Project Malama Honokowai is focused on restoring the ancient home of a flourishing Hawaiian community over 500 years ago.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cHere\u2019s a challenge if you\u2019re an engineer,\u201d says Kupuna Ed Lindsey, director of Maui Cultural Lands Inc. (MCL) \u201cBuild something, shut it down for 500 years, open it up, and it\u2019ll still work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindsey knows this is possible; he\u2019s seen it happen, deep in lush Honokowai Valley. This area, on the West Side of Maui, was home to a flourishing ancient Hawaiian community over 500 years ago, but was overgrown and forgotten as western society moved in. The valley and the village within it are now being uncovered, only to reveal a sophisticatedly simple lifestyle of sustainability and living off the land.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Project<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

MCL, headed by Ed and Puanani Lindsey, is a grassroots organization made up of volunteers from all over the island whose aim is to \u201cstabilize, protect, and restore Hawaiian cultural resources.\u201d They officially began Project Malama Honokowai in 2000, when Ka\u2019anapali Development Corp. agreed that MCL could begin working on the land.<\/p>\n

Each Saturday, a small group of volunteers ventures into the valley to help clear away debris and undergrowth to uncover what\u2019s been left behind. The stunning results so far are the product of the sweat and labor of hundreds who\u2019ve visited and put work into this special place.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Volunteer<\/h4>

Every Saturday, a crew of volunteers goes to work and learn in Honokowai Valley. Photo: Ray Mangan<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Today, areas that used to be acres of overgrown bushes and weeds are host to native plants and sturdily built rock walls that have stood the test of time. An ancient heiau (place of worship) and what were once family living quarters can be seen now that loads of invasive plants and brush have been lifted away. Nothing has been moved or rebuilt, however; the rock walls that are still standing have held their shape for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cThe rock walls don\u2019t have to be straight,\u201d Ed says. \u201cIf there\u2019s a big boulder in the way, they\u00a0incorporate the big boulder as part of the wall. You follow the contour of the land.\u201d<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

And by following the land, the land will teach, something the ancient Hawaiians understood well. They used their surroundings and what existed in nature to create a fully functional and sustainable society.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a self-sufficient area,\u201d Ed says, pointing out plants used for medicine and sweet potato patches built for natural irrigation and sun exposure. \u201cFood, clothing, housing, transportation, medicines, dyes, water, tools\u2026 everything that humans need came from plants or stone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, medicines, dyes, water, tools\u2026 everything that humans need came from plants or stone.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

With Hawai\u2019i aiming at a future of sustainability, Honokowai Valley offers valuable lessons in living off the land. Kalo and potato patches that self-irrigate offer an interesting perspective on water conservation, and many native plants can be used for medicinal treatments for a variety of ailments often treated with western medicine. The concept of \u201cbiodynamic gardening,\u201d in which all the waste from plants and weeds goes back into the earth, helps the environment flourish and feed on its own natural fertilizers.<\/p>\n

Aside from getting their supplies from nature, Hawaiians relied on their observations of nature to learn about life. Living off the land provided a vast education on botany, astronomy, physics, and much more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout the use of the scientific method, the Hawaiians were able to name plants and their families with 98 percent accuracy, just by observation,\u201d says Ed. \u201c\u2026 As we get into the plastic society, we lose that which is natural. Hawaiian people had names for winds, rains and rainbows, and different parts of the ocean. It\u2019s far more complex than what we\u2026\u2019civilized people\u2019 have. Because they had to be connected with nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\""This<\/span>

Self-sustainability<\/h4>

\"This whole area is an example of self-sustainability, and this is where the future needs to go,\" says Ed Lindsey. Photo: Ray Mangan<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

It\u2019s enough [work] for five lifetimes. I\u2019m not going to be around for the final goal. All I\u2019m doing is pointing the ship in the direction that it needs to go, and this can serve as a model for people throughout the islands to do similar things.\u201d<\/p>\n

The restoration of Honokowai Valley and inspiring work done by MCL can serve not only as an example for the state, but also set a worldwide standard for preserving and protecting indigenous cultures and sites. In learning from what the ancient Hawaiians left on the land, \u201cwe\u2019re going back into the past so we can move ahead in the future,\u201d Ed says.<\/p>\n

The volunteers meet on Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. at the Pu\u2019ukoli\u2019i Sugar Cane Train station parking lot in Lahaina. For more information about Project Malama Honokowai, visit www.mauiculturallands.org.<\/p>\n
