    Senator Akaka made time during his trip to Alaska to speak with Alaska Native high school and college students. Akaka came from a poor Native Hawaiian family in Pauoa Valley and never imagined he would one day be a United States Senator. His message: You can do it too. Your culture will give your strength. Whatever you do best, you can pursue.
