Thank you for confirming receipt of the jump drive containing the TCP study and for your comments and questions. The three documents sent make up the TCP study meet stipulation 1.13.6. of the Disaster Recovery Programmatic Agreement, " The NPS will provide copies of the draft TCP study (including data gathered during the second stage of the study described in 1.1313) to the Consulting Parties for a 90-calendar day review and comment period." As you mentioned, in stipulation I.B.i., the TCP study will "document the ethnographic significance of HAVO, including the Kilauea Summit and Caldera. The documentation shall focus on Pelehonuamea and her physical representations within the park The TCP study will be used to inform the development of the TCP National Register Nomination described in I.B.ii. The TCP study shall compile existing historic data on the sacredness and traditional historical use of the park lands as tied to the journey of Pelehonuamea. It will also discuss the continued traditional use of the area in the modern day, including oral histories with Native Hawaiians associated with the site". The documents sent include both the compilation of historic data on the sacredness and tradition historical use of the park land as tied to the journey of Pelehonuamea and her physical representations within the park and includes the oral history portion of the project. Together, all three documents make up the TCP study. To assist you in your review of the ethnohistorical document, the author has used underlining throughout the text to highlight specific key information to draw the attention of the reader. This includes specific place names, site references, individuals, landscape features, traditions, practices, notable statements, the first occurrence of place names, narratives which contain specific actions, land areas and community responses. The highlights as well as the additional content of the study compile the existing historic data on the manifestations of Pele, the sacredness and traditional historical use of the park lands as well as how those traditions have continued through time and continue into the present day. This information will be used to develop the National Register Nomination once the study is finalized. There are multiple historic maps found within the document that reflect some of the landscape features, place names, etc. I hope this clarifies, we look forward to working with all of you on this important project and please reach out if you have additional questions. Have a great weekend!

Summer, I'm confirming receipt of the mailed jump drive (received 3/5/24 via mail). HHF was able to access the three reports (Ethnographic Background, Oral History Interviews, References). We look forward to reviewing the documents. Since the study is over 1000 pages (plus appendices), it would help me focus our review if you could send me the pages/references/figures that address the requirement in the PA that"The documentation shall focus on Pelehonuamea and her physical representations within the park" (Stip. I.B.i). In looking at the table of contents and list of figures, I didn't see anything to seems to address this requirement, but it would help if you could tell me where to look. Is there a table or map or summary? I'm reattaching HHF's comments on the Phase I TCP Report (December 2022) that asked this same question. As noted previously, HHF will be looking for descriptions of tangible features, characteristics and locations that depict or relate to the historic and cultural significance. Since the title of the report is "Ethnohistorical Study of'Aina within Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park" I'm not sure if this report had the same scope of inquiry and deliverable as a Traditional Cultural Property Study. Ethnohistorical studies do not necessarily include assessment of physical characteristics and mapping, while TCP studies do. Thank you for your help and we look forward to reviewing the report.

As a result of the Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park(HAVO) Disaster Recovery project in response to the 2018 Kilauea eruption, a Programmatic Agreement was developed in consultation with the State of Hawaj`i Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) (HICRIS 2021 PR00143), the Historic Hawai`j Foundation (HHF), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACNP) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). As included in the Agreement, the park is pursuing a Traditional Cultural Property(TCP) National Register Nomination in consultation with the HAVO Kupuna consultation group and additional consulting parties. The first part of developing the National Register Nomination is the completion of a TCP study. The draft TCP study(stipulation I.B.6.) is ready for your review and includes 1) the Ethnographic Background, 2) Appendix A, Oral History Interviews, and 3) Appendix B, Historical Documentary References. The files are very large, so you be receiving a jump drive in the mail. If you can please reach out to confirm that you received it that would be greatly appreciated it. I will attempt to upload it into the HICRIS system for those of you at SHPD but am also sending a jump drive to your office. The review period will be open until June 7, 2024 and we look forward to continuing to work with all of you on this important project.
