SB 3152 - Defining "cultural impact" in the EIS process

      Status & Testimony
RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS.
Defines "cultural assessment" and "cultural impact assessment".  Requires cultural assessments to be available for public review and comment in connection with draft environmental assessments.  Requires a cultural impact assessment if an agency determines a proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment.


This bill aims to clarify terms in which the state will handle future situations concerning EIS processes.  

Yes, you're right.  Nobody trusts the state.  But we've got to make a change and we've got to start somewhere. 

To continue to smash our heads against the same wall while expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

Please click the word testimony and just state what you have to say on the site.  We are not going to tell you how to feel about it or where to stand.  We are telling you to use your voice and stop it with the generational trauma.  Our kids are depending on us to survive.

How are they supposed to work with foundations that are not built by us and for us?

  1. Mahalo Kekahi Coalition for all that you do to make testifying on matters that affect the Native Hawaiian people, the Native Hawaiian culture, our sustainability, and fight against evasive plant, insect, and wildlife available to us that are not too akamai about how to make our voices heard. Through your blog, I have been able to tell the people that are in charge how I feel about what they are doing. I encourage anyone that loves our beloved people, islands, agriculture (kalo, ulu, uala, etc.) and wildlife to take advantage of all you have made available to us here. Mahalo Nui a Ke Akua pu.
