CLOSING REMARKS It was the goal of the authors to provide readers with access to a broad cross section of the historical narratives that may be found in archival collections pertaining to the HämäkuaKo‘olau region of East Maui. While not every historic communication, document, report or publication previously written about the culturalhistorical landscape of the region was cited (or known to the authors), the present study draws on many primary (first hand and eyewitness) accounts. The narratives cited, were authored by both native Hawaiian residents and writers (a number of the accounts had not been previously available in English), and foreign residents or visitors. While lengthy quotes from some of the significant historical narratives have been reproduced in this study, it was deemed appropriate to do so, as the original or eyewitness accounts are much more revealing than our modern summaries of past events can be. The study also introduces readers to some of the personal histories and recollections of native Hawaiians and kama‘äina residents of the HämäkuaKo‘olau region. Nearly all of the interview participants are descended from families with generations of residency upon lands of the Hämäkua Ko‘olau region. The interviewees shared a wide range of information pertaining to traditional and customary practices, as handed down from their elders; traditions of wahi pana (storied landscapes); practices associated with land and water use, and fisheries (including collection practices); historical descriptions of development and management of the East Maui Irrigation System, and water flow; past and ongoing resource stewardship practices; and the relationship between regional communities and the East Maui Irrigation Company, Ltd. The present study reflects the care and interest of Alexander & Baldwin and East Maui Irrigation Company, Ltd., in the lands and resources they have held—in some cases for more than 150 years; and also conveys to readers the rich history of Maui Hikina, as found in historical literature, and in the hearts and minds of the families of the land. Many people contributed to the completion of the study, it being a work of some magnitude. But as the küpuna have instructed us — A‘ohe hana nui ke alu ‘ia! (It is not too difficult a task, when done together by all!)
