MAHALO TO OUR SPONSORS

TM Sat., Aug. 12, some 400 guests gathered beneath the verdant walls of Waimea Valley for a rededication ceremony marking the completion of the conservation purchase of Waimea by the Office of Hawaiian ONAffairs, in partnership with the City and County of Honolulu, the U.S. Army, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, the Trust for Public Land and the National Audubon Society. Many of those in attendance had struggled for years to save the valley from development, and an atmosphere of hope and joy permeated the celebration. The combined hälau of Kumu Hula Sonny Ching and Vicky Holt Takamine offered ceremonial hula and chant on terraced platforms rising up the valley wall, several musical ensembles provided nahenahe melodies, and everyone enjoyed a delicious ‘aina awakea (luncheon feast). Among those who lent their voices to the event were OHA Chairperson Haunani Apoliona and Administrator Clyde Nämu‘o; Mayor Mufi Hannemann; DLNR Director Peter Young; state Rep. Michael Magaoay; Audubon Society representative Diana King; Butch Helemano, kahu of Pu‘u o Mahuka Heiau; and Josh Stanbro of the Trust for Public Land, which helped broker the Army’s share of the purchase. Cultural expert Cy Bridges recited his genealogy, which includes ties to Kamehameha I’s famed kahuna nui, Hewahewa, who once ruled over this ‘valley of the priests.” We hope you enjoy this selection of images and words from a very special day.

Asked at the WhatWaimea Valley rededication ceremony on Aug.do 12: What do you think of OHA’s you recent conservation think? purchases of Waimea Valley and Wao Kele o Puna rainforest? I’m so happy to see that OHA is starting to acquire lands that will benefit our native people. It’s very important. I truly believe that a place like Waimea will not prosper unless the cultural part of the valley is run or cared for by Hawaiians. This could be a world-class educational center for everyone. – Colleen “Coco” Leong, Hale‘iwa

I think it’s a move in the right direction. As the people who have been here for generations and have created a culture to help manage and steward the lands and resources here, we need to continue that tradition. I think we need to look to our past and take the kuleana that was gifted us, and we need to carry that on for future generations. –Kala¯ Hoe, Hakipu‘u

I think it is great. OHA should have bought Waimea a long time ago. We struggled over the years, and there have been disappointments, especially when one of the landowners wanted to turn Waimea into an adventure park. This valley is special to me, and I’m glad that it has been saved. –D. Kanani Awai, Hale‘iwa

I think it’s important that more of our lands return into our hands. I think Waimea has been exploited over the years, neglected and forgotten. With the development arguments down the road, I think it’s important that the people of Hawai‘i, not just O‘ahu, look at an area like this as something that we must keep pristine. –Kainoa Dela Cruz, Honolulu What you do think?

I pledge to work with Native Hawaiian organizations to determine how federal grants can be a catalyst for social enterprise so that if feasible, programs can become self-sustainable. 4. I will recruit a team of advisors from the community including the Native Hawaiian community. This team will be my eyes and ears so I can always be thinking about new and better ways the federal government can help local organizations that serve the needs of our community. 5. I pledge to listen to the Native Hawaiian community and work with them to pass some form of federal legislation that halts the challenges to Native Hawaiian entitlement programs and organizations such as the Ofﬁ ce of Hawaiian Affairs and Kamehameha Schools.

Now is the time for all indigenous Hawaiians to step forward and “kau inoa” – place your name – to have a say in the process of self- determination. Today, the establishment of a new Native Hawaiian government is on the horizon, and the ﬁ rst step is for all Hawaiians who wish to participate in the raising of our nation to ofﬁ cially register their names through the Kau Inoa Hawaiian-governance enrollment effort. This process is already underway and is open to all indigenous Hawaiians, no matter what your age or where you live. Make your voice heard. “Place your name” to build a strong Hawaiian nation.
