Mahalo for your Kokua this has touched my heart in such a way, while watching the video and gazing upon the land I felt such a longing to be home. As if my own feet once walked this very beach. I have always had such a love for the Big Island, although born on Oahu I have always referred to this moku as my home.I will indead pay a visit to Uncle when I am there.

That'll be great David. Koe nae papers will also be distributed as well so you might be interested in that. It is for Keauhou but I don't know how many acres.

I hope you guys make it!

Aloha, Yolanda

Just an update for all those following this, It was announced on the radio a couple days ago that 500 something acres at Kawa'a were to be purchased by the state, and put in reserve. Haven't been down to talk to Uncle about this yet, but things are stirring. Still I get the feeling that they are not going to win this one. The mayor going down is a big deal, who has the mayor go to their house once, let alone five times?

Anyway when I know more, I will post it.

Aloha Kakou

Aloha David,

Kanaka Maoli already won. Uncle already won. The Palapala Sila Nui or Palapala Hooko that they have in their possession is the only lawful deed to their land in Kawa'a. This was "insured" not "assured" by King Kamehameha III with the 1839 Constitution and the Mahele.

Even if the state purchases the land it is done under de fact conditions and is void on its face. The land still belongs to Uncle.

Is the 500 acres part of Uncles land or is it Crown land or Government (de jure) land? If so let's make a request from Mahealani to draw up koe nae paperwork.

K, Have a great day and Mahalo for the updates.

Kalula

Aloha Yolanda,

I will have to check with Uncle to make sure, but as far as I know, his family held the patent on the all the land in the area, and Uncle and his sister Haunani filed their papers with the bureau of conveyances over ten years ago.Again I will have to check on all of this.

Hello. I am sure you may already know but with title there must be acceptance and delivery.

It looks like they have delivery but there is no acceptance. I would not discuss things if I were him. I would go straight to litigation if not already. Someone may wanna get in there and attack acceptance instead of discussing things and trying to reason with unreasonable people because they're not gonna listen. They only want the land and title and unfortunately the ONLY time that some people listen is when attorneys are involved.

Just my mana'o but sometimes it pays to go over some people's head especially when they do NOT listen to you. In this case they are not listening to him and others like him....

I'm curious... where are the other people who can help him?

Aloha, Lana

So I went down and talked with Uncle, he did not seem concerned about the announcement on the radio. I also talked with his sister, and she shared his sentiments. Their great grandfather did hold the patent to all the land in the area, and they have signs posted to that affect. The signs have their great grandpas name, the fact that the land is private property, and the Helu of the patent.
