Iosepa at Hukilau May 7th 2008

These pictures were taken on May 6, 2008 on the BYUH campus where Iosepa was "temporarily" housed. At the end of June the plans are to place Iosepa in a permanent Halau Wa'a at PCC. We all hope that Iosepa will be accessible to those who need to malama Iosepa. We also hope the spirituality and reverence Iosepa carries will continue. We hope those in authority will do all they can and more to ensure this.

Iosepa will be at Hukilau beach in the morning being prepared to enter the water for the first time since 2005. All those who can come and help, please come by. Apparently there will be sailing around O'ahu, then to Kawaihae and back to O'ahu with possible stops at Kalaupapa.

Iosepa will then have old crew members and community members sail on-board to build up a experienced crew.

Aloha
