Ka‘ū News Briefs Friday, March 9, 2018

At Ka Lae, shoreline fishers can catch fish like mahimahi using "trash bag" or "kite fishing" methods. See description below. Photo from pifsc.noaa.gov

SOUTH POINTS' ABUNDANT MARINE RESOURCES are discussed in the recently released South Point Resources Management Plan by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. In ancient Hawaiian days, fishing supported village life at South Point - Ka Lae was "one of the earliest settled areas in the Hawaiian Islands," the plan points out. 
     However, management of South Point and preserving its fishing grounds and the surrounding lands becomes a challenge for Hawaiian Home Lands as travel to South Point and Green Sands Beach becomes more popular with visitors and locals coming from more developed Hawaiian shorelines.
     According to the report, available to read online, archaeological surveys - some generations old - uncovered signs of extensive and long-time habitation along the coast, with much evidence of a heavy reliance on fishing. One estimate, recorded in the South Point Plan, says Ka‘ū may have been settled as early as the fourth or fifth century AD.

ʻUlua is a popular catch at South Point,
 particularly during the annual S. Tokunaga
 ʻUlua Challenge

     Today, with occupied fishing villages gone, locals and visitors still catch reef and ocean fish, lobster, and crab at Ka Lae, using a variety of methods; from fishing with poles from the cliffs, to throwing net, setting net, and spearfishing.     Fishermen free dive and SCUBA dive. Their boats leave the South Point ramp for deep sea fishing for ahi, mahimahi and marlin, and to visit favorite dive spots. Some people launch canoes, with small sailing canoes fast enough to troll for big fish.
     Fishermen arrive from around the island and beyond, set up camp, and secure their heavy fishing poles to the South Point cliffs to shorecast for ʻulua - giant travally. On June 7-10, many fishermen will enter S. Tokunaga Store's annual ʻUlua Challenge, choosing South Point as their favorite fishing spot.

   Line fishing from the South Point cliffs can involve kite fishing and sending tiny sailing rafts out to sea, trailing hook and bait. Some sails are as simple as garbage bags that catch the wind and carry the raft offshore. When the fish bites, the fisherman uses a rope to pull in the raft and lift the catch from the ocean.
     The hoist and ladder at the end of South Point Road aid in hauling fish up the steep cliffs.
     Fishing goes on day and night at South Point, presenting a management challenge for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands in its quest to preserve South Points' natural and cultural resources, as well as the continuing fishing tradition.
     The report points out that in ancient times, much fishing was by canoe, with mooring holes carved in rocks to tie the canoes to the cliffs and shore. At beaches, fishermen hauled canoes onto the sand.
     Fishing villages were settled around South Point, according to their access to the ocean and their protection from the winds. Their remains include house platforms, walls and fishing shrines, ancient carved fishing hooks and stone weights, as documented in the South Point Plan.
     According to evidence left in ancient and historic settlement sites, the eastern portion of South Point supported more habitation structures, near protected coves and bays like Kaulana, where the boat ramp is now located, the report states.

     The late Tommy Kaniho, who lived and ranched on Department of Hawaiian Home Lands just inland from South Point, told interviewers working on the South Point Plan that Kaulana Bay was a traditional place for camping and fishing, as Kamilo Bay is now. He also mentioned that there was a wharf near the lighthouse. "From Kaulana to Ka‘alualu, people would surround net, lobster net, lay net at night and check the next day, and even turtle net." Kaniho said that fishermen used to feed ko‘a to kū‘ula - the fishing god - "when they'd go throw-net. Today, people mostly fish off boats, catching marlin and tuna off the coast which is very deep water," said Kaniho. He noted that commercial fishermen at South Point usually sell their catch in Hilo.
     Kaniho said it used to be easier for locals to drive along the shores of South Point and fish "but people started abusing the road." He described the road as "really bad especially when it rains."
     Fishing villages were also located on the west side of South Point. The DHHL report mentions Kaʻalo, at the mouth of Kahawai Kolono Stream, as known for its good fishing.

