EXHIBIT A
<br /> the acquisition of this property. The continuum of this massive trail network extends mauka into
<br /> Pu'uanahulu, southwest into the Kiholo State Park Reserve, makai to Kahapapa and Ku'uali'i fishponds,
<br /> and at one time,the northeastern portion,which is now surrounded by Waikoloa Beach Resort, remained
<br /> completely intact.. It is critical that spaces such as this be protected immediatelyto supportthe continuity
<br /> of traditional, place-based practices.
<br /> ANTICIPATED USE
<br /> • Public access is primarily by foot only.
<br /> • Parking is located near the Lava Lava Beach Club,a short walk to the beach and the trail network
<br /> which provides direct access to the coastal and inland portions of the property, respectively.
<br /> • The coastal segment of the property is expected to remain accessible according to current access
<br /> standards. Future use of the coastal portion of the property would likely remain the same.
<br /> • Keahualono Heiau (Figure 2), a ceremonial platform built for Lonoikamakahiki, the boundary
<br /> marker between North Kona and South Kohala and the northern boundary of
<br /> Kekahawai'oleonakona (the waterless lands of Kona) is still used today to perpetuate traditional
<br /> Hawaiian practices.

<br /> • Hi'iakaika'ale'i Heiau, which is suggested to have served as a ceremonial space for healing and
<br /> regrowth,will continue to be used for traditional practices relative to this heiauc.
<br /> • The Ala Nui Aupuni (Old Government Road) just east of the property is maintained across the
<br /> resort landscape, and is used for recreational and traditional cultural practices. The Ala Loa
<br /> (ancient trail network)within the lava flow of the property is still utilized by'ohana of Pu'uanahulu
<br /> as a way to maintain connections and reconnect with ancestral knowledge and experiences
<br /> through traditional cultural practices(Figure 4).Ala Kahakai Trail Association,Ala Kahakai National
