    Section 7202 (20 U.S.C. 7511 et seq.) is amended to read as 
follows:

``SEC. 7202. FINDINGS.

    ``Congress finds the following:
            ``(1) Native Hawaiians are a distinct and unique indigenous 
        people with a historical continuity to the original inhabitants 
        of the Hawaiian archipelago, whose society was organized as a 
        nation and internationally recognized as a nation by the United 
        States, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan, as evidenced by

                exercised sovereignty over the Hawaiian Islands, and 
                that group has never relinquished its claims to 
                sovereignty or its sovereign lands;
                    ``(B) The United States furnishes services to 
                Native Hawaiians because of their unique status as the 
                indigenous people of a once sovereign nation with whom 
                the United States has established a trust relationship;
                    ``(C) Congress has also delegated broad authority

        Estate released the findings of the Native Hawaiian Educational 
        Assessment Project, which found that despite the successes of 
        the programs established under title IV of the Augustus F. 
        Hawkins-Robert T. Stafford Elementary and Secondary School 
        Improvement Amendments of 1988 (20 U.S.C. 4901), many of the 
        same educational needs still existed for Native Hawaiians. 
        Subsequent reports by the Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate and 
        other organizations have generally confirmed those findings. 
        For example--
                    ``(A) Native Hawaiian students continue to begin 
                their school experience lagging behind other students

                students in the uppermost achievement levels and in 
                gifted and talented programs;
                    ``(D) Native Hawaiian students continue to be 
                overrepresented among students qualifying for special 
                education programs provided to students with learning 
                disabilities, mild mental retardation, emotional 
                impairment, and other such disabilities;
                    ``(E) Native Hawaiians continue to be 
                underrepresented in institutions of higher education 
                and among adults who have completed 4 or more years of 
                college; and
                    ``(F) Native Hawaiians continue to be

                and physical statistics indicative of special 
                educational needs.

        State of Hawaii Department of Education has risen from 20 
        percent in 1980 to 26 percent in 2008, and there are, and will 
        continue to be, geographically rural, isolated areas with a 
        high Native Hawaiian population density.

        identity, in accordance with their own spiritual and 
        traditional beliefs, customs, practices, language, and social 
        institutions.
            ``(7) The State of Hawaii, in the constitution and statutes 
        of the State of Hawaii--
                    ``(A) reaffirms and protects the unique right of
