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.

Yes. For Grānicus, I would frame it as a request for verification rather than making any assertion that the historic claims are valid or invalid. That makes it relevant to Bill 108 and puts a specific due-diligence question before DRIP.
You could post this:
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.
