- Mission [1]
- No meetings were held this fiscal year.The law creating Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park mandated the National Park
Service to provide a center for the preservation, interpretation, and perpetuation of traditional native Hawaiian activities
and culture and to demonstrate historic land use patterns as well as to provide a needed resource for education, enjoyment,
and appreciation of such traditional native Hawaiian activities and culture by local residents and visitors. The purpose of
the park is to provide a place where native Hawaiians can practice historic and cultural traditions; provide educational programs
which instill an appreciation of traditional native Hawaiian activities and land use patterns; emphasize the land-sea ethic,
a dominant force in Hawaiian attitudes and feelings and demonstrated in traditional land use patterns; protect and interpret
archeological features and their cultural significance; protect marine resources and habitat for threatened sea turtle and
other marine species; and protect fishponds and habitat for endangered native Hawaiian water birds. The mission and strategic
plan of the National Park Service at Kaloko-Honokohau is rooted in and grows from P.L. 95-625. The Commission is essential
to this mission in advising the National Park Service with regard to the historical, archeological, cultural, and interpretive
programs of the park.
