OLOWALU — From a distance, it appears a flock of birds left their collective droppings all over a cliff face that holds some of the finest examples of Hawaiian petroglyphs. Also known as Pu’u Kilea, there are about 100 petroglyphs spread across the face of the basalt cliff in the Olowalu Valley. The state Department of Land & Natural Resources’ Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) was notified of serious vandalism last week Tuesday, after someone with a paintball gun fired shot after shot onto the dark cliff.
The Hawaiian petroglyphs are approximately 300 years old. (CNN)Hawaiian authorities are asking for the public's help to find those responsible for vandalizing a cultural site with paintballs.
About 100 Hawaiian petroglyphs are spread across the rock face of Pu'u Kilea in the Olowalu Valley, according to Hawaii's Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE).
The department was notified of a paintball "attack" on the cliff June 29 and authorities went to investigate on Saturday.
What appears to be bird droppings, are really splotches of paint defacing the historic landmark.
"White and yellow splotches of paint are spread across nearly the entire cliff face from the top to the base and from one side to the other," he said. "It's hurtful to see this kind of disrespect for our culture."
