#makapuu

As the new year’s first daylight reaches the islands, participants experience protocol and sound that reflect Hawaiʻi’s deep cultural roots. It reminds us that this landscape is not just scenery, it is a living place that carries kuleana, our collective responsibility to care for it.

Governor Josh Green, M.D., signed three bills into law at a signing ceremony at the Makapu‘u lookout in Waimānalo along with 14 bills signed earlier that seek to support the protection of Hawaiʻi’s beaches, shorelines and public lands. 

A concerned family member reported Ingalls missing on Sunday, telling police that he had failed to pick them up at the airport.

Hawai‘i’s version of the First Day Hike, held on New Year’s Day, is unique for a number of reasons. It’s among the best attended, with as many as 700 people making the one-mile hike to the Makapu‘u overlook at the Kaiwi State Scenic Shoreline on O‘ahu’s east side.
