Hui Hana Pa‘akai o Hanapēpē is a Native Hawaiian Organization made up of representatives from 22 ʻohana (families) that are cultural practitioners, kiaʻi (stewards) of this wahi pana (traditional place), cultural and lineal descendants of the subject property and adjacent to the area used by the Applicant. The Hui was formed in 1964 by the salt making ʻohana, whom are descendants of native Hawaiians who inhabited Hanapēpē Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi prior to 1778. For many generations we have been exercising our traditional and customary practices at Waimakaohiʻiaka, ʻUkulā, Hanapēpē, Kona, Kauaʻi, which is also listed as a historic site on the State Inventory of Historic Places. This gathering tradition began before the Mahele of 1848 and continues up to the present time.
