I stand in support of protecting Mapulehu Valley and its sacred lands from unjust development and misuse. This area is not only a critical archaeological site but also holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for Native Hawaiians. The voices of kuleana land title holders must be respected, and access to ancestral lands should not be denied. Molokai’s lands should be preserved for agricultural, cultural, and conservational purposes to honor its history and protect its future. Let’s prioritize stewardship over exploitation and ensure that Hawai‘i’s sacred places remain intact for generations to come. Mālama ‘āina, always.
Hawai’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.
Villa Rica needs to fix the roads they already have, not build more roads and replace the homes with gaudy apartment complexes. There’s potholes that have been covered with metal sheets for months and instead of fixing the roads the city wants to tear apart communities and destroy beautiful swaths of forest.
Disappointing yet not surprising how corporations continue to target historically black communities for monetary benefit. It’s a shame to see gentrification taking place so close to home, history repeating itself. I hope these families are equipped with legal representation and boxing gloves! Keep fighting!
No one should ever be in fear of losing their home because of development or a road making life easier for surrounding communities, whether affluent or not.
