Professor and Department Chair cover: Wade Kyono, M.D. examines three year old Chase during a visit at the Pediatric Ambulatory Unit (PAU). Note: All patient photos have approved consents on file. Thanks to: Karen Akiyama for putting this report together. On behalf of our faculty, residents and staff, we are pleased to share our 2017-2018 annual report of the Department of Pediatrics, University of Hawai‘i, John A. Burns School of Medicine. With the rapidly evolving landscape of practice and payment transformation, concomitant changes in medical education, discovery in research, and education about “how” to practice are essential as we continuously re-think and re-design our practices. “Every system is perfectly designed to produce the results it gets.” – Paul Batalden, MD However, some things won’t change. We remain steadfast in our promise to educate pediatricians for the next generation to provide the physician workforce for our state, participate actively in scientific discovery and quality improvement, partner with all entities involved in pediatric services and by doing so, provide the best care for all children in our state. As the academic arm of our community’s pediatric system of care, we know we must contribute to the science of practice and to narrow the gap between what is known in science and what is practiced. This is one of the ways we develop and maintain the trust of our community.

    Chapter 5. Social and Economic Environment 5.1 Cultural Resources

    Rose Atoll National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Chapter 5. Social and Economic Environment 5.1 Cultural Resources Archaeological and other cultural resources are important components of our nation’s heritage. The Service is committed to protecting valuable evidence of plant, animal, and human interactions with each other and the landscape over time. These may include previously recorded or yet undocumented historic, cultural, archaeological, and paleontological resources as well as traditional cultural properties and the historic built environment. Protection of cultural resources is legally mandated under numerous Federal laws and regulations. Foremost among these are the NHPA, as amended, the Antiquities Act, Historic Sites Act, Archaeological Resources Protection Act, as amended, and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Additionally, the Refuge seeks to maintain a working relationship and consult on a regular basis with villages that are or were traditionally tied to Rose Atoll. 5.1.1 Historical Background The seafaring Polynesians settled the Samoan Archipelago about 3,000 years ago. They are thought to have been from Southeast Asia, making their way through Melanesia and Fiji to Samoa and Tonga. They brought with them plants, pigs, dogs, chickens, and likely the Polynesian rat. Most settlement occurred in coastal areas and other islands, resulting in archaeological sites lost to ocean waters. Early archaeological sites housed pottery, basalt flakes and tools, volcanic glass, shell fishhooks and ornaments, and faunal remains. Stone quarries (used for tools such as adzes) have also been discovered on Tutuila and basalt from Tutuila has been found on the Manu’a Islands. Grinding stones have also been found in the Manu’a Islands.
