I was a student of <br /> about 26 that visited Hawaii with a professor from Duluth, MN back in 2006. I am upset to hear that <br /> anyone wants to develop in the area of the Black Sands. <br /> When I was visiting and learning about the culture and people who live in that azea, I felt like home. <br /> The people there are very gracious and hospitable. Not only were they friendly, but very knowledgable <br /> about their environment. I could feel their sense of belonging and at the same time their sense of losing <br /> when it comes to developing azound sacred areas. <br /> I feel that the land around the Black Sands should be left for those in the future to learn and see how <br /> Hawaii was or still is. I was a student that loved the culture and environment that the Hawaiians <br /> portrayed to me when I was there. Above all, I want to come back and still be able to visit all the areas <br /> that I visited and be able to bring others to learn about Hawaii. It was a wonderful experience to see <br /> what I could when I was there and it would be a shame to not have that for future generations or future <br /> classes from Duluth. <br /> In closing, I support Hawaii County Resolution 169-07. Do not take this away from us and the local <br /> Hawaiians. If you do, what will be there to show future mainlanders when we come twice a year to visit <br /> and learn? Hopefully plenty. Thank you for your time and consideration in my opinion. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> Nancy Vang <br /> . <br /> - c__ <br /> c.:, <br /> rv <br /> <j. <br /> ~7 <br /> Comm. No. 3 <br /> Ref.
