# § 3057g. Findings

The Congress finds the older Native Hawaiians—

**(1)** have a life expectancy 10 years less than any other ethnic group in the State of Hawaii;

**1** rank lowest on 9 of 11 standard health indicies [^1] for all ethnic groups in Hawaii;

So in original. Probably should be “indices”.

**(3)** are often unaware of social services and do not know how to go about seeking such assistance; and

**(4)** live in poverty at a rate of 34 percent.
