Heather L. Kimball, Council Member
Council District 1
District 1 Appointment to the County of Hawaii Youth Commission:
Ulunuiokamamalu Killion
I am pleased to introduce Ulunuiokamamalu Killion as Council District 1's appointment to the
County of Hawaii Youth Commission.
Kamamalu, as she is affectionately known, is a lineal descendant of the Kanaka`ole `ohana,
being the great granddaughter of Aunty Edith Kanaka`ole. A sophomore at Ka `Umeke Kd'eo
Public Charter School, Kamamalu is exceptionally versed in Hawaiian language and culture and
is active in her community.
Currently, Kamamalu is an `opio delegate for Hui Aloha `Aina o Hilo, a recent delegate at the
`Aha `Opio for the Council of Native Hawaiian Advancements, her school's class representative
for both 91h and 1 Oth grade, and a volunteer of many events, including the planning committee for
Ku `Anuenue and its recent Inclusive from, and with the International Va`a Federation 2024
World Sprints held in Hilo, to name a few.
I believe Kamamalu's cultural connection and interests position her to be an impactful voice for
her peers, and a beneficial member on the County of Hawaii Youth Commission for a 2-year
term ending January 1, 2027.
Please place this communication on the December 18, 2024 Council agenda.
