After more than 50 years of use as a bombing target by the US military, the island of Kaho’olawe finally began the process of reverting to the State in 1994, when the US Navy signed a memorandum of understanding on the island’s cleanup, restoration, access, and transfer of control. Sol Kaho’ohalahala, director of the Kaho’olawe Island Reserve Commission, shares insights on the island’s history and its importance to Hawaiians as a place of aloha aina.
