June Peko Ponausuia says she is one of those 200 disgruntled career service employees that have been accused of misinterpreting the actions of interim CEO John Marsh in appointing Misirita Matagi to maage the employee benefits position.
Ponausuia makes the point that in his in house email announcing Matagi’s appointment there was no mention that the appointment was temporary.
She argues that the position should have been advertised so that the best candidate can be selected and says it is misleading to describe Matagi as the best selection.

 History
Part of the myth (and much of the commonly told "history") of the "ancient Akita" arises from the confusion of Akitas (by even the most tenured fanciers) with a "type" of dog which existed between the 17th and 19th centuries.
This "type," loosely called the matagi (hunting) inu (dog), wasn't a "breed" in any sense, but a group of dogs bred not for a particular conformation or "look" but to perform a competitive task--hunting.
Some historians believe that "matagi dogs" persisted into the 20th century, but it is now consistently agreed to by Japanese breed scholars that such dogs were not purebred.

These were the Matagi Akita which was the original hunting dog; the Fighting Akita which was a mixture of Matagi and several other breeds including Mastiff and Great Dane; and the so called German Shepherd Akita which was the result of breeders trying to save their dogs from confiscation by the government.
During the war the government decreed that most dogs be confiscated and used as a source of fur for military garments.
In spite of the fact that the Akita breeders in Japan chose to promote the Matagi Akita, it must be understood that the Matagi and Fighting Akitas are both historically Japanese breeds.

The Fighting Akita type was also deemed not correct because of the many foreign breeds that had been introduced over the past several hundred years in order to create it.
In the US, the breeders and fanciers were more drawn to the large and substantial dogs typified by what the Japanese call the Fighting Akita.
