About Us Established in 2011, the Kalaeloa Heritage and Legacy Foundation (KHLF) is a 501(c)3 community-based organization dedicated to preserving and protecting Native Hawaiian cultural and historical sites of Kalaeloa through the operation and maintenance of the Kalaeloa Heritage Park. Our Vision As Kalaeloa is the wahi hoʻokela, the Kalaeloa Heritage Park is the piko and wahi pana of Kalaeloa, where nā ʻoiwi mau loa – our ancestors and us – shall live forever. Our Mission Through partnership, planning, advocacy, and stewardship the kupaʻaina of Honouliuli accept the kuleana to preserve and protect our kupuna, historical sites, and moʻolelo of Kalaeloa. We are committed to ensuring that cultural traditions and practices of nā ʻoiwi ʻo Kalaeloa are perpetuated. Our Governance The Board of Directors of the KHLF – which is comprised wholly of ‘Ewa Moku community leaders serving as unpaid volunteer board members – provides governance for the Kalaeloa Heritage Park. The KHLF Board has nine (9) seats although only seven (7) are filled as of December 2019. The KHLF is actively seeking qualified applicants to fill the open seats. The date next to the board member’s name indicates the year that member joined the Board. The second date – if present – indicates the year that member attained their current position on the Board.

Our Experts Cultural practitioners, scientists, archaeological professionals, and scholars & researchers provide insight, interpretation, and understanding of the cultural, historical, and natural landscape of the Park. Dr. Koebele and Dr. Christy Mello of the University of Hawai`i West O`ahu (UHWO), the staff of International Archaeological Research Institute, Inc., and our own Shad Kane are included in this list. Our Volunteers A handful of core volunteers oversee the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the Kalaeloa Heritage Park. Because of the fragility of the cultural relics, all work is done mostly by hand or with hand tools. Docents provide site tours to Park visitors on a voluntary basis. The KHLF deeply appreciates the work of our regular volunteers and docents who performed – in conjunction with students, various partners, service organizations, and visitors – 1,823 volunteer service hours in 2019. An approximate value of $48,984.011 was realized for these volunteer hours.

2019 Highlights

• The Park experienced approximately 1,025 visitors in 2019. Park visitation numbers dipped 14% when compared to 2018 (1,187). This is potentially due to the numerous adverse weather events experienced in 2019. 54% of the visitors to the Park were from educational partners such as the Kamehameha Schools, UH West O`ahu, LCC, UH Mānoa, IPA, the Mālama Learning Center, the `Ula A`e Learning Center, College Ahuntsic, DOE Kupuna Program, etc.

The remaining 46% of the visitors were from community partners, cultural groups, medical and health industry, senior citizens, veterans and military groups, hospitality industry, as well as local residents and visitors.

• The Leeward Community College (LCC) and UHWO Botany departments, as part of their Service Learning programs, continue to assist KHLF volunteer staff with the reforestation of native plants – such as the ʻāhinahina o ʻEwa, ʻaweoweo, naio, ʻulu, ʻaʻaliʻi, maiapilo, and wiliwili – year-round at the Park.

• On the last Saturday of every month the Park engaged with the community by providing a workday opportunity for interested groups, individuals, and community members. In 2019 there were 11 monthly community workdays (there was no workday in December due to the holidays).

2019 Activities January

• KHLF participated in a problem-based learning project at James Campbell High School (JCHS) called JCHSHack. This project presents Computer Science students with problems from community participants/stakeholders and the students choose which problem they would address through the development of an Application. Although the KHLF was not selected, this was still a rewarding experience for the organization as were able to extend our commitment to area schools.

www.khlfoundation.org 7

• KHLF participated in the Honouliuli Education Fair held at Island Pacific Academy (IPA) in Kapolei. The fair – which was hosted by the Kamehameha Schools, Kapolei Community Development Corporation, and IPA – exposed IPA students and families to educational and cultural programs available in the Honouliuli area. Hands-on workshops, place-based stories, and Hawaiian language, were some of the activities presented. The KHLF presented information about the various programs available at the Heritage Park.

• KHLF participated in the Kua`ana Kokua Spring 2019 program by making the Park available as a Mālama Kaiaulu/Kuleana site for Native Hawaiian Kua`ana tuition waiver students to perform service work opportunities. The KHLF has been a partner with the Kua`ana Native Hawaiian Student Development Service for several years and is proud to continue supporting this resource.

• At the January Hawai`i Community Development Authority (HCDA) Board meeting, two agenda items caught the eye of the media:

1. “Shall the Authority take action according to section 1.3 of General Lease 15-05, and accept surrender or pursue termination of the Kalaeloa Heritage and Legacy Foundation’s lease?”

2. “Shall the Authority authorize the Executive Director to enter into a Stewardship Agreement with the Kalaeloa Heritage and Legacy Foundation for a portion of TMK(1)9-1-013:067 and 069?”

Several media outlets requested comment by the KHLF when HCDA issued a Second Notice of Breach of Lease 15-05. The KHLF shared that it had been working to address the issue of the stockpile on Park grounds for several years and that various attempts throughout 2018 to address the stockpile were unsuccessful. The resulting media contacts resulted in several high-profile news stories:

Sources of Income

Figure 8 - 2019 Sources of Income

• Contributions dropped 83% over 2018 ($6,185.00) due to the KHLF decision not to pursue any grants in 2019 because of the uncertainty related to the land lease with HCDA.

• Donations soared 488% over 2018 ($2,015.00) with the largest donations received from the James C. Shingle Family Fund ($5,000.00), the Sorenson Family Fund ($5,000.00), Mrs. Linda Victor ($1,500.00), and the PVT Land Company Ltd ($1,000.00). Numerous smaller donations

In 2019 the Park hosted 1,025 visitors compared to 1,187 in 2018, a decrease of 14%. The increase in income from Park fees is attributed to the new rate structure implemented in 2019, which set entrance fees at $10.00 for adults and $3.00 for school age children (K-12).

• Sales fell 81% over 2018 ($1,842.00) as the amount of kiawe wood available for sale decreased due to cut backs in expansion and wetter weather in 2019.

Plans for 2020 In Q1 2020 the KHLF will be working to update its strategic plan and milestones for the Heritage Park. Areas of focus include:

• Executing the MOU/Affiliation Agreement with UHWO Administration and implementing the archaeology partnership with Dr. Mello and the School of Anthropology,

• Executing the long-term Steward Agreement with HCDA,

• Growing the number of regular and monthly community volunteers,

• Securing the Park after-hours by adding security cameras with night vision, and

• Employing electronic point-of-sale systems to collect Park Fees
