Today, Papa Ola Lōkahi's CEO Dr. Sheri Ann Daniels appeared as a minority witness for the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs' (SCIA) Oversight Hearing related to Federal Programs serving Native Americans across the Operating Divisions at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). We thank Chair Murkowski and Vice Chair Schatz for their leadership and the entire committee for shining a light on how HHS programs must be maintained for the betterment of native communities across the country and especially for Native Hawaiians.
