Specific Land Commission Award and Royal Patent interests have now been identified in connection with lands within South Maui.
Rather than asking the Committee to determine the validity of individual ownership claims, I believe this presents a factual question that can and should be answered through the County's land-use review:
For parcels receiving new or substantially changed Community Plan designations under Bill 108, has the County identified the Land Commission Awards, Royal Patents, kuleana interests, and other original land grants underlying those parcels and reconciled them with the present-day parcel and ownership records?
The existence of an original Land Commission Award or Royal Patent does not, by itself, answer the question of present ownership. Interests may have subsequently passed through inheritance, conveyance, probate, partition, quiet-title proceedings, Land Court proceedings, or other transactions. Conversely, the appearance of a current owner on modern County records does not necessarily tell the Committee whether unresolved historical interests or title claims exist.
I am therefore not asking DRIP to decide who owns disputed property.
I am asking whether the County has done the due diligence necessary to know whether such issues affect lands for which this Community Plan proposes significant changes in future land use.
If specific Land Commission Award or Royal Patent numbers are being asserted as affecting parcels within the Growth Framework, the Planning Department and Corporation Counsel should be able to determine:
• whether those historical awards actually overlap parcels affected by Bill 108;
• how those awards correspond to current Tax Map Keys and Community Plan designations;
• whether subsequent conveyances, probate proceedings, Land Court registrations, quiet-title judgments, or other recorded instruments establish the present chain of title;
• whether any unresolved kuleana, heirship, ownership, access, gathering, or other legally recognized interests remain; and
• whether any such unresolved interests should be identified before the County changes the long-term land-use designation of the affected property.
This is particularly important when the Community Plan may establish additional development potential.
The Committee does not need to resolve private title disputes to ask whether they exist.
Before establishing a twenty-year land-use framework for these properties, the County should know what land it is planning, what historical interests are associated with it, and whether the public record establishes the relationship between those historical interests and present ownership.
I respectfully request that the Planning Department and Corporation Counsel explain what review of Land Commission Awards, Royal Patents, kuleana interests, and present chains of title has been performed for parcels receiving significant new or changed designations under Bill 108, and whether the specific historical awards being identified in the public record can be mapped against the Growth Framework.
Chair and Members of the DRIP Committee:
As the Committee reviews and potentially changes land-use designations throughout the South Maui Community Plan area, I would like to raise an additional question concerning the underlying land record.
For parcels receiving new or changed land-use designations under Bill 108, has the County verified current parcel ownership and identified any surviving kuleana interests, Land Commission Awards, Royal Patents, or unresolved title claims affecting those parcels?
Hawaiʻi's land history makes this more than simply a question of who appears on a current tax record. Land Commission Awards and Royal Patents are part of the foundation of private land title in Hawaiʻi. HRS §172-11 specifically provides that a land patent issued upon a Land Commission Award is issued in the name of the original awardee and benefits the original awardee's “heirs and assigns.” Hawaii Data Portal
That does not mean that descendants of an original awardee automatically own the property today. Property may have subsequently passed through inheritance, conveyances, probate proceedings, quiet-title actions, Land Court proceedings, partition, or other transactions. Determining present ownership therefore requires examination of the actual chain of title rather than either assuming that an original award establishes present ownership or assuming that historical interests no longer exist.
This issue has particular relevance in South Maui. In the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court's June 2026 decision in ATC Makena N Golf LLC v. Kaiama, involving Mākena property, the Court addressed a dispute over title derived from historic land awards. The Court reiterated that establishing legally cognizable private title requires showing that the claimant or a predecessor acquired an LCA, Royal Patent, Kamehameha Deed, Grant, Royal Patent Grant, or other government grant for the land, and the party asserting title in that litigation was required to establish its own title when it was challenged. Hawaii State Courts
This suggests a practical question for the Community Plan process.
Before the County changes the long-term land-use designation of a parcel, particularly where substantial future development is contemplated, should the Planning Department identify whether the parcel contains or overlaps historic Land Commission Awards or kuleana interests and determine whether the current ownership record and chain of title have been adequately established?
