Kahoolawe History

??ina ??iwi TV | Kaho?olawe Aloha

Kaho'olawe Aleha'?ina concentrates on the culturally, politically and militarily importance of the little-known "target island" Kaho'olawe in the hawaiian articel. Hawaii' means'?ina referring to the country's affection for the country, the foundation of Hawaii' culture and the power that revives the present motion to revive the Isle.

Made by Protect Kaho'olawe'Ohana, this clip retraces the history of the archipelago from antiquity to the years of animal husbandry, the US air raid and today's fight to stop the bombings and recapture the area. Old songs directed against extensive air photographs of the isle open the programme as the audience embarks on a journey through the historical past of Kaho'olawe.

In antiquity, the top of the isle was used as an astronomic observation station and its south point was an excellent starting point for canoeing to Tahiti. On the traces of the later history of the isle, the film examines the deterioration of the island's physical resource through the import of nanny-goat, lamb, bovine and bombs.

It was tabooed one of the days after the Pearl Harbor assault and used by the US army as a bomb smithy. This persisted until 1990. In the 1970s, the history of Kaho'olawe changed when the Hawaiians began to invade the country and protest against its rape. From the obligation to stop the bombardment and to revitalize the islands native and cultured heritage, the Protect Kaho'olawe'Ohana (Family) was made.

Your visit to Kaho'olawe for archaeological research, aquatic study, replanting activity and worship ritual are emphasized by the yearly observation of Makahiki, a time of peacemaking hailed with dancing, musical and festivities. Lastly, the programme looks at the discussion between the Hawaiian army and the Hawaiians on the prospects for Kaho'olawe.

President Bush's order to stop the 1990 bombings was followed by a congress operation to provide resources for the withdrawal of munitions and to give the isle back to the Hawai'i supreme state until it was recognized. Hawaii's struggle to maintain the islands as a rich culture and education source for the population opened the way for today's move for Hawaii's independency and supremacy.
