From: Kinohi Lee <br /> To: WPCtestirronv <br /> Subject: SAVE PUNALU U <br /> Date: Saturday,March 9,2024 8:26:24 AM <br /> Aloha Mae kako, <br /> My name is Kinohi Lee,great great grandchild to Aunty Elizabeth Maluihi Lee.I now reside in the district of kau <br /> with my Ohana.As a child my grandmother would take us down to Punalu'u and observe all the lush Waimea style <br /> weather,the honu's basking in the sunshine,walking the trails of our ancestors that came before us,and you know <br /> you always have to stop for malasadas at punalu'u bakery.I would have never imagined as a child that some rich <br /> contractor would come by someday and try and destroy this sacred land.This is a ahupua'a,this is not just land! <br /> This is life,this is ha or the breath we breathe.We want our beaches to last generations! We want our Keiki to be <br /> able to also see the beauty we once saw! I'm so outraged with our state,is Kohanaiki not enough,was a'ole TMT <br /> not enough,is our word NOT ENOUGH!!! We are not here for the money,we are here to bring OUR people home! <br /> Let's work harder on providing for the native Hawaiians still living and less on the tourists DESTROYING <br /> EVERYTHING!! I'm not sure what the state has in mind with this agenda down at Punalu'u but this is not pono. <br /> Have you seen the tourists dying due to jumping off South Point?Well if you allow this complex to be built,you <br /> will be victim to seeing more and more of that.They do not malama aina and we all know the Hawaiians of <br /> punalu'u will not be able to afford this luxurious resort.BUILD IT IN OAHU ITS ALREADY DESTROYED!! <br /> Mahalo Nui, <br /> Pray for Hawaii! Pray for our ancestors!Pray to be more pono! Aloha <br />
