The Hakalau Kuleana is a term used for this website to cover the area from the Kolekole River in Wailea (at about the 14 Mile Marker of Highway 19) to the Poupou Stream in Ninole (at the 20 Mile Marker). This area, up to the tree line, was the former Hakalau Plantation.

We frequently receive new information and new sources of information. These sources include current residents, individuals that used to live here and their descendants, newspaper and journal articles, libraries and museums. We also review our existing materials repeatedly. The result: our understanding of the history of the Hakalau Kuleana changes over time. Periodically we need to reorganize pages to accommodate new materials or make navigation easier for the user. As we learn more, we add more, we reorganize more....and on and on. We keep building. We will continue to publish updates, sometimes showing pages that are under construction. Do you have information to share?

For the Hakalau Kuleana, our responsibility is to care for the land, the people, and the culture. We are guided by cultural values of YESTERDAY: Engage in collective effort. Look out for each other. Honor hard work. Show respect for those who came before us. Aloha and Mālama `Aina. In 2021, Akiko Masuda added two more values to the list: Consistently show up. Whatever has to be done, jump in and do it!
