#Haleakalā

Community members across Maui are invited to gather on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, for Hanohano ʻO Haleakalā, a special community event created to provide space for education, dialogue, and testimony regarding the proposed AMOS STAR project on Haleakalā.

Hawaiʻi’s street names memorialize ancient stories, events and people significant to that area, as well as to traditional land division names. The kamaʻāina of each community know their area’s moʻolelo and natural weather patterns and are therefore the best ones to interpret the proper spelling and meaning of their community’s street names.

Military officials have given no indication they’re considering pulling back the project, and many residents felt like their voices were once again being ignored.

The military will be holding public meetings this week to gather input about the project that already has met with past opposition by some community groups, Maui Mayor Richard Bissen and the County Council.
