“We’re just trying to fight for our kids’ futures.'
At Koloa, one fact that everyone can agree on is that the land was originally part of an agricultural engineering marvel — a sophisticated irrigation system that fed water from a river down through Koloa so Hawaiians could grow crops in what is otherwise dry land. Known as the Koloa Field System, it, at one time, encompassed over 1,000 acres in Koloa.Evidence of the sophisticated system was found in earlier archaeological surveys, which identified many historic sites.
Another consideration is the presence of caves, or old lava tubes, underneath Koloa, where the wolf spider and amphipod have been found to live in adjacent properties. “We don’t actually have evidence of [burials],” says Downer of the archaeological history. “There may be or may not be.”
