HI HR92

Honors cultural practitioner Troy Allen Kimeona Kane for his work revitalizing and perpetuating Native Hawaiian uhau humu pōhaku (Hawaiian dry-set masonry) knowledge.

Recognizes Kane's restoration of Pāhonu, an 800-year-old turtle pond built for Waimānalo Ali'i Kuikui, which required learning and practicing traditional dry-set masonry techniques.

Acknowledges Kane's teaching of uhau humu pōhaku, ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language), and cultural protocols to students of all ages from Hawaii, Canada, Aotearoa, and Palau.

Credits Kane with leading restoration efforts on over a dozen culturally significant sites across Oʻahu and other islands, including Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park on Hawaiʻi Island and projects in Palau.

Notes Kane's service since April 2019 as Director of Community Outreach for 808 Cleanups, an environmental nonprofit organization focused on restoring Hawaii's natural beauty and protecting indigenous ecosystems.
