<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kiholo and Ka'upulehu (Kamakau, 1961. Pg 184). <br /> <br /> 12 Archaeological features on this flow are few. <br /> 13 Archaeological features are the signature of our ancestors' presence <br /> on the land. 'The absence of our ancestors' signature upon the landscape <br /> speaks as clearly as the presence of their signature upon the land." (Kumu <br /> Pono Associates, May 1998. Pg. 96) This flow Is wao akua, a region of the <br /> gods, as compared with wao kanaka a region of rnEn. <br /> <br /> 14 Natural resources are cultural resources. The natural landscape is <br /> the cultural landscape. This lava flow is a cultural resource. <br /> <br /> 15 Appendix A (Kumu Pono Associates, May 1998) presents a collection <br /> of data. <br /> <br /> 16 An objective of Appendix A is to "assess the effect of the project on the <br /> significant (cultural or historic) sites". <br /> <br /> 17 Information on Hinakapo'ula, a wahi pana, and an informant's <br /> opinion on wao akua were presented in Appendix A of the Integrated <br /> Resources Management Plan (IRMP). <br /> <br /> 18 No assessment methodology is presented in either the IRMP or <br /> Appendix A. <br /> <br /> 19 The IRMP offers mitigative and interpretive treatment of certain types <br /> of cultural and historical resources. <br /> <br /> 20 In the IRMP discussion of "Sites associated with native Hawaiian <br /> religious and ceremonial practices" for both Subzone B-2 (IRMP, June <br /> 1998. Pg. 57) and Subzone B-3 (IRMP, June 1998. Pg. 61) indicates that <br /> "None were identified." <br /> <br /> 21 A wao akua was identified during data collection but not assessed for <br /> significance. <br /> <br /> 22 A wao akua was identified during data collection but the potential <br /> impacts upon it were not assessed. <br /> <br /> 23 The work is inadequate. <br />
