Kahoolawe is a small, uninhabited island located in the Hawaiian archipelago. It is known for its rich cultural history and was once used for military training, which has left significant environmental impacts. The island is now a site for restoration efforts and cultural practices, reflecting the deep connection of the native Hawaiian people to their land. The island covers about 45 square miles and is the smallest of the eight main Hawaiian Islands. Kahoolawe is often associated with the Hawaiian deity Kanaloa, and its restoration is a symbol of the broader movement to reclaim and preserve Hawaiian culture and heritage.
