RECOGNIZING THE THIRTY-DAY PERIOD FROM THE LAST SATURDAY IN SEPTEMBER TO THE LAST SUNDAY IN OCTOBER AS MALAMA PUULOA MONTH.
WHEREAS, based on radiocarbon dating, also known as Carbon-14 dating, the oldest settlement on Oahu is in present-day West Loch area; and
WHEREAS, the Nanaulu family, one of the first settlers in Hawaii from Tahiti, settled in an area originally known as Keawalauopuuloa, or "the many harbors of Puuloa," in 400 A.D.; and
WHEREAS, many areas in Puuloa in the greater Ewa region are important sites in Hawaiian history; and
WHEREAS, Puuloa in Ewa was the only moku in which all rivers in the twelve ahupuaa flowed to one place; and
WHEREAS, Ewa was the center of government during ancient times and was the location of ancient political capitals, including Lihue, Waikele, Lepau, and Puuloa; and
WHEREAS, many important historical figures were from Ewa and Puuloa, such as Kalaniopuu, who was the grandfather of Kamehemeha, and Kalaimanuia, who served as the second female moi chiefess of the island of Oahu; and
WHEREAS, current residents in Ewa are planning service activities and community gatherings, including events in Kapapapuhi Point Park, with the purpose of restoring Puuloa back to its original state; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-ninth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2018, the Senate concurring, that this body recognizes the thirty-day period from the last Saturday in September to the last Sunday in October as "Malama Puuloa Month" and celebrates one of the first settlement sites on Oahu; and
