The rest of you are missing my point entirely.<br /><br />When I say "fale landscaping", if I hear one more time "we are going to replant with all indigenous plants", then I see a sketch of something that looks like it is a landscaping project from a hotel, I don't see that as real, I see it as fake, contrived and uneccessary in what is supposed to be a natural area. <br /><br />If there are unwanted pesky plants along the trail, then kalai them out. Nature does a fine job of its own putting plants where they belong. If something is invasive, remove it, so other plants can grow. It is entirely uneccessary to on purpose create a fake environment.<br /><br />Leave that to the hotel gardens,<br /><br />Also, those of you who thought the interpretive signs were such a great idea. DId you actually see them? Horrendous. There was a disgusted gasp when they were revealed.<br /><br />I would advocate pohaku and wood culturally appropriate signage that blended in with the natural environment and were only placed where absolutely necessary.<br /><br />But the sketches I say, of those "easil" thingies were ridiculous.<br />It made the path look like Disneyland.<br /><br />I want a path that is as natural and uncontrived as possible. It is my path too. We do not need a path for the tourists we need a path for us. If they want to walk or bike on it too thats fine,<br /><br />But stay off the iwi, stay away from the sacred areas, and respect the culture. I don't like to say the "host" culture anymore. I think the culture is tired of "hosting" people.Punohu's Politics,Environment and Culturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855749379420613725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-49791214237081704162009-12-17T14:08:55.426-10:002009-12-17T14:08:55.426-10:00Hahahah There is a solution to your dilemma.

It is like yelling "Hi AuUntie!", in a crowded room full of Kupuna. Everyone will turn their head and think you are talking to them!<br /><br />So, the most logical path for me to decipher them out and respond to the anonymous posts, is to quote them, so we know which anonymous posts we are referring to. If everyone used names it would be far more easier to just say "Fred said", or "Kimo" said, and then make a quote from their comment.
