Saint Francis Manoa which IS the Kaualaʻa Heiau, is imminently threatened with clearcutting and demolition, tragic and irreversible laying waste to this beautiful cultural historic sanctuary property which is now known to be a  HEIAU in its entirety to the god Lono (rain, agriculture, fertility, music and peace) and the place where high chiefess Kailikapuolono gave birth to Emma Kailikapuolono Nakuina.  if DPP approves Avalonʻs petition to build 2-3 million dollar price tag high density housing (with NO affordable units,  152 dwellings, 378 cars) what is now a spiritual sanctuary will be converted to a tragically and irreversibly desecrated wasteland. 

 

With the recommendation of the State Historic Preservation Division under Hawaiʻiʻs historic preservation law HRS 6E sections 10, 16 and 31, Governor Green can and must condemn this priceless cultural historic gem wahi pana to protect and preserve it in perpetuity as a historic monument. https://files.hawaii.gov/dlnr/shpd/rules/6E.pdf Call SHPD archeology Chief Susan Lebo and email her at susan.a.lebo@hawaii.gov and email Governor Josh Green at joshgreenmd@me.com or call the Governorʻs office at (808)586-0034 or use this link to contact the Governor https://governor.hawaii.gov/contact-us/contact-the-governor/
