Johnson-Campbell predicts, “In 2012, we’ll be able to begin actual construction out there.” So far, Makani Hou has only raised enough funding to cover one structure – a meeting hall – but is seeking more grants to build the entire center. When it all comes together, the center will be a re-creation of traditional Hawaiian construction, with some contemporary touches that will minimize the impact on the park’s significant cultural, natural and archaeological resources. Some signs of modern development will be included: composting toilets and solar power, for example. “We have to provide for modern times,” notes Jon Jokiel, the supervisory interpretative park ranger at Kaloko-Honoköhau. Jokiel, who wrote a master’s thesis on Kaloko- Honoköhau, says community engagement is critical to the success of the cultural live-in center. The proposal is the first of its kind for the National Park Service, so there’s no template to follow. The idea, however, is to have the center managed by community groups under oversight from the park service. All involved agree that more help is needed.

He researched the fish and learned how even though it lives in freshwater tide pools at the very tops of the mountains, the ‘o‘opu begins life in saltwater ponds near the sea.

EARLY HISTORY

The ongoing dispute over income and proceeds from the lands of the Public Land Trust between the Office of Hawaiian MISSING SINGLE TOOTH SINGLE IMPLANT Affairs and the State of Hawai‘i centers around approximately 1.2 million acres of lands received by the State of Hawai‘i at statehood in 1959; it is intertwined with the overall claims of Hawaiians to ap- proximately 1.8 million acres of crown, government and public lands once belonging to the Kingdom of Hawai‘i, commonly referred to as the “ceded lands” from which the Public Land Trust lands largely derive. In the 1898 Joint Resolution to provide for annexing the Hawai- MISSING MULTIPLE TEETH MULTIPLE IMPLANTS ian Islands to the United States, the Republic of Hawai‘i “ceded and transferred” to the United States absolute fee and ownership of the 1.8 million acres described above. The annexation impliedly placed these public lands into a special public trust, as it required that all revenue or proceeds from said lands “shall be used solely for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands and for educational and other public purposes.” The “Organic Act” of April 30, 1900, gave the control and management of these lands to the government of the Territory of Hawai‘i. MISSING ALL TEETH ALL-ON-4 The Admission Act, which was passed in 1959, transferred a por- tion of these (ceded) lands and explicitly created the Public Land Trust to be held by the State of Hawai‘i. Importantly, subsection 5(f) of the Admission Act recognized the public trust status of this por- grafting procedures and uses only four implants on each arch to support tion of the “ceded lands,” stating that: immediate placement of teeth on the implants in Just One Day.
