The Mōkapu Peninsula on Oʻahu’s windward side has been inhabited since the 13th century. Originally valued by Hawaiian royalty, this land has been the spot for vacation homes for aliʻi as well as a productive agricultural area. The presence of the United States military has been seen since 1918. In this episode of Aloha Authentic, host Kamaka Pili sits down with the Commanding Officer of Marine Corps Base Hawaiʻi Col. Jeremy Beaven and Senior Cultural Resources Manager June Cleghorn, to learn about the peninsula’s role in Old Hawaiʻi and the efforts the Military is doing to be good stewards of the ʻaina.
