Kaho`olawe: journey toward sovereignty


The Star-Bulletin in the first of a two-part story on the cleanup of Kaho`olawe and the transfer of control over it's access from the Navy to the state of Hawaii on Tuesday. Because of scheduling conflicts with Veterans Day, the official ceremony will occur at noon Wednesday on the grounds of Iolani Palace.

"The former military target island that has become a symbol of native Hawaiian activism and cultural rebirth will move into a new phase this week in its journey toward sovereignty."

"The Protect Kahoolawe Ohana, the native Hawaiian group that conducted protest occupations of the island in 1976, said that while a great deal of work has been done, they are disappointed with the results."

"Under a 1993 state law, the island has been designated as a cultural preserve and is to eventually be turned over to a native Hawaiian sovereign entity recognized by the state and federal governments."
