Revisiting the Kahikinui
Community Based Economic Development

4:00 pm to 6:00 pm

at University of Hawai‘i Maui College

Ike Leʻa Auditorium
(Click for Campus Map)

Revist Kahikinui Community Plan REGISTER FOR FREE TICKET

 

The purpose of revisiting the Kahikinui Community Based Economic Development & Makai Management Plan is to review the vision and principles to help clarify community building blocks to help guide sound decisions that have full beneficiary reach and serve both beneficiaries and waitlisters.

Original authors and principal faculty that produced the Kahikinui Community Based Economic Development & Makai Management Plan in the year 2000 will be contributing commentary and will be included on the agenda. A synopsis of presentations will continuously be presented to the Hawaiian Homes Commission (HCC) and the State of Hawaii Senate Hawaiian Affairs Committee.

The Senate Hawaiian Affairs Committee recently confirmed the new Department of Hawaiian Homelands (DHHL) Chair Kali Watson. There are over 28,000 beneficiaries on the DHHL waiting list. Act 279, provides $600 million dollars that is tasked to reduce the DHHL waiting list. The HHC reviews and approves proposals for project expenditures directed by this budget that was implemented in 2022. The $600 million was appropriated to address the needs of beneficiaries on the DHHL waitlist and those still waiting to get on their land. Homesteads across Hawai‘i are presenting their needs to the HHC for consideration.

The work of Farmers Voice Hawai‘i is committed to serving the needs of Kahikinui Homestead and improving the quality of life for Homesteaders. This work continues to contribute with securing county, state and federal grant funding that aligns with safe planning objectives and best practice methodologies.

Virtual delivery of the meeting may be selected by clicking link here: REGISTERING FOR A FREE TICKET or can be requested by emailing:

Paddling in Stolen Waters

Written by Faith Chase

It’s not the JAWS you know.

The adjoining property to the grown-famous street, O‘ili Road, used […]

GenY Hawaiians Fighting Real Estate Fraud Ask Why?

Written by Faith Chase Leave a comment

The island of Maui in Hawai‘i has had one of the largest water battles in history. A hundred year plus battle. Long standing court cases, incestuous land and water boards, corporation control of government, all these and more have led a sad path for native tenants who merely want water to farm. Broken promises exhausted […]

There’s No Water Under The Bridge

Written by Faith Chase

There has been 150 years of water theft from East Maui by conglomerate sugar barons. Their gross entitled attitudes have overflowed into abuse of power in cooperation with status quo, bought-off politicians. The reprehensible damage done to this remote East Maui area is not all visible. The fallow fields of kalo that once were, are […]

The Tortilla Machine Blew Up

If you don’t know this remote Maui region, its tricky to fully understand the obstacles of off-the-grid living. The Kahikinui Hawaiian Homestead does not have water. Homesteaders must drive 30-45 minutes one way to an Ulupalakua water source. This feat alone is laborious and costly. The region suffers from hydrophobic soil, which makes growing anything […]
