KUNIA, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The National Park Service has named its first superintendent of the Honouliuli National Historic Site, the location of a former World War II internment and prisoner-of-war camp in Central Oahu.
Hanako Wakatsuki has been acting chief of interpretation and education at Pearl Harbor National Memorial since October 2020 and acting site manager at Honouliuli National Historic Site since November 2020.
The Idaho native said she has a unique connection to the site because her own family was held at several Japanese internment camps during World War II.

The projects are among dozens benefiting Hawaii in the legislation, said U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz, a Hawaii Democrat.
In a video posted to twitter Tuesday, Trump called the tandem $900 billion COVID-19 relief measure a “disgrace, ” but seemed to conflate it with the $1.4 trillion omnibus appropriations package that funds the government.
