Mauna Kea history

Summary:

At the request of Stephanie Nagata, on behalf of the Office of Mauna Kea Management, Kumu Pono Associates, LLC conducted research, compiled a detailed collection of archival-historical records, and conducted oral history interviews with kupuna and elder kamaaina, pertaining to the ahupuaa (native land divisions) of Kaohe, Humuula, and neighboring aina mauna (mountain lands) of Mauna Kea, on the island of Hawaii. This work was undertaken as a part of on-going archival and oral historical research being conducted by Kumu Pono Associates LLC, since 1996, and builds upon detailed accounts published by Maly in 1997, 1999, 2002a & 2002b, and 2003. The study is multifaceted, and includes detailed verbatim accounts and descriptions of Mauna Kea, the larger Humuula-Kaohe lands, and aina mauna, covering the period of Hawaiian traditions to first-hand accounts of travel on the aina mauna and Mauna Kea, dating from the early 1820s to the 1970s. Many of the records reported herein, have not been previously known, or made available in their entirety. While future researchers will likely find more information, and be able to answer further questions about the traditions and history of Mauna Kea, the author has sought to ensure that through this collection, readers and parties with responsibility for Mauna Kea, will have a solid foundation of traditional and historical knowledge to speak and work from.
