A conversation about ʻāina and activism with Lynette Cruz and Sparky Rodrigues, board members of Mālama Mākua.
Mālama Mākua is a Kanaka Maoli-led non-profit organization dedicated to bringing about the return of sacred Mākua Valley for culturally appropriate use. They preserve and protect this wahi pana on Oʻahuʻs west side through continuous community access and engagement, establishing constant presence and practice in a place that has been occupied by the U.S. army since World War II. The non-profit organization hosts free cultural accesses to ancient and culturally-vital sites in sacred Mākua twice each month, and address the cultural, social, and legal issues associated with the use of Mākua Valley, especially the environmental and cultural impact to the land and sea and to Native Hawaiians and other people.
