Historic Honolulu Landing - Government Beach Road, Pahoa
Testimony in Strong Support of HI County Acquisition of Parcels 1-4-003:020 & 1-4-003:019 (Honolulu
Ahupua'a, Puna)
Aloha Council Chair and LAAC Committee Members,
"He ali'i ka'aina, he kauw5 ke kanaka."
The land is chief, and we are its servants.
I submit this testimony in strong support of the County's acquisition of parcels 1-4-003:020 and 1-4-
003:019 through the PONC program OR LAAC/MayoralApproval. Together, these parcels comprise the
entire ahupua'a of Honolulu in Puna —a wahi pana of profound cultural, historical, and ecological
significance.
