Partnerships, Pathways, Markers and Trails that connect People and Places.
Both seen and beyond the veil.
Pathways
of ancestors.
From the first shell creatures,
turtle tails
and puhi,
dragging marks in the sand.
Land to water
to air to
land to water.
Cycles of pathways,
Inter-connect.
Land to water
to air to
land to water,
through time.
Long passed.
They set the way,
Sea creatures,
Flightless birds,
Flying wonders,
Wigglers,
Wrigglers,
Gigglers,
Swimmers,
Two-legged
Four-legged
A multitude before us.
Making Marks.
Paths
among the stationary
guides.
Trails turned to roads.
Where will the highways take us
if no guardians remain?

Land relationship slideshow by Aunty Yvonne. Ho‘ola Ka Makana‘ā o Ka‘ūpūlehu director, and outreach coordinator 2002-2022. Mahalo to Bob Cabin, Susan Cordell and Keoki Apokolani Carter for photo contributions. To Peter Simmons, Bob Lindsey and Neal Hannahs for guidance 2002-2012.
1780-1848 inheritance of this ahupua’a, with several historic names handed down and retained as important, favored lands to ali‘i. This continued to Kamehameha V during Mahele. The 1885 population of this ahupua‘a homeland population and Kahuwai was recorded to be 1,233 with a dramatic decline by 1900. See some names of record associated with these lands in this slideshow. In 1917, the large Maguire lease ended and 31-acres were deeded to him and his wife Luka Hopulā’au. Today, in 2021, Kamehameha Schools still owns all except less than 50-acres in the ahupua‘a of Ka‘ūpūlehu. Several bio-cultural programs care for these important and beloved homelands.

Another important Ka‘ūpūlehu collaboration has been with the PICCC (Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative) project. This diverse, extended ‘ohana created a seasonal calendar and educational portal as one of the PICCC TEK (Traditional Education Knowledge) sites. The following links will connect you to a few of the many resources used to better understand, plan and manage the lands of Ka‘ūpūlehu. Many Partners worked together to bring these resources together.

This site strives to honor the elements that sustain us daily.
Mahalo to those who care for place, mālama ‘āina, as daily living—kuleana.
For many PILINA means, there is no separation of art, observation, science, education, and restoration. They are woven into the creative spirit and gift of daily living.
The challenge, is how to fit this thinking into modern constructs and limitations while honoring the complex and interconnected breathe of life. To those who came before—and links to those yet here.
