Pacific Missile Range Facility honors lineal descendants of Na ‘Ohana Papa ‘O Mānā

Hawaiʻi farmers, value‑added producers, food manufacturers, entrepreneurs, supply‑chain partners and resource providers come together in Waikīkī for full day focused on local food product development and strengthening Hawaiʻi’s growing food innovation ecosystem.

Researchers compiled 242 documented deaths of the native Hawaiian short-eared owl and found trauma accounted for 62%; within those cases, two-thirds were linked to vehicle collisions or occurred in close proximity to roadways.

The ceremony focused on honoring the history of the land, paying respects to those who came before and reinforcing the vital partnership between U.S. Navy, Na ʻOhana Papa O Mānā and host cultural protocol.

Celebrations are planned throughout the islands, including several events on Kaua‘i, for the 250th anniversary of European colonists in 1776 declaring independence from Great Britain; however, for some Native Hawaiians, the day is more of a painful reminder of the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Mana Purdy was newly named executive director of Keahuolū and will be overseeing Native Hawaiian programming.

Two Kaua‘i Police Department officers were among the 15 people to receive recognition for going above and beyond in the fight against impaired driving.
