Once names have been verified by the army personnel, continue through the gate to the parking lot just inside where you will leave your vehicle during the access. The gate will be closed during the access, so all vehicles in the parking lot will be secure. https://www.malamamakua.org/hoopili-a-me-hawi-wale-contact-and-donate daily 0.75 2019-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1536400830375-FI2QXUT05T9W3GMDOII5/Aunty+Leandra%CA%BBs+hand.jpg Contact & Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1560564268783-NJFNB013J1129BC06BRO/99+Makua+Beach+Cove+Sunset+Pano+00+Keiki+in+Cove.jpg Contact & Donate Sacred Mākua runs from the mountain to the sea.

fierce creatures that probably have more in common with a dragon than a lizard. This image ("Hiʻiaka and the Moʻo" by Linda Rowell Stevens) depicts two entities that are central to Mākua lore: Pele's sister, Hiʻiaka, and a moʻo. While Hiʻiaka did kill a moʻo earlier in her epic journey to fetch Pele's lover from Kauaʻi, going through Mākua on the way back to Hawaiʻi Island, she did not kill the moʻo of Mākua, who you can read about below. https://www.malamamakua.org/mkua-in-moolelo daily 0.75 2019-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1534207853171-I2LAXABTAF0VGP58ZG0G/Aunty+Leandra%CA%BBs+hand.jpg Mākua in Moʻolelo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1534223105571-AZRMK8LTIMH7BDE47LU0/hiiaka.jpg Mākua in Moʻolelo "A Pantheon of Volcano Spirits" Herb Kāne - Artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1534221219952-Z6GBMMA7A6QUUO3G9TP3/Wailupe-Maile-Lau-ili-ili-Sml.jpg Mākua in Moʻolelo Maile that is similar to the Mailelauliʻi once found in Koʻiahi. hawaiianforest.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1534221049029-NYI88AST6Z6S9CDH1E16/kaneana+dark+inside.jpg Mākua in Moʻolelo hawaiirealnaturetours.com https://www.malamamakua.org/hui-celebrates-makua-valleys-lack-of-no-live-fire daily 0.75 2021-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1537131972924-B793K0QRJZSWPUM8JL05/Aunty+Leandra%CA%BBs+hand.jpg Mākua in Print/Web https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1562046236219-PLGKR7ZDQ1WINZRTCMI6/KRYSTLE+MARCELLUS+%3A+KMARCELLUS%40STARADVERTISER.COM+Kilinahe+Keliinoi%2C+16%2C+blew+a+pu%2C+or+conch+shell%2C+Saturday+to+begin+Malama+Makua%E2%80%99s+march+celebrating+10+years+without+military+live-fire+training+in+Makua+Valley..jpg Mākua in Print/Web KRYSTLE MARCELLUS / KMARCELLUS@STARADVERTISER.COM Kilinahe Keliinoi, 16, blew a pu, or conch shell, Saturday to begin Malama Makua’s march celebrating 10 years without military live-fire training in Makua Valley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1562046959961-HDOLKX67NX2J0O5AMUSG/KRYSTLE+MARCELLUS+%3A+KMARCELLUS%40STARADVERTISER.COM+Malama+Makua+member+Vince+Dodge+emphasized+the+importance+of+connecting+to+the+land+Saturday+before+a+march+to+Makua+Valley.+%E2%80%9CWhen+you+come+into+this+valley+and+touch+it%2C+she+will+touch+you%2C%E2%80%9D+he+said..jpg Mākua in Print/Web KRYSTLE MARCELLUS / KMARCELLUS@STARADVERTISER.COM Malama Makua member Vince Dodge emphasized the importance of connecting to the land Saturday before a march to Makua Valley. “When you come into this valley and touch it, she will touch you,” he said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1608654984048-NROPRBB76JJR8NR0ZP0S/Islands_of_Empire_Pop_Culture_and_U.S._Power_----_%28Intro%29.jpg Mākua in Print/Web https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1609611091577-QL59BAUYKXQAXNEOPST4/army.mil-82506-2010-08-06-210844.jpg Mākua in Print/Web An unexpected wildfire started at Makua Military Reservation, July 24, burning 486 acres and impacting three endangered plant species.

Quick facts about the U.S. military in Hawaiʻi as found on the filmʻs website, nohohewa.com: - Hawaiʻi is one of the most militarized groups of islands in the world. - The military controls over 20 percent of all land in the Hawaiian Island chain. - The military population makes up over 11 percent of the state of Hawai’i, as opposed to less than one percent of the U.S. population. - The U.S. Army secretly tested chemical, biological, and deadly nerve gas agents in Hawai’i watershed/forest reserve areas, facts repeatedly denied but later confirmed. - Currently 7.1 million live rounds of various weapons are fired annually on sacred Hawaiian lands at the Pōhakuloa Training Area (PTA) on the Big Island of Hawai’i. - More than 400 square miles (250,000 acres) on Hawai’i Island may contain live arms and other military toxins and should be considered military hazard areas. - In 1995, there were 405 toxic sites in 122 military facilities statewide.

most often translated into English as “island.” But – as significantly – the term also refers to other types of space that are regarded as insular by the communities that inhabit them. While many of the spaces referred to as shima in Japanese usage are islands, defined by their encircling waters, others manifest different types of insularity and/or imagination of space. Shima addresses social, cultural, environmental and conceptual aspects of various types of island, peninsular and otherwise insular coastal and shoreline communities, their relationship to the oceanic, estuarine, deltaic, riverine and/or lacustrine environments that substantially define them and the manner in which various types of engineered waterways and bodies of water constitute cultural landscapes in terrestrial locations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1608656512239-OYGEN9H2HLCOQE3Y2PPC/environmental-practice.jpg Mākua in Academia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1562788549501-YVR9I9A2V3CPB9GN6PU9/NOHOHEWA-DVD-Cover-With-Awards.jpg Mākua in Academia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1609206062149-YV4K7JK5F00WRDKVI0I0/environmental-practice.jpg Mākua in Academia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/1609458257581-1UGRSANR7TEF3N2HP1EM/Political+Geography.jpg Mākua in Academia https://www.malamamakua.org/n-oli-mkua daily 0.75 2021-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/5ccd3495-0d14-4f80-a374-3f057236ce13/I+Ku+Mau+Mau.jpg Nā oli Mākua - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.malamamakua.org/new-page-3 daily 0.75 2025-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/656ca1fd-2177-48df-8ed0-02791c36cd78/IMG_4186.JPG Current Community Projects Kaniakapūpū - one of the sites that we proudly mālama https://www.malamamakua.org/kiai-and-advisory daily 0.75 2025-10-02 https://www.malamamakua.org/board-members daily 0.75 2025-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b084e78ee1759c1c50968e5/fc3ba1b5-c5bf-418b-9560-6f149a3896a9/Screenshot+2025-10-01+at+8.46.48%E2%80%AFAM.png Board Members - Lynette Cruz - President Lynette Cruz is a Waiʻanae resident and long time Hawaiian Sovereignty and social justice advocate.
