Hawaii History Blog Profiles: Ho‘okuleana

Last month we announced the Hawaii History Blog Project here on our news blog. These history blogs are freely accessible to anyone around the world with online access. From time to time we will be featuring profiles of these blogs and those who provide content, all for your enjoyment and for the cause of increasing historical literacy.

The Hawaiian word Ho‘okuleana translates "to take responsibility." Peter T. Young of Kailua, Hawai`i is a lifetime resident, descendant of the Rev. Hiram Bingham, and whose career has included 30 years in the private sector, two years in county administration and four and a half years in state administrative roles, most notably as the head of the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR). 

Young is today associated with Ho‘okuleana LLC, "a planning and consulting firm assisting property owners with land use planning efforts, including environmental review, entitlement process, permitting, community outreach, etc." 

We first learned about Peter Young's interest in blogging local Hawaii history via his Facebook postings on various subjects. His blog, entitled Ho‘okuleana can be accessed here. 


Lastly, we share these words from his history blog site:
"We view it as our individual and collective responsibility to: Participate … rather than ignore; Prevent … rather than react and Preserve … rather than degrade. This is not really a program, it is an attitude we want people to share. The world is changing; let’s work together to change it for the better." 
We could not agree more! Thank you, Peter Young.
