Subject: TESTIMONY-PUNALUU KA'U HAWAII ISLAND DEVELOPMENT-ALOHA SPIRIT LAW HRS 5-7.5
Date: Wednesday, March 6,2024 9:50:27 PM
Aloha-
My apologies for this late email and testimony. Any developments in and near the ahupua'a
located at Punalu'u and the Ka'u district will be violating the Aloha Spirit Law HRS 5-7.5 if
the Residents and their Aumakua do not agree with how this community is currently proposed.
The land is very sacred and building on or near an ancient cemetery will only cause unrest
with the spirits and ancestors,which may affect the health& welfare of your visitors and
owners who do not respect the sacred sites.
As we saw with the two resorts near Kahalu'u Beach in Kailua-Kona; the Keauhou Beach
Hotel and the Kona Lagoon.. both hotels were demolished because of the desecration to the
sacred sites that the hotels covered over,with no regard to the ancient sites, and hauntings &
deaths that would occur because of their disrespect.. though, the Keauhou Surf& Racquet
Club respected the sites,the Na Hale o Keauhou condo complex is haunted on the north end
units [where people still see night marchers walking through their units mauka to makai, per a
previous tenant and realtors who knew that there are bones still buried nearby].
This area of Ka'u has one of the largest heiau,temple complexes and sacred pyramid sites in
the area and should be preserved as a cultural park [like City of Refuge],not as a resort or
even as private property .. building anywhere in this ahupua'a will stir up the ancestors if not
consulted with proper ohana, residents and protocol.
My grandmother was born in Hilea, so I have a personal interest in how the sacred areas
should be cared for.. appeasing the ancestors is of most importance for this and anyone
wishing to develop in Ka'u.
Please be respectful of the unseen forces that the Aloha Spirit Law says to acknowledge, as
seeing the unseen and knowing the unknown is written in the law and must be acknowledged
by all parties.. especially while on ancient Hawaiian Kingdom land and royal patents in &
around the Ka'u district.
Mahalo for your time.
With Warmest Aloha—Claire
