Re: Nohopapa Hawaii, LLC Statement of Qualifications for Category PL.i)
Archaeology(including Anthropology).
Aloha mai,
This application packet is for the following category — PL.i) Archaeology (including
Anthropology).
Nohopapa Hawai`i, LLC is a small, Native Hawaiian owned and operated cultural resource
management (CRM) firm. Nohopapa Hawai`i's experience, passion, commitment, and
motivation to document and honor Hawai`i's`aina,wahi kupuna,and wahi pana extends over
15 years. Nohopapa Hawai`i provides a wide range of Hawaiian cultural resource
management services to assist agencies,private land owners, and communities in protecting
and restoring important wahi kupuna (ancestral places) and re-establishing loina kupuna
(cultural traditions). The term "noho papa" means to "reside in a place over the course of
generations." It is the mission of our organization to strengthen generational ties and time
honored commitments between communities and their lands once again. Noho means to
"become situated," while papa can also mean "layers," recognizing that in order to create
healthy communities,they must be firmly situated within the rich layers of historical meaning
of our Hawaiian places.It is a relationship between people and`aina that continually deepens
as the knowledge is gained and people themselves become established as a foundation piece
of the land.
Our team has conducted numerous ethnohistorical studies, traditional cultural property
studies,cultural impact assessments,archaeological investigations,`aina and wai inventories,
and preservation plans. We also have a considerable amount of experience in working with
Hawaiian communities across all the islands. Our staff is committed to high professional
standards concerning historic preservation, as well as possessing extensive cultural
background in regards to dealing with physical remains of our historical past. Our formal
education and work experience derives from the fields of Archaeology, Cultural
Anthropology, Hawaiian Studies, Geography, and Nanning. Our group also utilizes
Hawaiian language in our research in order to draw from a broader range of historical
documents to understand historical land use. We always strive to balance preservation
priorities with adaptive reuse and restoration to help make these cultural materials and
places relevant and meaningful to communities once again. Our group consists of Hawaiian
cultural practitioners that are capable of conducting appropriate ceremonies, chants, and
protocols to ensure the highest degree of respect and consideration is given to all projects and
work situations.

Nohopapa Hawai`i's platform is to increase awareness of our collective responsibility to

in Western science and balance that with the application of historical research and cultural
understanding of place.
Enclosed is a copy of our resumes, a list of references, and the specific employment
