These are documents, texts and articles that informed the Aha Moku traditional natural resource management initiative and the Aha Ki`ole Advisory Commission legislative reports. Community input, historical information, communication and corroboration, and consensus are the strengths of this system. The library contains documents in the public domain as well as some bibliographic entries that could not be displayed because of copyright and other protections. They are divided into Kingdom Era, Territorial Period and Statehood documents. The list is not exhaustive and includes links to other sites where the documents might be found. Some of the documents may have a fee to access the information. We hope that this library will grow.
