I oppose this Change of Zone 45, and I suppose, also SMA 46 they should revoke that SMA. Thank you. VITOUSEK: Mahalo. Okay, next we have Clare Loprissi, Loprissi? Aloha. LOPRISSL Aloha. Aloha kakou. "—" Clare Loprissi. [spoke in Hawaiian language - inaudible] I'm a pale keiki, I am a cultural practitioner, I am Sicilian by my bloodline and citizenship. I'm part of the sovereignty movement here. I was brought here since I was young, but I was a guided here by these ancestors. First of all, I need five and six, I have two things— VITOUSEK: Got it. LOPRISSL —so I have the six minutes. This issue is beyond sad for me and people that know me as a speaker as, a mana wahine and have seen me for years testifying at every issue. This one is heavy for me. That Kuakini Wall, I'll start with that. That Kuakini Wall, first of all hewa! That anybody would even think of going through that. Any Commissioner sitting here, anybody that's been paid off by any Mayor to sit on these boards to vote a certain way, be careful. As a pale keiki, that is a traditional midwife. Now they're not a lot of traditional midwives left, there are plenty in the world but they're trying to get rid of them. But I'm not going to go off on that issue. But that can be read and write. I have been, we are taught through our dreams. We are guided by our ancestors and our kuleana is deep. It is protect of[spoke in Hawaiian language - inaudible], the iwi. So, when you look at that Kuakini Wall, how dare anybody think they'll go through it. All of the iwi of every ohana, that had a baby and if you ever helped a baby come into the world, and they know that someone's left it you would know. You would know how emotional this issue is about me because there's `ili iwi, `ili`ili. So, those little`ili`ili, those little rocks, that divides them. So, if you have someone else in your family you got to take out that whole lineage. Now, that area of Kuakini that should even be disputed that's the oldest documented graveyard for the last 500 years. I have encouraged people that I helped birth; I just did six in just Hawaiian Home Lands. Do not take your excavators down there, it will fall on your children and your children's children and their children. If you understand generational trauma and your cultural reference, you will understand how important and how hard it is already to help Hawaiian families. I just helped up at Pu`uanahulu. The first generations since 1955 be born there. Hanahulu is her name. Our ancestors have never left. Your ancestors now follow me in birth because I'm part of your land now. I have my own bloodlines and I like my own bloodlines. But this issue of going through a wall if not or excavating anything on Alii Drive. Hewa! I feel for the families that sold out, but you guys knew what you were doing too. So, when you look at these practices, it has a deep effect even right now, the effect of our mauna be blasted.
