I would argue that in 1964... there was no Internet, no Facebook, no email, etc...ie: it is not likely the majority of Traditional Hawaiians would have known about the construction or even been as connected to eachother
I was alive in the 1960's. In Hilo there was at least one newspaper with local news stories, as well as several AM radio stations which in the 1960's tended to focus almost entirely on local issues and events. Don't forget the coconut wireless. Public meetings were held over zoning and construction permits.
Word got around, perhaps not in the manner it does now, but if someone was interested in a specific event during that era, they could easily find out about it.
You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
