"This is the beginning of the struggle; this is not the end." In 1978, people throughout Hawaiʻi turned out to speak against the US Navy's live fire training on Kahoʻolawe. After the Protect Kaho'olawe 'Ohana (PKO) sued the Navy to stop the bombing, the Navy was legally compelled to draft an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for their continued use of the island. Haunani-Kay Trask and other PKO members testified at public hearings, like this one in Hilo, Hawaiʻi. When Haunani-Kay took the microphone, she highlighted the Navyʻs record of behavior – how they harmed the island and broke US laws. Then she told the audience that if the military loses Kahoʻolawe, it would be a precedent to get all the lands back. In 2026, as the US military leases begin to expire, Trask's words have new relevance.
