Exodus from Hawaii to Nevada 'Extremely High'


The Advertiser reports that, due to economic reasons, "A U.S. Census Bureau report on race migration released yesterday described Nevada's migration rate of Native Hawaiians and other Pacific islanders from 1995 to 2000 as 'extremely high.' Specifically, there was an influx of 563 Native Hawaiians for every 1,000 Native Hawaiians living there in 1995. Nevada's overall increase of 2,400 Pacific islanders during the five-year period was among the highest of all the states, and most of those people — 1,600 — came from Hawai'i."

And the Star-Bulletin has a story on the same issue, with a board member for the Las Vegas Hawaiian Civic Club said membership in the club boomed in the late 1990s, and that "there are perhaps a dozen hula halau, two Hawaiian churches, a canoe club, Hawaiian restaurants and stores where you can get laulau and poi, a Hawaiian music radio show and monthly community events in Las Vegas."
