HI SR106

Urges the Board of Land and Natural Resources to rename Russian Fort Elisabeth State Historical Park in Waimea, Kauai to "Pāulāula," the traditional Hawaiian place name for the site and location of King Kaumuali'i's royal compound.

Directs the Division of State Parks to develop new interpretive signs, brochures, and websites in Hawaiian and English that primarily reflect the history of Kauai's ali'i nui and the site's multicultural heritage.

Instructs the Division of State Parks to collaborate with the National Park Service to update the National Historic Landmark designation to incorporate the Hawaiian place name and recent historical and anthropological research.

Provides historical context that the fort was built in 1816 by Russian physician Georg Anton Schäffer under an agreement with King Kaumuali'i, was occupied primarily by Hawaiian leadership for over 40 years, and contains the remains of King Kaumuali'i's grandson and six other Hawaiians who died in battle.

Requires transmission of certified copies to the Secretary of the Interior, National Park Service Director, Governor, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and county mayors.
