Virtually all of those who performed were touched in some way in their association with Aunti Maiki, more especially as a student of her halau. It was fitting, therefore, that another large outpouring of her "graduates" came to join the thousands of others in honoring her. Together they put on another warm and most enjoyable program well worth the $10 admission donation, net profits of which will go into Aunti Maiki's dream of a school building where al1 people can come to learn Hawaii's culture and history through song and dance.

Two beautiful horses from Kawena Corporation stood by and watched as the young girls of the halau did a paniolo number, "Hu'ehu'e," telling of life on the Hawaii ranch. The men of the halau also entertained the crowd in their paniolo routine. All of the dancers were dressed in bright red palaka shirts, indicating a pronounced presence of palaka power.

By Kenny Haina, Editor Ka Wai Ola 0 OHA "Waikiki is so used and abused already. I look at it and I cry. I'm hurt. I don't want to see the same thing happen to Kaanapali," lamented a former Honolulu resident who surfed the Queen's Surf area for over 20 years. Because of what he saw at Waikiki, Randy Burgess and three others set up the only Hawaiian owned and operated business along the Kaanapali strip giving instructions in native Hawaiian ocean sports-outrigger canoe paddling, surfing and surfboard riding. Plans are in the works to add Hawaiian-type fishing such as spear fishing, net throwing and laying nets. Burgess and other members of their Maui Beach Center at the Whalers Village on Kaanapali Beach adjacent to the Maui Westin Hotel also conduct Hawaiian culture tours on the only commercial double hull sailing canoe in the world-the E 'Ala, on loan from the Wai'anae Hawaiian Civic Club through the assistance of Agnes K.

' Land of Spectacular Contrast and Beauty _ By Linda Kawai'ono Delaney Land Officer Geologists tell us that Kalaupapa Peninsula was formed by the volcanic acts of Kauhako and was originally separate from the rest of Moloka'i. Even the district name-meaning "flat leaf'- echoes the startling contrast of this level point of land to the deep valleys which act as boundary walls and typify the North shore of Moloka'i. This spectacular contrast and beauty of 1300- foot cliffs dropping down to the sea has been rec- ognized by National Natural Landmark status. Jutting from the waters off-shore are two small islands. Mokapu-rounded like a honu-is associ- ated with stories of turtles who frequent this area and nest at the far sweep of the bay. The other, reminiscent of a shark's fin breaking the surface, is understandably linked to stories of mano. Without the competition of high-rises, cars and "boom boxes," the spiritual wonder of this area walks at your elbow-felt but just out of sight, nudging enchanted imagination. Distanced by geography and history, Kalaupapa holds a distinctly rich traditional Hawaiian heritage. Best-known for the painful experiences of the leper Looking out from inside the "Old Woman's Mokapu island beyond trees is associated with colony decreed in the 19th century, this area is also Cave" one sees another puka and the Pacific stories of turtles. home to significant archaeological and cultural Ocean beyond. treasures.

The animation of tradition, though, adds a dimension and substance which stone alone fails to convey. Outside the village is q birthing stone. According to legend, this naturally-molded rock was stolen from "topside" by the ali'i of Kalawao. With the birth of a royal child imminent, this chief gathered his warriors at the base of the trail. Seeing his preparations for battle, the stronger Moloka'i ali'i assembled their army above.

By Deborah Lee Ward, Assistant Editor Ka Wai Ola 0 OHA This is the first in a series of articles on the history of the Hawaii public land trust and the OHA Trust Entitlement. The purpose of this ', series is to provide an understanding of the issues surrounding O HA's quest for ceded lands revenue as provided by state law, and OHA's initiatives for Hawaiians once a set- tlement is achieved. Later articles will examine "The Future of the Public Lands Trust and the OHA Entitlement". Far-reaching actions that may spell major ad- vances for Hawaiian self-determination and in- creased access to resources for the Hawaiian community are being simultaneously developed in a history-making period of growing political power fo r Hawaiians. Following the "Year of the Ha- waiian," in which Hawaiians acknowledged "Ho'o- lako," enrichment of the race, we came together at the Aloha Stadium to demonstrate "Ho'olokahi," unity. Now t he question is "What next?" The answer must be "Ho'okahi," to be one people united in the u.

Article XII of the Constitution does not establish funding for OHA's other class of beneficiaries, the "Hawaiians". Since 1980, the State legislature has Container been the primary source of funding for "Ha- waiians". Although Hawaii Revised Statutes are clear that "20 percent of all funds derived from the public land trust" are to go to OHA for "the betterment of conditions of native Hawaiians", from the begin- ning, the state administration has excluded reve- nues generated by trust lands administered by the State Department of Transportation (DOT). The State Department of Land and Natural Resources, charged with the jurisdictional administration of nearly 1.4 million acres of state 5(b} lands, transfers an average of $1.5 million to OHA each year for native Hawaiians. However, the Department of Transportation, which administers state harbors and airports, is the largest potential generator of OHA trust income. In March of 1983, a Legislative Auditor's draft report on the Public Land Trust concluded that OHA is entitled to income produced by a much broader category of public lands than it had been receiving. ..

Anticipating international attention and pil- grimages to the isolated peninsula when Damien is canonized, Congressional action in 1980 desig- nated Kalaupapa a National Historic Park. A major concern in the development of the Park was the future status of Hawaiian Homes trust land.

The site, located near the park's main parking lot, was first recorded in 1974 by the Bishop Museum. Rudy Leikaimana Mitchell, Waimea Falls Park historian and archaeologist, investigated the site in 1978 at which time he filed an archaeological survey report with the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Mitchell's renovation and reconstruction of the site began in December, 1987, with the removal of runoff sediment and boulders from the area. As the work progressed, it became increasingly clear that the underlying structures were remnants of a "Hale 0 Lono." "I first suspected that it was when I saw the presence of so much coral of the same species throughout the temple," said Mitchell. "As I con- tinued to dig, other things pointed in that direction including the configuration of the heiau and the fact that the main platform faces east and is fully illuminated by the rising sun, typical of.this type of temple," said Mitchell. The ancient "Hale 0 Lono" was ascribed to the Rudy Leikaimana Mitchell, Waimea Falls Park historian and archaeologist, with his trusty pipe god of agricultural growth and rain and sacrifices and crow bar at Hale 0 Lono digging.
