And so, instead neglecting it, we as young people want to learn more so we can pass it on to our children. And Kaho'olawe is a very significant part of our culture. Now the 'ohana can turn its full attention to the task of healing the 'aina. The ordnance has to be removed. The cultural sites have to be stabilized.
Soil erosion has to be stopped.
Ground cover and trees need to be planted. The native birds need to be attracted back to the island. And the surrounding marine life needs to be protected. The Protect Kaho'olawe 'Ohana will continue to serve as stewards of the island. We intend to manage Kaho'olawe as a trust until the nation of Hawai'i is recognized as a sovereign entity and jurisdiction can be turned over to the nation.
