§396d Establishment

Summary

Creates the Kaloko-Honoko̅hau National Historical Park in Hawaii of about 1,300 acres, shown on the map titled “Kaloko-Honoko̅hau National Historical Park,” number KHN–80,000, dated May 1978. The park boundary is changed to add Parcels 1 and 2 totaling 2.14 acres, shown on the map “Kaloko-Honoko̅hau National Historical Park Proposed Boundary Adjustment,” PWR (PISO) 466/82,043, dated April 2002. Those maps must be kept on file and available for the public to see. The Secretary may buy, swap for, or accept donations of land for the park, but State-owned lands can only be taken by donation. The park must be run under the usual national park laws, including the Acts of August 25, 1916, and August 21, 1935, and generally follow the 1974 study report about the area. The Secretary may provide traditional native Hawaiian facilities, work with the State on submerged lands and follow State marine rules, and allow fishing, shoreline food gathering, and boat access when those uses do not conflict with park purposes. The Secretary should use the Ahupua’a idea for managing land and water when possible and may hire native Hawaiians (defined as lineal descendants living in the islands before 1778). The law creates a nine-member advisory group called Na Hoa Pili O Kaloko-Honoko̅hau, with at least five members nominated by native Hawaiian organizations and at least six who are native Hawaiians; all must live in Hawaii. Members serve five-year terms with initial staggered terms of two members for five years, two for four years, two for three years, two for two years, and one for one year; no one may serve more than one term in a row. The Secretary picks the chair, vacancies are filled for the rest of the term, members are unpaid but can have expenses paid, four government officials serve as nonvoting members, the group advises the Park Service and must meet at least twice a year, and it ends on December 31, 2018. Up to $25,000,000 is authorized for land purchase and $1,000,000 for development.
