Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br /> Minutes —October 27, 2014 <br /> and some kind of notification of what was going on. After all, this land, <br /> especially the ones that are eradicating the sheep — are considering the <br /> lease back to the military. Especially the impact area, I want that to be <br /> cleaned up and rules for hunting in the future and there is a lot of <br /> archaeological sites on that place. <br /> So I don't think that the military has the right to just shoot all these animals <br /> that was given to the King, Kamehameha III and the people in Hawaii and <br /> hunters and so forth and so that's why I'm here. I wanted to know who <br /> gave the authority - if our senators or congressmen that knew about his <br /> and if not then we should have it brought to their attention because this <br /> wrong. This is not what Hawaii is about. A lot of People forget that this <br /> Hawaii, this is not America where we have different ways of doing things <br /> and especially in this unique life and culture as well. That's what I wanted <br /> to say and... <br /> Chair Lodge: I can't speak to that since the Colonel is not here. But we did have <br /> a meeting with him today and from what I understand, he was very much <br /> against this eradication. This is mostly Fish and Wildlife Service due to <br /> [unclear] option that was issued. So I'm not sure that he had much <br /> opportunity to do anything about it. But that's basically all I can tell you <br /> about it, since he's not here tonight. He was scheduled to be at our last <br /> meeting but— Tony, will to talk more about this too as we go on this <br /> evening. <br /> L. Case: Ok. <br /> Chair Lodge: Thank you. Kona? <br /> M. Bartell: Yes, we have Teresa Nakama here. <br /> T. Nakama: Aloha everyone. The question I have is —where in the membership <br /> that it represents Hawaiian Cultural gathering rights of Hawaiian cultural <br /> history that one can bring to the present, I mean who on board sits with <br /> this type of knowledge? GMAC... <br /> Chair Lodge: Is that a question? <br /> T. Nakama: It's a question for the board to answer. GMAC is supposed to be <br /> representing... <br /> Chair Lodge: OK. This isn't a question and answer period. <br /> T. Nakama: No, no, no. It's something for you folks to consider because this is <br /> what GMAC was initially brought about. It's about our gathering rights, our <br /> hunters, our fishermen. This is not a western thinking island. We're Hawaii <br /> 2 <br />
