Mililani Trask was the first leader of the organization.[43] Trask was elected the first kia'aina (governor) of Ka Lahui.[44] The organization has a constitution, elected offices and representatives for each island.[45] The group supports US Federal recognition and its independence from the United States[46]:38 and supports inclusion of Native Hawaiians in federal Indian policy.[42]:62 The organization is considered the largest sovereignty movement group, claiming a membership of 21,000 in 1997. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1323.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1323.txt
