The record — long form
Kalalau is the valley — the 'Eden' that's the description, the 2,000 that's the Hawaiian population. The trail is the '1800s — the 11 miles that's the access, the 'blocked by cliffs' that's the end. The hippies are the '60s — the squatters that's the outlaw, the 'avos and mangoes' that's the living.
The taro was the terraces — the irrigation that's the ancient, the 'intensively cultivated' that's the record. The crackdown is the now — the '34 tickets' that's the '17, the fugitive that's the end. Kalalau is the forbidden — the 'paradise' that's the lure, the 'illegal' that's the living.
The file keeps Kalalau: the 2,000 Hawaiians, the '60s hippies, the trail, and the crackdown.
