Interim report details plans Task force continues preservation efforts

By Ann L Moore The struggle to preserve from desecration and destruction the sites that have value to the Hawaiian people is more than a political battle or a question of jurisdiction. It is the fight to save the Hawaiian people from extinction and to return to them the authority to define their culture, their his- tory and themselves.

Those sta tements are expressed by members of the Native Hawaiian Historic Preservation Task Force in their interim report presented to the 1990 legisla ture. The task force's first year was spent becoming familiar with the present laws and the people in- volved in enforcement and in beginning talks with state and county officials involved in both plan- ning/development and historic preservation. In 1990, according to its report, the task .force wants to tackle: • a more complete identification of Hawaiial'l historic sites, • the drafting of preservation laws in each county, • the establishment of a cadre of kupuna on each island who are knowledgable about Hawaiian The "sacred glow" of Makalawena's waters fication demanded in the training of young tradition and who could be consulted when ques- are now a part of a national wildlife preserve to chiefs including Kamehameha, who was tions arose about a specific place, protect endangered native birds.
