Newsletter #1 Public Scoping

During this initial "scoping" phase, we would like to know what you want us to consider as we begin planning and setting priorities.

Topic Questions Instructions:
Please number your responses to match the corresponding questions listed below.

Topic Questions:
1. What is your vision of commemorating the WWII internment experience in Hawaii? What types of activities, and where? (for example, designation of a historic site, recognition of a location with a monument or plaque, educational programs, outreach to families and descendants, visitor center or displays, activities and special events)
2. Actions that the NPS may consider through this study could include:
• Accepting donation of the land at Honouliuli Gulch and managing the site as a national historic site or other unit of the national park system;
• Opportunities for the public to visit and learn about the internment experience at Kilauea Military Camp, which is already within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park;
• Technical assistance to public or private landowners who wish to commemorate the internment experiences that occurred on land they own.

What do you think of these ideas, and what others would you suggest?
3. What sites, locations, stories, and/or subjects do you think the National Park Service should consider in this Special Resource Study?
