Vanishing Treasures Cultural Conections Issue - National Park Service - Bog

The Vanishing Treasures Program is focused on resources located in the arid Southwest. The National Parks on the Hawaiian Islands preserve and interpret places that are of significance to the descendants of the early Hawaiians. The Hawaiian Legacy program, which had been discussed for many years, strives to perpetuate Native Hawaiian activities and culture, ensure the preservation of knowledge of traditional skills in traditional construction methods, and provide future employment opportunities for skilled craftsmen in traditional construction technology.
