There are many sides, with many intentions. I think the best way for all sides to understand each other is to have dialogue and empathy.

They find the site was inhabited more-or-less continuously during that period up until the early 1860's, but, "...does not represent a site of early colonization of the archipelago." This came as a surprise to many, although Y. Sinoto is an author on the work as well. He was among the first to do careful excavation of the site going back to 1959. Of course it is a very special place, preserving a remarkable history and deserves all the respect, care and love of all wild places.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539017900790289244.post-81135079709746251062018-09-22T22:59:23.838-07:002018-09-22T22:59:23.838-07:00Anonymous, I respectfully disagree with your comme...<br />Anonymous, I respectfully disagree with your comment. This beautiful place exists for anyone willing to make the trek. There are not many people willing to go down there because it is very hard to access. Therefore, most people such as myself that do go appreciate, admire, and respect the beauty. There is plenty of trash down there, left by fishermen..... I will remove the name, fair compromise?? People deserve to be educated about such places, then maybe they would respect more. Throwing out the word "KAPU" is not a valid reason and is religious in nature, which I disagree with. All wild places and the whole island really, is a special place.

Sacred (1st ancient Hawaiian landing site, water source, and oldest carbon-dated Hawaiian artifacts, Goddess Pele sparing the village in 1868) secrets (you want to go when you are 60 and see footprints and trash everywhere like any other place here?) should remain secret to preserve the perfect state of the place and out of respect for the hundreds of thousands of ancient Kanaka Maoli souls resting there. Wait for humanity to catch up. Keep aquarium collectors and the unconscious in the less sacred and not perfectly preserved places. Nowhere else in Hawaii is left that is this pristine. NOWHERE. Your pix are THE ONLY pix of this place on the internet. PLEASE, i beg of you, REMOVE.

I have heard of a surfers access with a rope dropping off the pali as you describe (so one doesn't have to go by sea from South Point) but where to access that? Any beta you can provide would be appreciated. Many thanks from Seattle.john doehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011920909007545929noreply@blogger.com
