Rachel Hodara Nelson, Archeologist and Cultural Resources Program Manager at Haleakalā National Park, will present a brief overview of the Cultural Resource program, with a special emphasis on the archeological resources throughout the park and current ongoing archeological projects.  With a B.A. in Anthropological Sciences at Stanford University and her M.Sc. in Environmental Archaeology and Paleo-economy from the University of Sheffield, Ms. Hodara Nelson brings her interest in the interactions of humans on the landscape through the lens of archaeology, and works to bring Hawaiian archaeology, history and culture to life for park visitors and the local Maui community where she was raised.

Following her talk, Kawai Domingo, Volunteer Coordinator at HNP, will review the current status of the Park, as well as the plans for safely re-opening Park access.

After that, the Friends officers will give updates about 2020 achievements and 2021 plans and programs.  FHNP members will elect the board of directors for 2021.
