M. ROY:So would you say thereÓs a degree of condition thatÓs necessary but, to have by those who would come on the property and help or seek to help? KANAHELE:Ask me that question, I had something else in mind. M. ROY:IÓll re-state the question. You just talked about how you prepare the students and how it takes some time. I would say by hearing question is, the people that do come on site, would you agree that they have been given at least ample information to begin with on the background and what they are doing consciously before they are engaged even upon the land? KANAHELE:Well, I think that, though, that the students that go into Keolonhihi and Keakealani probably know more about that place than anybody else, so theyÓre getting a lot of information. TheyÓre getting most of the information that I know. M. ROY:Do you know family members of this land area? Perhaps yo even have had members in your classes. KANAHELE:That connect back to Keakealani, yeah, Òcause one of the things that they do is do their genealogy in class, especially with that class. And, so, a lot of them can connect back to Keakealani or to Kamehameha, and it bec meaningful to them. M. ROY:Is there a prerequisite for that class? KANAHELE:The prerequisite is that they have to take some other classes before they get there. M. ROY:So you wouldnÓt call it an introductory class? KANAHELE:ItÓs not an introductory class, yes. M. ROY:How long have you been teaching that particular series? KANAHELE:Over 10 years. M. ROY:And that has been just about yearly, then, that class? KANAHELE:Until IÓm too old, very soon. M. ROY:I have many more questions. IÓd like to afford an opportunity for varied discussion, if I may, Madam Chair? GIFFIN:Thank you. Thank you very much. Why donÓt we begin, the with the Applicant and then weÓll go along with the various parties, and then, of course, the Hearings Officers, in that order. Mr. Vitousek. 11
