ethnobotanical information on native Hawaiian plants and trees came from Beatrice Krauss' <br /> Plants in Hawaiian Culture. <br /> Based on that information, the resources that were identirfied as having valued cultural, <br /> historical and natural resources within Palamanui were: <br /> 1. Certain habitation and agricultural features that were identified as significant in <br /> the Archaeological Survey and recommended for preservation. <br /> 2. Petroglyphs and trail segments that were identified in the Archaeological Survey <br /> significant and recommended for preservation. <br /> 3. Lava tube cave habitation features and caves with evidence of water collection <br /> features determined to be archaeologically significant and those identified in the Cave Fauna <br /> Survey as biologically significant. <br /> 4. Botanical resources important to Hawaiian practitioners, including the lowland dry <br /> forest reserve area of 65+ acres. <br /> 5. Land forms and view planes of geographic features important to the Kekaha <br /> r <br /> region. The view in the vicinity of SHP site 23870 looking mauka and makai was especially <br /> noted. The vantage point allows sweeping views of the coastline in the area and the pu'us to the <br /> north and east <br /> • Guiding Principles. The INCRMP provides the means of reestablishing a stewardship <br /> <br /> ` ethic for future protection and use of cultural and natural resources of Palamanui. Management <br /> of cultural and natural resources must accommodate ongoing human activities, both traditional <br /> and contemporary while preserving significant cultural, natural resource and archaeological sites. <br /> An important part of this management process is to reestablish a stewardship ethic in the <br /> context of modern society. <br /> The guiding principles which can be used to reestablish a stewardship ethic can be found <br /> in the traditional ahupua'a system. The ahupua'a provided its tenants with almost all of the <br /> resources they needed. The land which now comprises Palamanui was once linked to coastal <br /> areas from which the tenants obtained fish and other food both from the ocean and fishponds. <br /> The tenants also farmed mauka land where rainfall was more abundant and gathered plants and <br /> n~i~n;mv~i~s~uac~r~az~osr9osr~~ 3 <br /> <br />
