pany of go! airlines, admittingthat he and his co-pilot inad-vertently fell asleep about 9:33a.m. — 17 minutes after take-offfrom Honolulu. The two weresuspended and later fired.

The report says the flightcrew had been experiencing“operational stressors” beforethe incident, including being as-signed an aircraft with a “faultyflight management system” theday before. Also, on the day ofthe flight, the crew started 30minutes late because of a sched-uling error. That meant that thecrew had to rush during sever-al flights to make up for the de-lay.

The report said neither pilot

had ever inadvertently fallenasleep during a flight before.

But the captain did say he hadtaken “intentional naps” before.

After undergoing a sleep eval-uation, he was diagnosed with“severe obstructive sleep ap-nea,” which his doctor saidcould lead to “significant fa-tigue.”

The captain also reportedfeeling “burnt out” in recentmonths. The captain lived inMissouri and had been based inTennessee, before taking a tem-porary assignment in Kahuluiin January. The assignment wassupposed to last until Feb. 9,but was extended by 28 days.

The first officer of the flightsaid he had never fallen asleepon a flight before.

nomic base,” Khan said. “We’dlike to have a decision made bythe Hawaiian nation as to whathappens to those lands.”

Others at the rally such asTakamine and Clifford Hashimo-to, aliçi nui for the Royal Order,said they do not believe the stateshould sell or transfer cededlands — period.

Hashimoto, in a statement readby Royal Order spokesmanWilliam Souza, said “the fall ofthe Crown Lands will result inthe final solution of Hawaiians.The actions of the Old Order areback.”

Former OHA Trustee Adelaide“Frenchy” DeSoto said cededlands should be used to benefitNative Hawaiians by providingthem housing and health servic-es.

“Maybe our people don’t haveto be on their knees all the timebegging,” DeSoto said.

Native Hawaiian rights attor-ney Dexter Kaiama took issuewith the state’s position thatHawaiians may have a “moral”but not “legal” high ground whenit comes to ceded lands.

Rather than have a U.S. courtdecide what happens to cededlands, “ask your country to sub-mit itself to the internationalcourts,” Kaiama said.

The Lingle administration hasinsisted that it has and will con-tinue to support Native Hawaiiancauses and that its appeal to theU.S. Supreme Court, which is be-ing backed by a brief supportingthe appeal by 29 other states,does nothing to diminish that.

Attorney General Mark Ben-nett, after yesterday’s rally, alsoreiterated his view that the state’sposition on the case has notchanged since it was filed against

the Cayetano administration in1994.

The original lawsuits broughtby four Native Hawaiians andthe Office of Hawaiian Affairs,and then later joined, sought totemporarily halt the sale of about1,500 acres in Lahaina and Konato private interests to finance af-fordable-housing projects formoderate- and low-income fam-ilies regardless of whether theyhave Hawaiian blood, untilHawaiian claims to the lands hadbeen resolved.

“We continue to believe thatthe Hawai‘i Supreme Court’s de-cision was legally incorrect andthat it’s our responsibility to askthe U.S. Supreme Court to re-verse the decision because webelieve it was fundamentally,legally incorrect,” Bennett said.

The Lingle administration be-

lieves the issues raised by Na-tive Hawaiian groups should beaddressed by the legislativebranch of government, he said.That’s why both he and Linglehave lobbied hard for Congres-sional passage of the Akaka bill,which creates a process thatleads to federal recognition of aNative Hawaiian government en-tity.

There is no inconsistency inarguing that ceded lands are themanagerial jurisdiction of thestate government while lobby-ing for the Akaka bill, he said.

Some of the groups at yester-day’s rally oppose the Akaka billwhile others support it.

Ceded lands are the 1.2 millionacres once owned by the Hawai-ian government and subse-quently taken over by the U.S.as a result of the 1898 annexa-

tion. Those lands were thenpassed to the state and designat-ed for five purposes, includingbut not exclusively for the bet-terment of Native Hawaiians.They make up a bulk of state-owned lands and 29 percent ofthe state’s land mass.

Takamine said her groupplanned yesterday’s rally to co-incide with the Christmas vaca-tion visit by President-electBarack Obama in hopes in gain-ing his attention on the matter.

Takamine’s group is planninga larger event that will take placein Waikïkï on Jan. 17, the an-niversary of the 1893 overthrowof Liliu‘okalani, Hawai‘i’s lastmonarch.
