The Spirit of Ka Loko Hono Kō Hau - Authentic Hawaiian Cultural Gift for Home Decor & Spiritual Wellness | Perfect for Meditation Spaces, Yoga Studios & Island-Themed Interiors

In 1978, the Department of the Interior called the impassioned writers of THE SPIRIT REPORT and said that they would ask Congress to establish a national park at Kaloko-Honokōhau, and have it managed generally in accordance with that “SPIRIT” report, submitted four years previously for consideration. The commissioners could only state, "We were simply overwhelmed...Our “SPIRIT” report, which we had labored so long to produce, came from the guts of our cultural consciousness, and represented our best shot to secure federal acknowledgement and resources to restore our rapidly diminishing culture…"

In 2014, on the 40th anniversary of the writing of this pivotal and passionate document, HPPA revised and reprinted "SPRIT" for a new generation of readers.  Find vintage photos and maps among the 86 pages that lay out the need for protection for one of the last, best, Hawaiian sites left undeveloped along Kona's fabled coast.
