Makua Valley retrospective exhibit begins March 20

Advertiser Staff

A group of 15 artists will present a retrospective exhibit on Makua Valley and its Hawaiian cultural foundation, and its use by the U.S. Army, from March 20 through April 11 at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, Academy Art Center at Linekona.

Makua, a wahi pana (celebrated place), once supported a large population in pre-contact times.

The valley, which had upland field systems and structures, is deserted today following more than 60 years of live-fire training by the Army.
