Visit to Kahoolawe confirms visit to Kyuleana in its conservation work

Recently, the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement travelled to the off-shore of Maui. "Our work is generational," said Michael Nahoopii, Kaho'olawe Iceland Reserve Commission (KIRC) Executive Director and CNHA Chair. "The importance of the recovery of Kahoolawe lies in the futures of our nation. The visit confirms the company's commitment to the conservation of Kahoolawe isle.

The work we are doing today to preserve and heal this place will lay the foundations for the next generation of Hawaiians." The KIRC welcomes survivors to help restore the arid and jagged archipelago, which has suffered everything from 500 tons of TNT detonation to the invasion of animal and plant life throughout its entirety.

During the four days of the journey, the delegates assisted in the preparation of the preparation of Mount Honokanaia Bay site with a view of the Bay of Honokanaia, where a 20 year commemoration is scheduled for later this year since the US Army ceased its use of the area. Further acitvities were the collection of corals, the planning of piligras, the installation of mats to protect against soil degradation and the establishment of watering lines for indigenous herbs.

The group was accompanied by Atwood (Maka) Makanani, who passed on his comprehensive understanding of the culture and holiness of the isle. In the end, the delegates thanked Atwood and Nahoopii for their leadership and the kindness of the other KIRC people.

Some of them were touched to tears as they thought about how the journey had confirmed their appreciation of what it was like to be associated with the country, and the responsibilities, or kuleana, they had to return both the Isle, and more broadly, the indigenous Hawaiian civilization, to bodily and mental wellbeing.

Everyone was unanimous that the Kahoolawe voyage was an rewarding one that would take them for years to come.