     Kurt Dela Cruz told interviewers for the report that, "Some people love South Point for fishing and nothing else." Dela Cruz, who grew up in Ka‘ū, mentioned throw-net fishing at Pinao Bay; line fishing along the cliff areas by the hoist; and diving along an area called Broken Road.

     The report points to Kalalea Heiau, as a well-preserved fishing shrine, still revered by fishermen today. The report also mentions a set of 80 mooring holes for canoes.

     Fishing plays an important role in stories of Hawaiian chiefs who lost their lives in Ka‘ū. Historian David Malo (1793–1853), Mary Kawena Pukui and Laura C. S. Green, wrote of abusive ali‘i Hala‘ea and Koihala, who reportedly stole from fishermen, forced them to sail during poor weather, and starved them while wasting fish.

     From Malo, in the 1951 edition of Hawaiian Antiquities (Moolelo Hawaii): "The work with which (Koihala) made the people of Ka‘ū sweat and groan was the building of the heavy stone walls about several fishponds, of which are mentioned those at the coast of Hilea, at Honuapo and Ninole. He also robbed the fishermen of their fish. The story is that he compelled his canoe men to paddle him about here and there where the fleets of fishing canoes were. The wind was bleak and his men suffered from the wet and cold, he being snugly housed in the pola (platform or high seat between the canoes of a double canoe).
     "One day he had his men take his canoe out towards the south cape where there was a fleet of fishing canoes. His own canoe, being filled with the spoils of his robbery, began to sink; and he called out for help. The fishermen declined all assistance; his own men left him and swam to the canoes of the fishers, leaving him entirely in the lurch. He was drowned."

NATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY, HONORING WOMEN LIKE HAWAI'I CONGRESSWOMAN PATSY MINK, is this week's call to action from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard

     "Women make up half of the world's population, but in 2018, we are still working to guarantee basic fairness and equality. Days like today give us pause to remember those brave women who came before us," states Gabbard. "blazing trails and breaking down barriers for generations to come. We also honor the courageous women of today, who are standing up and fighting for justice, equality, peace, and humanity all across this country and around the world. There has been progress, but it has been slow. There is still much to be done."

     "There are so many ways for each of us to take action in our own way, in our own lives, in our own communities to make positive change." She states that Congress is working to ensure equal pay for equal work, fighting against discrimination in the workplace, ensuring equal access to housing, paid family leave, quality care for veterans, Medicare for All, and more.

     "But in order to really bring about the kind of change we wish to see, we must each do our part to change the culture of our society to one where all people, regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation, are treated equally with respect, kindness, and aloha. And that begins with how we treat one another," she urges.

     Gabbard closes her message with: "On this International Women's Day, let us honor those who came before us, be inspired by their example, and take on the challenges that are before us with strong hearts full of aloha."

     Peek encourages participants to "discover the magic power of writing to stimulate the creative regions of your mind and unearth your meatiest memories, highest aspirations, zaniest ideas, and most incandescent insights."
     "Have you ever wondered how the place you come from influenced who you are? Or what memories you carry from your ancestors? Or how your personal history impacts your view of the world? Take a day out of your busy life to explore your deeper self and ponder the life you've lived so far," says the event description.
     Workshop cost is $65 per VAC members and $75 for non-members. To register, call 967-8222 or visit volcanoartcenter.org. Students are asked to bring a lunch and some pictures of their parents—at least one of each parent (unless coming from a single-parent family, in which case bring some pictures that parent).
     Peek's workshop includes "fun, offbeat, and provocative 'wild mind' exercises that provide participants with exploration tools to use in class and on one's own. This workshop is perfect for journal keepers, bloggers, autobiographers, spiritual seekers, memoir and family history writers, and anyone who simply enjoys writing," says the event description. No previous writing experience is necessary.
     Thought-provoking exercises include topics such as: "What passions guide your life?", "What mottos do you live by–or wish you did?", and "What's the weirdest thing that ever happened to you?"
     Peek has taught his popular Hawai‘i workshops since 1991, encouraging hundreds of islanders to write their own journals, blogs, family histories, stories, poems, novels, and essays.
