In mid November, we met with the DLNR Director and other State leaders, and worked out an agreement where our village would clean and clear areas of Puʻuhonua O Waiʻanae (POW) makai ourselves, instead of DLNR coming with heavy equipment and enforcement to “sweep” our people.
Since that meeting, we've cleared and cleaned dozens of campsites. If construction keeps pace and units are ready, we move people up to our Waiʻanae Valley property. If units are not ready for occupancy, as an interim step, we sometimes move some people away from areas that DLNR has prioritized for clearing to other areas of the Harbor.
All the areas your see here used to have camps. We are making progress at POW makai, and we thank the many people that have come to help.
Mahalo nui!