I am not asking the Committee to determine ownership disputes. Those are legal matters that may ultimately belong before the courts. I am asking whether the County should know whether such issues exist before making long-term planning decisions affecting those lands.
If historical claims or unresolved interests exist, they should be identified in the record so that the Committee understands what it is designating and so that legitimate title questions can be addressed through the appropriate legal process rather than being discovered after the Community Plan has been adopted.
I respectfully ask the Planning Department and Corporation Counsel to advise the Committee what title verification, if any, is performed when parcels receive new or substantially changed Community Plan designations under Bill 108, and how known Land Commission Awards, kuleana interests, Royal Patents, or unresolved ownership claims are treated in that process.

+More who have never been even compensated, CONTACTED or involved with this!!! No matter if sold which the original title holders would LEASE, THEY OWN THE LANDS NOW AND FOREVER
The original title holder from the mahele and their descendants own them FOREVER thats what ano alodio is ALLODIAL TITLE meaning FOREVER and sense the state of hawaii based 172-11 off of hawaiian kingdom law, the word inure is supposed to be ENURE because Kamehameha 3 DID NOT use the blackstone legal dictionary with the word inure, Kamehameha 3 used the word "ENURE" which Kamehameha 3 used from the french law book!!!!!! TWO COMPLETLEY DIFFERENT MEANINGS!! SO THAT MEANS ALL THE ORIGINAL TITLE HOLDERS ALL THE ROYAL PATTENTED LANDS and sense ALL HAWAII is royal pattented the descendants of the original royal pattent holders IN FACT DO OWN ALL THOSE LANDS NO MATTER IF you assume they SOLD& NO MATTER WHAT!!!! 99% of the illegal owners who developed that area are NOT descendants of the original title holders which makes them being there illegal because the lands were supposed to revert back to then original title holder and their descendant's FOREVER Ano alodio ALLODIAL TITLED BY KAMEHAMEHA 3 & GOD
Myself along with over 20 different ohana highly oppose this. The lands you have been discussing in this meetings about south/south east Maui have incorrect information, because the supposed "owners" you guys have been talking about are the incorrect and illegal owners. The OWNERS of those lands ARE THE ORIGINAL TITLE HOLDERS from the mahele made by the Hawaiian Kingdom from Kamehameha 3 & By GOD that belongs to the ORIGINAL TITLE HOLDERS & their descendants FOREVER!!
Not only these plans are a state violation from HRS but is a violation on an interernational level being hawaiian kingdom lands!!!! RETURN THE LANDS TO THE ORIGINAL TITLE HOLDER and descendants BY LAW!!!
Allodial Titles are Forever for kanaka maoli/Kanaka Hawaii Maoli, and Fee Simple or Lease (only 30 years) are for Aliens. The Aliens can never own Allodial Titles which is exclusively for kanaka maoli/Kanaka Hawaii Maoli only.
The Usurpers moved to promote Fraud, Deceit, Criminal Malfeasance, piracy, pillaging, racketeering, privateering, Genocide to criminally claim what they could never own. Allodial lands are forever, and forever lands which are the Paramount, Superior Titles deeded to kanaka maoli Kamehameha III & By GOD- Kauikeaouli.

Specific Land Commission Award and Royal Patent interests have now been identified in connection with lands within South Maui.
Rather than asking the Committee to determine the validity of individual ownership claims, I believe this presents a factual question that can and should be answered through the County's land-use review:
For parcels receiving new or substantially changed Community Plan designations under Bill 108, has the County identified the Land Commission Awards, Royal Patents, kuleana interests, and other original land grants underlying those parcels and reconciled them with the present-day parcel and ownership records?
The existence of an original Land Commission Award or Royal Patent does not, by itself, answer the question of present ownership. Interests may have subsequently passed through inheritance, conveyance, probate, partition, quiet-title proceedings, Land Court proceedings, or other transactions. Conversely, the appearance of a current owner on modern County records does not necessarily tell the Committee whether unresolved historical interests or title claims exist.
