Rebirth of a Sacred Hawaiian Island - Smithsonian Institute June 5 - September 2, 2002

Aloha Kakou. This home page is the launching off point for information on Kaho`olawe Island in the State of Hawaii. The information is provided to you by the Protect Kaho`olawe `Ohana.The island of Kaho`olawe, Kohemalamalama `o Kanaloa, is to be managed as a Hawaiian cultural reserve for eventual transfer to a sovereign Hawaiian nation. As envisioned in the motto "Kukulu ke ea a Kanaloa," the island will expand as a learning center where traditional Hawaiian cultural customs, beliefs, and practices can be freely practiced and can flourish for future generations.
