520 _aHome for centuries to a thriving Hawaiian populace, the island of Kaho'olawe has been out of public view for nearly 150 years. This book celebrates the island itself, its ancient past, and the unprecedented victory won in 1994, when the federal government finally bowed to decades of protest and returned control of the island to the Hawaiian people. The text and photographs introduce not only the physical beauty of the eleven mile long island, but also its chants and stories, its native wildlife, the tragedies of it s recent history and the important partt that it plays today in the movement to revive Hawaiian traditions. For many years, supporters have worked to heal this island, which was used as a military test site for many years.
