		On the surface, Kalaupapa looks like a picturesque Hawaiian village which has remained oblivious to the passage of time and the infection of modernity, but everywhere, there are constant reminders of Kalaupapa's grim and brutal history.

	STATEMENT OF DANIEL N
		H.R. 4529 would direct the Secretary of Interior to authorize Ka ‘Ohana O Kalaupapa, a non-profit organization, to establish a memorial at a suitable location approved by the Secretary of the Interior within the boundaries of Kalaupapa National Historical Park.
		Kalaupapa National Historical Park was established in 1980 to honor and preserve two tragic histories: the removal of indigenous people from the area in 1865 and 1895, and the forced relocation and isolation of Hansen’s disease (leprosy) patients to the peninsula from 1866 until 1969.
		If the committee acts on H.R. 4529, we would recommend adding a provision specifying that Ka ‘Ohana O Kalaupapa would be solely responsible for paying for the costs associated with the establishment of the memorial and would work with the National Park Service and its partners to design and locate the memorial.

		The colony established by Kamehameha V started on the eastern side of the peninsula, but soon grew in size, and eventually the colony shifted its population to the western side, displacing the original inhabitants, some moving on voluntarily, and others being evicted by the Hawaiian government to make room for the growing colony.
		I pondered the story of the Kalaupapa Peninsula as we stood overlooking her neat, trim village from the high cliffs that isolate this area from the rest of the island.
		It was, of course, this same “splendid isolation” that convinced King Kamehameha V to use the peninsula as a dumping ground for those afflicted with Hansen’s disease.

		Under the bill, the Secretary of Interior would authorize Ka 'Ohana O Kalaupapa, a non-profit group of resident-patients at Kalaupapa National Historical Park, and their family members and friends, to establish a memorial at Kalawao or Kalaupapa "to honor and perpetuate the memory of those individuals who were forcibly relocated to Kalaupapa Peninsula."
		Establishment of a memorial would also culminate the efforts of Ka 'Ohana O Kalaupapa which was formed in August 2003 to promote the value and dignity of the 8,000 individuals-90 percent of them Native Hawaiian-who were forcibly relocated to the Kalaupapa Peninsula, said Case.
		The memorial will display the names of the first 5,000 individuals who were forcibly relocated to the Kalaupapa Peninsula between 1866 and 1896, most of whom lived at Kalawao, and the names of about 3,000 others who arrived in a second wave when the community was concentrated in Kalaupapa.
