Honolulu Votes To Desecrate, Destroy Important Hawaiian Cultural Site

City Council, Mayor of Honolulu Votes To Desecrate And Destroy Important Hawaiian Cultural Site With Bill 65

Federal EIS Document Shows Location and Importance Of Major Hawaiian Burial Site
All historic and cultural research shows that this Honouliuli-Ewa area is one of the most very important cultural and historic area's in the State of Hawaii. The identified "Leina a ka Uhane"
is an especially sacred wahi pana of the highest level. A HART EIS TCP (Traditional Cultural Place) report in April 2012 documents this.


One could almost say with certainty that there appears to be a sacred "cosmic alignment" of Hawaiian cultural history and western history in this special TCP area. The major aviation fields, beginning with the 1925 Mooring Mast Field, all have in common with the ancient Hawaiian Leina belief, a "spirit leaping" or "flying away" concept. All pilots know the spiritual aspects of flying a plane.
This ancient area, before it became MCAS Ewa and Barbers Point naval airports, was known as Kanehili, which was very much associated in Hawaiian cultural history with birds-"manu" and for special ceremonial bird feathers. In modern times scientists have found in the many Karst sinkholes and caves of this area the bones of ancient rare birds, including large pre-historic birds too large to fly.
The major 1825 mapped trails show Oahu's largest native population- Honouliuli Ewa- centered around rich, fertile lo'i farmlands, clear fresh streams, Karst springs, and linked to mountain forest resources, abundant and prolific shoreline ponds, fisheries and the best limu in on Oahu. Limu is not only very important as a food and medicine, but also a critically important part of the shoreline ecology that is today being destroyed.
This same area is where the ancient Tahitians arrived and planted the first breadfruit tree. Elaborate trails were built to link the many important Kanehili areas with Honouliuli, and were used for the annual Makahiki ceremonies. Hawaiian goddess Hi'iaka describes a journey through this area nearly one thousand years ago. On certain special nights the legions of ancient Hawaiian warriors, killed in the area's epic land battles, are known to march with torches on these same Honouliuli Ewa spiritual trails.
A large area of the most important, rich and fertile ancient Hawaiian farmland on Oahu, going back 1000 years and supporting Oahu's largest Hawaiian population, where the bones of hundreds of thousands of native Hawaiian farmers and island warriors are buried, will soon be covered over by a Texas corporation forever because of City Bill 65.
