From: Claire K Baio-REALTOR BROKER <br /> To: WPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: TESTIMONY-PUNALUU KA'U HAWAII ISLAND DEVELOPMENT-ALOHA SPIRIT LAW HRS 5-7.5 <br /> Date: Wednesday, March 6,2024 9:50:27 PM <br /> Aloha- <br /> My apologies for this late email and testimony. Any developments in and near the ahupua'a <br /> located at Punalu'u and the Ka'u district will be violating the Aloha Spirit Law HRS 5-7.5 if <br /> the Residents and their Aumakua do not agree with how this community is currently proposed. <br /> The land is very sacred and building on or near an ancient cemetery will only cause unrest <br /> with the spirits and ancestors,which may affect the health& welfare of your visitors and <br /> owners who do not respect the sacred sites. <br /> As we saw with the two resorts near Kahalu'u Beach in Kailua-Kona; the Keauhou Beach <br /> Hotel and the Kona Lagoon.. both hotels were demolished because of the desecration to the <br /> sacred sites that the hotels covered over,with no regard to the ancient sites, and hauntings & <br /> deaths that would occur because of their disrespect.. though, the Keauhou Surf& Racquet <br /> Club respected the sites,the Na Hale o Keauhou condo complex is haunted on the north end <br /> units [where people still see night marchers walking through their units mauka to makai, per a <br /> previous tenant and realtors who knew that there are bones still buried nearby]. <br /> This area of Ka'u has one of the largest heiau,temple complexes and sacred pyramid sites in <br /> the area and should be preserved as a cultural park [like City of Refuge],not as a resort or <br /> even as private property .. building anywhere in this ahupua'a will stir up the ancestors if not <br /> consulted with proper ohana, residents and protocol. <br /> My grandmother was born in Hilea, so I have a personal interest in how the sacred areas <br /> should be cared for.. appeasing the ancestors is of most importance for this and anyone <br /> wishing to develop in Ka'u. <br /> Please be respectful of the unseen forces that the Aloha Spirit Law says to acknowledge, as <br /> seeing the unseen and knowing the unknown is written in the law and must be acknowledged <br /> by all parties.. especially while on ancient Hawaiian Kingdom land and royal patents in & <br /> around the Ka'u district. <br /> Mahalo for your time. <br /> With Warmest Aloha—Claire <br /> Claire K.
