more it costs, and the sad thing is locals can't afford and don't get paid <br />enough for it. If it's undeveloped we can learn more history, language, <br />chants, songs, tools, plants,etc. all from the ancient Hawaiians. <br />Some of the plants we're planting and helping are very rare and helpful for <br />the `aina and Hawaii. Some are alahe'e, milo, 'awa. Just like Kawa, which <br />means the canoe or canoes, 'awa is called the canoe plant because <br />Hawaiians used to drink out of the gourd or use this plants leaves. Honu, <br />the Hawaiian sea turtles also come to swim around in the waters of Kawa, <br />and it is very special when that happens. Most of the plants and animals <br />that live and grow there are very rare to see on the Big Island and the rest <br />of the islands. <br />In the future, I hope that Kawa and other historical sites and places stay the <br />same and undeveloped, so I could show my family and my kids one day. <br />In the future, I hope it'll be even better and cleaned up more than before <br />and now. I would love to help because I know that Hawaii deserves better <br />and deserves to look the best it can. Hawaii is a very special place and it <br />should be known as a very special place not only for the historic people <br />and gods, but the `aina as well. And that's why I think Hawaii is amazing. <br />MAHALO, <br />Cheydon Kaluahine-Salmo <br />
