We pledge our wholehearted <br /> support for the people of Ka' u and Resolution 169-07 that will protect the sacred <br /> lands of Punalu~u and the ONLY remaining public beach park in Kau. The last <br /> great open space in Hawaii is part of the ancient heritage of the Hawaiian people. <br /> It is also the longest undeveloped shoreline in the state and home to countless <br /> endangered species. It should be given historical status and preserved and <br /> protected always. Protecting Ka' u is vital to the survival of Hawai' is unique <br /> island culture and fragile ecosystem. <br /> Our family lived in Hawaii for many, many years and return as often as possible. <br /> Tragically, since we moved there in 1969 so much of the sacred land of the native <br /> peoples and the unparalleled beauty of Hawaii has been eroded and destroyed by <br /> rampant, often unprincipled development. Please save Punalu'u for the people of <br /> Ka'u, and indeed, for the whole World aS a living classroom and educational resource that <br /> will a source of spiritual and cultural enrichment and national pride for all present and future <br /> generations of the people of America. <br /> Finally, we would like to suggest nominating Punalu'u and Ka'u for consideration <br /> as one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites. <br /> Yours very sincerely, <br /> Dona van Bloemen (nee Haskin) <br /> David & Srey Mom Haskin <br /> Honey Anne Haskin <br /> Amber Makai Haskin (born Kailua August 1970) <br /> Donald & Karen Haskin <br /> Santa Monica, CA 90403 <br /> Fussy?
