Pele Defense Fund is dedicated to the preservation and the perpetuation of Native Hawaiian traditional rights, customs and practices and to the protection of our unique island environment for all of Hawaii to enjoy now and in the future.
Pele Defense Fund President Palikapu Dedman: “We took a stand for this land two decades ago in the courts, and have never given up the fight to find a permanent way to protect this forest. We are looking forward to working with OHA and DLNR to keep this forest healthy and thriving — it is our responsibility as much as it is our right to malama this place that means so much to our community.” *
