Japanese Americans were once forced to move to internment camps in Hawaii in a heavily forested area in Honouliuli Gulch near Kunia. The Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii has received permission from the landowner to research the site of a POW and internment camp. Generations have come and gone on this former cattle ranch. Some of cursory look has revealed some history. They found many cement slabs that could have been dated back to the 1944-45 era as well as bottles from that time period. They would get more ideas if they find former internees to help them in their current work. A panel discussion on the research will be held this Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Japanese Cultural Center.
