ʻEkolu mau panelists i kaupaona i nā pilikia:
KANAKA
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sandra Shilstone, ka pelekikena a me ka Luna Hoʻokele o New Orleans Tourism, ke kau nei lākou i ka manaʻo nui i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻoi aku i nā manawa lohi. Hoʻohana ka mākaʻikaʻi ma luna o 80,000 mau kānaka ma mua o Katrina a hāʻawi i ka hapakolu o ka hoʻokele waiwai. Ma kahi o 15 miliona mau kālā i kēlā me kēia lā e nalowale ana mai nā ʻaha kūkā i hoʻopau ʻia ma hope o ka ʻino. Ke hele mai nei nā mea kākau kaua ma kahi o nā mea nūpepa huakaʻi a hāʻawi i ke koena o ka honua i kahi kiʻi weliweli o ke kūlana o nā mea.
ʻO kahi hoʻoholo mua nui e hoʻomau me ka 150th anniversary Mardi Gras, ʻoiai ka haunaele. Ua hoʻolaha ʻia kahi hoʻolaha "Thanks America" i nā poʻe a pau i kōkua i ka wā ʻino loa. I hoʻokahi pule ma hope o Mardi Gras, ua hoʻokipa ʻo New Orleans i ka hālāwai ʻaha kūkā o SATW Freelance, e ʻimi ana i kekahi o nā poʻe nūpepa huakaʻi holomua loa e kōkua i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka ʻōlelo e wehe mau ana ʻo New Orleans no ka ʻoihana a ke ola mau nei ka ʻuhane o ke kūlanakauhale. Aia kahi hoʻolaha "Come Fall in Love with New Orleans All Over Again" i loaʻa kahi hoʻolaha media nui ma ka US.
ʻO nā hōkū pāʻoihana kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe ʻo Jerry Davenport a he mau tausani. Ua hoʻi mai ke kaiāulu noʻeau me ka vive, e hoʻomaka iki ana inā he moʻomeheu renaissance. Ke wehe nei ka Audobon Nature Institute i kahi Insectarium i Iune, e hana ana i ka leʻaleʻa ʻohana.
Hoʻoulu ʻia ka "Voluntourism", ʻoiai e hele mai nā mea manawaleʻa e kōkua i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka pōʻino. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ke piʻi nei ke kākau inoa ʻana ma nā kula nui e like me Loyola me nā haumāna i hele mai e kōkua i ka hana hou ʻana.
Ma mua o Katrina, he 10.1 miliona ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi makahiki a ma 2006 ua emi iho i 3.7 miliona mau kānaka. I ka makahiki 2008, ua hoʻonui ʻia he 90 pakeneka, akā mau kekahi mau manaʻo kuhi hewa. Manaʻo ka poʻe aia ke kūlanakauhale ma lalo o ka wai a ʻaʻole mākaukau e kipa ʻia. E hoʻi mai ana ke kūlanakauhale, akā pono nā mākaʻikaʻi leʻaleʻa hou aʻe e hoʻomau i ka hoʻōla.
KEKAHI
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Warren J. Riley, ka luna hoʻomalu o ka ʻOihana Makai o New Orleans me 27 mau makahiki i loko o ka pūʻali mākaʻi: Ma ke ʻano o ka hewa a me ke kūkulu hou ʻana - ʻekolu mau wahi i luku loa ʻia a he 5 o 19 i pōʻino loa. Ua hoʻolimalima ʻia nā luna 174 i ka makahiki i hala a me 72 i kēia makahiki. Nui nā luna e noho ana i loko o nā kaʻa kaʻa he 10 a 25 kapuaʻi me ʻehā mau kānaka ma ka hale kaʻa like. Ua luku ʻia ka ʻāpana hoʻoponopono kalaima - ua hana ka poʻe ma waho o nā kaʻa kaʻa a me nā keʻena bar, akā ke hana nei ka ʻōnaehana i nā cylinders āpau ma muli o ka manaʻo ikaika e hoʻi i ka home. He paʻakikī loa nā makahiki ʻelua, e hoʻāʻo ana e hoʻopaʻa i ke kūlana ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana.
Manaʻo ʻo Superintendent Riley ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mākaʻi o New Orleans i nā hanana nui ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe o ka ʻāina. Ua pōkole ka ikaika me kahi o 170 mau luna akā manaʻo ʻo Riley e hoʻopiha lākou i kēia i ka makahiki aʻe. Manaʻo ʻo ia e hōʻike i ka palekana o ke kūlanakauhale e kipa aku ai a pono e ʻoluʻolu nā kānaka. Ua hana nui ʻia a ʻike ʻia nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi. Ma luna o 800,000 poʻe i mālama ʻia i ka wā Mardi Gras me ka ʻole o kahi hanana, kahi mea i haʻaheo ai ʻo Riley.
ʻO kekahi o nā poʻomanaʻo weliweli ma hope o Katrina ua pololei ma muli o ka nele o ka mana o ka mākaʻi, akā ua hoʻololi nā hana hoʻolimalima i kēia mau mea āpau. E mākaʻikaʻi ana nā luna huna i kekahi o nā wahi kaulana e like me ke alanui Bourbon. Ua hoʻonui ʻia nā helu mai 88 mau luna ma mua o Katrina i 124 i hāʻawi ʻia i ka French Quarter. E like me nā kūlanakauhale nui ʻē aʻe, aia nā wahi hopohopo e pili ana i ka hewa. Nui ka hewa i loko a pili i ka lāʻau.
ʻEhā mau halemai i hiki ke mālama i nā lehulehu nui ma ke kūlanakauhale, a me nā mea hana ʻē aʻe me kahi kaʻa he iwakālua mau minuke mai ke kūlanakauhale. Aia kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ka mākaukau no nā pilikia mai nā lā ma mua o 9/11.
KA AHAAINA JAZZ AME HOIWI
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Quint Davis, ka mea hana a me ka luna o ka New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, ke nānā nei lākou i ka ʻahaʻaina ma ke ʻano he hoʻohālike no ke kūlanakauhale - kahi microcosm o New Orleans. Aia ma kahi o 5000 mau mea hoʻokani pila e komo i kahi ʻahaʻaina, akā i ka wā ʻo Katrina, ʻike ʻia he hapa nui loa. Ua hoʻoholo lākou e loaʻa, ʻoiai ʻo ka heluna o ke kūlanakauhale holoʻokoʻa a puni ka nui o ka lehulehu o ka lā hoʻokahi. Ua ʻae nā inoa nui e hele mai no ka hanana a he 50 a 60,000 paha ka poʻe i hele mai. Ua ʻike ʻia ka makemake o ka poʻe e ʻike i ka hana ʻana a me ka hele ʻana.
I ka makahiki i hala aku nei ua hoʻi hou ʻo New Orleans ma kahi o 30,000 mau lumi a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā huakaʻi hele honua i ka ʻaha jazz ma mua o ka 9/11.

ʻO Jazz Fest kahi hanana New Orleans - ʻaʻole he hanana mele wale nō. ʻO ka hopena ma ke kūlanakauhale o ka Jazz and Heritage Festival ma kahi o US $ 285 miliona. Ua hoʻolaha ʻia he 103 mau bana ola ma ka pepa o kēia lā e pāʻani ana ma ke kūlanakauhale i kēia manawa. Ke hele nei ʻoe ma nā alanui kaulana e like me ke alanui Bourbon, puka mai nā mele ola mai nā hale he nui, kahi leʻaleʻa i kahi au o nā mele paipu a me nā DJ.