I am therefore not asking DRIP to decide who owns disputed property.
I am asking whether the County has done the due diligence necessary to know whether such issues affect lands for which this Community Plan proposes significant changes in future land use.
If specific Land Commission Award or Royal Patent numbers are being asserted as affecting parcels within the Growth Framework, the Planning Department and Corporation Counsel should be able to determine:
• whether those historical awards actually overlap parcels affected by Bill 108;
• how those awards correspond to current Tax Map Keys and Community Plan designations;
• whether subsequent conveyances, probate proceedings, Land Court registrations, quiet-title judgments, or other recorded instruments establish the present chain of title;
• whether any unresolved kuleana, heirship, ownership, access, gathering, or other legally recognized interests remain; and
• whether any such unresolved interests should be identified before the County changes the long-term land-use designation of the affected property.
This is particularly important when the Community Plan may establish additional development potential.
The Committee does not need to resolve private title disputes to ask whether they exist.
Before establishing a twenty-year land-use framework for these properties, the County should know what land it is planning, what historical interests are associated with it, and whether the public record establishes the relationship between those historical interests and present ownership.
I respectfully request that the Planning Department and Corporation Counsel explain what review of Land Commission Awards, Royal Patents, kuleana interests, and present chains of title has been performed for parcels receiving significant new or changed designations under Bill 108, and whether the specific historical awards being identified in the public record can be mapped against the Growth Framework.
Chair and Members of the DRIP Committee:
As the Committee reviews and potentially changes land-use designations throughout the South Maui Community Plan area, I would like to raise an additional question concerning the underlying land record.
For parcels receiving new or changed land-use designations under Bill 108, has the County verified current parcel ownership and identified any surviving kuleana interests, Land Commission Awards, Royal Patents, or unresolved title claims affecting those parcels?
Hawaiʻi's land history makes this more than simply a question of who appears on a current tax record. Land Commission Awards and Royal Patents are part of the foundation of private land title in Hawaiʻi. HRS §172-11 specifically provides that a land patent issued upon a Land Commission Award is issued in the name of the original awardee and benefits the original awardee's “heirs and assigns.” Hawaii Data Portal
That does not mean that descendants of an original awardee automatically own the property today. Property may have subsequently passed through inheritance, conveyances, probate proceedings, quiet-title actions, Land Court proceedings, partition, or other transactions. Determining present ownership therefore requires examination of the actual chain of title rather than either assuming that an original award establishes present ownership or assuming that historical interests no longer exist.
This issue has particular relevance in South Maui. In the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court's June 2026 decision in ATC Makena N Golf LLC v. Kaiama, involving Mākena property, the Court addressed a dispute over title derived from historic land awards. The Court reiterated that establishing legally cognizable private title requires showing that the claimant or a predecessor acquired an LCA, Royal Patent, Kamehameha Deed, Grant, Royal Patent Grant, or other government grant for the land, and the party asserting title in that litigation was required to establish its own title when it was challenged. Hawaii State Courts
This suggests a practical question for the Community Plan process.
Before the County changes the long-term land-use designation of a parcel, particularly where substantial future development is contemplated, should the Planning Department identify whether the parcel contains or overlaps historic Land Commission Awards or kuleana interests and determine whether the current ownership record and chain of title have been adequately established?
I am not asking the Committee to determine ownership disputes. Those are legal matters that may ultimately belong before the courts. I am asking whether the County should know whether such issues exist before making long-term planning decisions affecting those lands.
If historical claims or unresolved interests exist, they should be identified in the record so that the Committee understands what it is designating and so that legitimate title questions can be addressed through the appropriate legal process rather than being discovered after the Community Plan has been adopted.
I respectfully ask the Planning Department and Corporation Counsel to advise the Committee what title verification, if any, is performed when parcels receive new or substantially changed Community Plan designations under Bill 108, and how known Land Commission Awards, kuleana interests, Royal Patents, or unresolved ownership claims are treated in that process.
