We have been reminded of the inherent beauty and cultural richness of the longstanding families that serve as <br /> Punulu'u's custodians. We aze awaze of the stories implicit in the material cultural of the ancestors and are reminded to hold <br /> <br /> precious the sanctity of the heiau that stand as guazdians azound Punalu'u. <br /> Arguments have been presented regazding sustainable development which incorporates tourism. Developmental <br /> <br /> tourism has unfortunately hosted a deluge of problems with one important consequence - no fuming back. Allowing <br /> development would so severely impact the aquifer system of ponds and springs that feed Punalu'u that it would forever be <br /> changed. Protection of this sacred land is therefore vital for the lifeblood of this fully functioning and thriving ahupua'a of <br /> Hawaii which allows for the cultural and traditional practices of the peoples who have long been its benefactors. <br /> It goes without saying, Punalu'u is the thriving, beating heazt of the Ka'u Ahupua'a. We would not want to destroy <br /> this by splitting the vital organs and desecrating the mana that flows from this region. <br /> I fully support the "Keolalani Hanoa" resolution (No. 169-07), proposed by the Honorable Councilman, Bob <br /> Jacobson Malama Punalu'u, and its endorcement by the Council. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Trisha M.
