KANAHELE:There is definite education that can be gained deeper into the <br />Hawaiian psyche as to why the land is important and the whole land which is something <br />that weÓve not revealed before. And weÓve not revealed it because, like we talked about, <br />sometimes when you reveal something people donÓt understand it, <br />enough to understand it, or having been initially educated to come to that point of <br />understanding it. And, so, in not understanding, it erodes itÓs purpose; and, so, those that <br />understand it just kept it within a very tight group of people. But weÓre in this time of our <br />life when, you know, weÓre running around trying to save all of our sacred places. And <br />the sacredness of certain places needs to be extolled, need to be answered. The questions <br />why, the questions who and what needs to be told. And I think the education of it would <br />help us a great deal. <br />SPRINGER:And thereÓs that kako pau, is that all of us including those who are <br />not of the koko HawaiÒi, of the Hawaiian blood? <br />KANAHELE:Yeah, I think it has to be all of us because we all live here in these <br />islands now. <br />SPRINGER:And one last question.

The other part of it is that they didnÓt look at specific things like that, they looked at <br />things as a whole. And so itÓs not like, you know, like theyÓre cutting up the land for <br />kuleanas and living in apartments, things like that. Everything wasnÓt so separated; and <br />so they had to look at it as a whole, which is inclusive of your site. And so when you <br />30 <br /> <br />
