect Haleakala Crater, an important place in Hawaiian culture according to legend and where Native Hawaiians visited for various traditions. 2) The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope's mission is to advance knowledge of the sun through observational opportunities and cutting-edge facilities to benefit research and education. 3) Senator Daniel K. Inouye worked to educate others about Hawaii's unique resources which come from the blending of Polynesian, Asian, and European cultures, providing both opportunities and challenges for Hawaii's residents.

Freedom Just Causes Fairness and Equality for All

JURISPRUDENCE
UNITED STATES SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE
The philosophy of the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights is
not simply to grant the majority the power to rule, but is also
to set out limitation after limitation upon that power.
Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion;
what are these but the recognition that at times when the
majority of men would willingly destroy him, a dissenting
man may have no friend but the law.
You sow the wind, for minorities change and the time will
surely come when you will feel the hot breath of a righteous
majority at the back of your own neck. Only then perhaps
will you realize what you have destroyed.
The agenda remains unfulflled. Our work has only started.
Because to bring about the restoration of long-dormant
sovereignty, the people of Hawaii must convince themselves
that sovereignty is just, morally correct and legal. And we
must convince the governments of the United States, the State
of Hawaii, and our several counties to act in concert to make
this goal possible. As always, I stand ready to do my part.

2. SIGNIFICANCE OF HALEAKALA NATIONAL PARK
Haleakala National Park was created on August 1, 1916, to
protect the Haleakala Crater, a place of great importance in
the Hawaiian culture.
Legend has it that demi-god Maui went to the summit to snare
the sun and slow its journey across the sky, so days would
last longer and his mother could get more work done.
Native Hawaiians visited the summit to bid farewell to their
loved ones, honor gods, hunt, and create stone tools.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DANIEL K. INOUYE SOLAR TELESCOPE
The mission of the National Solar Observatory is to advance
knowledge of the sun, both as an astonomical object and as
the dominant external infuence on Earth, by providing
forefront observational opportunities to the research
community. The mission includes the operation of cutting
edge facilities, the continued development of advanced
instrumentation both in-house and through partnerships,
conducting solar research, and educational and public
outreach.

Volume 19 Number 8 1996
During my years in the United States Senate, I have worked
to educate my colleagues about Hawaii's unique and special
resources. The blending of Polynesian, Asian, and European
cultures has given us a rich and priceless heritage.
This multicultural setting provides both great opportunities
and challenges for those of us who call Hawaii our home.
As we approach the 21st century, cultural resource
conservation must provide a window to look and see where
we have been, to understand where we are today, and to plan
our strategy for the future.
It cannot be a choice.
It must be a commitment̶our commitment.
