11 PROTECTION OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES

The summit region of Maunakea is considered a traditional cultural property. Maunakea is a central element of Native Hawaiian creation stories. Please be respectful when visiting. Leave the mountain as you found it, stay on designated areas for visitors, and, take any rubbish with you when you depart.

Historic Properties are defined as any building, structure, object, district, area, or site that is significant in the history, architecture, archaeology, or culture of the State, its communities, or the nation. Historic Properties on Maunakea include traditional cultural properties, trail systems, Archaeological sites, and Buildings. For more information on Historic Properties, visit the Cultural Resources Management Plan.

SF Project No: 1683701 Page 9 of 46

Traditional cultural properties are defined as having an association with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that are a) rooted in that communities history, and b) are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community.

Maunakea - though simply translated as "White Mountain" since at least 1823, the name, Maunakea is also known in native traditions and prayers as Mauna a Wākea (Kea), "The Mountain of Wākea." It is the first-born mountain son of Wākea and Papa, who were also progenitors of the Hawaiian race. Maunakea is symbolic of the piko (umbilical cord) of the island-child, Hawi'i, and that which connects the land to the heavens.

Although traditional accounts of trails upon Maunakea do not provide precise route information, they do suggest the presence of ancient trails through the summit region. A mo‘olelo associated with chief Pili-a- Ka‘aiaea, and thus dating from the 1300s, recounts the journey of two brothers, Ka-Miki and Maka-iole, who traveled around the island using ancient ala hele (trails). Sent up to the Maunakea summit, Ka-Miki was guided by the following traveling mele:

The path goes to the uplands The path goes to the lowlands It is a lonely path to the mountain A damp dreary path A fire will be the wrap Warming you along the sacred trail…

Maly and Maly (2005:454) contend that ancient trail systems across all the mountain lands afforded travel to burial sites and facilitated travel for the collection of resources like adze stone, canoe koa, and bird feathers. Many historical trails are no longer visible or in use, so please be respectful and stay on current trails only.

15 CONDITIONS AFFECTING CONTRACTOR’S WORK

15.1 SI will occupy site and existing building during entire construction period. Cooperate with SI during construction operations to minimize conflicts and facilitate SI usage. Perform the Work so as not to interfere with SI's operations.

15.2 The Maunakea Invasive Species Management Plan addresses the 2009 Mauna Kea Comprehensive Management Plan action item NR-2: development of an invasive species prevention and control program. It was approved by the Maunakea Management Board on, and the policies are effective as of, February 10, 2015. The approved plan and associated Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are below.

These documents identify personal gear, vehicle, and delivery cleaning requirements; inspection requirements (both vehicle operator-inspections and when DLNR requires an approved biologist);

and penalties for non-compliance. Recommendations for maintaining areas outside of University managed lands and preparing for trips or deliveries of goods and materials are also included.

Requests for inspection or questions regarding the plan should be directed to: inspections-grp@hawaii.edu or 808-933-0734. An online, web-based system for requesting and scheduling inspections is in preparation and will be available at www.omkm.org/inspections. The plan and procedures are a form of adaptive management and will be revised as needed.

15.2.1 Aʻole Ants! (No Ants!) Help us keep Maunakea free of ants. Maunakea is one of the few places in the State where invasive ants are not found.

SF Project No: 1683701 Page 11 of 46

All ants in Hawai`i are introduced. Ants are often destructive, competitive predators that can survive at high elevations. The Argentine Ant (Linepithema humile) for example, can survive at high elevations and is established at Pu’uhuluhulu and Maunakea County Park (popular nearby stopping points for visitors coming up to Maunakea).

There have been many studies showing the impacts of ants on Hawaiian ecosystems.

Not only do they compete with native Hawaiian animals, they can also eliminate Hawaiian plants that rely on those native animals for pollination, reproduction, and survival.

Ants are spread primarily by humans: with plant materials, vehicles, supplies, food, etc.

Please help us protect the Hawaiian plants, birds, and arthropods on Maunakea by checking vehicles and supplies for ants before coming up. If you see an ant while on the mountain, tell a Maunakea Ranger immediately. Mahalo nui!
