On Tuesday, October 22, Ka Huli Ao held an evening Maoli Tuesday, Legal Challenges at Maunakea: Disrupting the Status Quo. Panelists included: Bianca Isaki, an attorney representing Native Hawaiian practitioners who are asking the Land Use Commission to declare that the cumulative development on Maunakea is incompatible with the current land use classification as a conservation district; and Halealoha Ayau, a water resource management specialist with the Department of Hawaiian Homelands who questions the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation’s jurisdiction over the Maunakea Access Road. Both panelists bring renewed attention to legal issues that have developed out of the current efforts to protect Maunakea. Second Year Law Student Liʻipiʻilani Stevens Nāhiwa moderated. Maoli Tuesday is an evening forum & speaker event held in partnership with the Evening Part Time Program.
