I support the project because this is a site that has definitely been left without a caretaker and now the ancestors are remembered not removed, we come to celebrate them acknowledge they are our people the Koko runs deep that's why we are connected. <br>
That's what makes us connected our bones, our blood and the Aina back than they buried their loved ones near the home they didn't have a cemetery like we have now. No developments!!!

Living in Hawaiian beaches, and seeing that waikahiula beach park as one of the last vestiges of native habitat that hold deep cultural and spiritual value to the Hawaiian people, the same people that the subdivision is named for, the Hawaiian people, over the years we’ve seen people move here or invest their money into rental properties and to buy homes here, and we’ve seen people willfully cut down our precious coastline endemic species (lauhala), purely for their view and to profit off our their investments, without any forethought to cultural significance of these places and spaces; although our coastline is under special management, without proper advocacy and education, these places are still at risk from inconsiderate impact from people not of place. People are leaving California enmass and buying up the last remaining undeveloped land in east Hawai’i, their fleeing their climate prone cities and neighborhoods because it has become increasingly apparent that thaws very harmful mindsets have placed aina under aggressive dominion that has led lands of America to become desolate and fire prone, and because western culture is not one of that teaches stewardship, but rather a utilitarian way of commodifying nature and land, and because of that we’re seeing massive amounts of people moving here with little connection to place, or understand of the impact their actions have on aina and people, waikahiula beach park and adjacent properties would be a boon for cultural practice, and serve as an important means to teach and promote cultural values of Hawaii, as well be a beacon for stewardship and aloha aina, that are the values born of this very land, my family asks that you consider these properties for a ponc land purchase and support Noeau in protecting iwi kupuna and advocating for our aina.<br>

Nanea supported: Protect Hawaiian Cultural Sites of Waiakahiʻula, Puna, HawaiʻiHawai’i has long suffered the detrimental impacts of construction over native ancestral grounds, much of which contributed largely to the health of the environment as well as the well being of the People of the Kingdom of Hawai’i. To take away yet another plot of ancestral grounds from those who have dedicated their livelihoods and culture to caring for the land, taking it as their responsibility to maintain, is an egregious violation of Trust of the Trask Ohana. Decision makers should take a hard look at their actions and remind themselves of their Kuleana to perpetuate the culture through proper care of this Aina by those who truly know it—the Trask Ohana.
