My Ohana is deep rooted at Kawaihapal Ahupua’a with lineage spanning over 220 years along with being the one of the original landowners since The Mahele during King Kamehameha Ill reign. I’m also recognized by State Historic Preservation Division and Department of Interior as a Direct Lineal Descendant of Kawaihapai Ahupua’a regarding disturbance of my Ohana Iwi Kupuna in 2005. I’m further recognized by Department of Interior as Po’o (head) of The Kawaihapai Ohana which is a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) and on their NHO List (www.doi.gov). support with I admendments contained in attached PDF however Written before proceeding with the future of Kawaihapai Airfield Hoo’ponpono Testimony process needs to be addressed before those regarding keeping Kawaihapai Airfield open for civil aviation and among the several amendments to Resolution 21-7 is Hooponopono Process and a highly deserved seat at the table with Department of Transportation Airports Division and other Governmental Agencies to provide Native Hawaiian Representation and other Ohana like mine which had to leave during World War II thru Declaration of Taking I Executive Order to make a MIlitary Airfield. My Kupuna and Others had less than a month to leave and start life all over from scratch. I’m fortune, greatful and thankful that my Kupuna succeeded whereas some didn’t therefore thank Ke Akua I reside with my Wife in the same house during the time they had to leave. My Great Grandmother Clara Napuakekau Kakulu Keao was heir of a huge estate including land at Kawaihapai Ahupua’a expanding along the Northwest Coastline of :1 Waialua (Kamananui, Mokule’ia 1 & 2), Kikahi, Aukuu, Kawaihapai, Kealia and Ka’ena) and great Waialua Moku. Much of the cultural information featured in Bishop Museum Publication Sites of Oahu and others were provided by my Grandpa and his Kupuna via Lahilahi Webb whom they hanai to our Ohana. Like many Ohana there as those that were jealous and greedy that led to it’s depletion along with Governmental entities such as commiting those to Kalaupapa Leprosy Settlement. In my Great Grandmother’s case she had diabetes and caught the leprosy while at Kalaupapa however thankful she became an outpatient at Kalihi Hospital and later Hale Mohalu. Upon returning to her Community members of our Ohana and Community treated her and others who had leprosy as outcast and had to live like squatters. Since then it’s a closed matter for discussion within my Ohana because they have deep feelings that occured during that time. My Grandpa, Mom, Wife spent and I an entire afternoon with SHPD sharing sensitive cultural places at Kawaihapai especially within where the airfield is situated which contained lwi Kupuna. DOTA had 7 years prior to the disturbance of Iwi Kupuna and they ignored and desicrated my Ohana Ama and burials. This was covered exclusively by KHON2 for 2 years until they were reintered. Another Kuleana initiated I was ACT 276 of 2002 Legislative Session renaming Dillingham Airfield to Kawaihapai Airfield. None of the Tenants nor Senator Riviere supported this and only the North Shore Neighborhood Board and Life of the Land sent in supporting testimont along with my Ohana and I. It’s appalling that Senator Riviera and Tenants use the name Kawaihapai to suit their purpose which disrespects Hawaiian Culture. Aside from deep cultural ties my Ohana has rich community tenure at Kawaihapai thru my Grandpa receiving the Silver Lifesaving Medal in 1940 from Commanding Officer of Schofield Barracks for saving a soldier from drowning at Kawaihapai Army Beach and my Mom was a Lieutenant in the Civil Air Patrol and her wing was base at Mokule’ia field wherein 1953 she was the Outstandingt Cadet in her Wing and Territory of Hawaii where she attend Summer Camp for women Cadets at Lackland AFB in Texas. This is only a bit of my Ohana’s rich lineage and legacy at Kawaihapai therefore highly urge to include the contents of the attached ammendments with the current form of Resolution 21-7 and with an emphasis of Ho’oponopono and a highly deserving seat at the table with DOTA and othe Governmental Agencies deciding the future of civilian civil aviation at Kawaihapai Airfield that were there long before tthe Tenants and their leases with DOTA. I’d have like to note I an ongoing and successful relationship with the Army Cultural Resource Manager and Division at Schofield Barracks who is the landowner of Kawaihapai Airfield wthich the Depart of Transportation leases from them. Only the Tenants concerns are being addressed and represented and they are viewed as the only Stake Holders excluding Native Hawaiian and Community Concerns. Heartfelt Thanks especially to Councilmember THeidi suneyoshi and Representative Lauren Matsumoto for their sensitivety and willingness to make things right regarding this. Thru Representative Lauren Matsumoto was fotunate I to have a meaningful meeting with Airports Division Administrator Ross Higashi 2 to discuss my concerns whereas others didnt want to. This should be treated in similar fashion like HRS Chapter 5E and NAGPRA Chapter 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act whereas a Lineal Descendant is the top and preferential consultation before community and stakeholders regardless if supporting or opposing Resolution 21- 7. Thank you for your time. Malama Pono (do things right) Thomas T Shirai Jr Lineal Descendant of Kawaihapai Ahupuaa The Kawaihapai Ohana (Po’o) - NHO North Shore Neighborhood Board (Sub-District 1 Mokuleia - Kaena) Mokule’ia Community Association - Cultural Advisor Testimony Attachment Accept Terms and Agreement 1 IP: 192.168.200.67 3 From: CLK Council Info Sent: Sunday, January 24, 2021 7:01 PM Subject: Council Testimony Written Testimony Name The Kawaihapai Ohana Phone (808) 637-4690 Email [email protected] Meeting Date 01-27-2021 Council/PH Committee Council Agenda Item Resolution 21-7 Your position Support on the matter Representing Organization Organization The Kawaihapai Ohana Aloha Chair Waters & Councilmembers, The Kawaihapai Ohana is recognized as a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) by the Department of Interior (DOD and on the list of Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHO). The Kawaihapai supports Resolution 21-7 with amedments the attached PDF with this testimony. Before determining the future of civil aviation at Kawaihapai Airfield Ho’oponopono Process needs to be done acknowledging past events affectomg yesterdays Kupuna of Kawaihapai and what was done to the Ama thru Declaration of Taking and Executive Order further levelling the land and filling the streams that once crossed the runway providing nutrients to the marine life. Also under Mokule’ia and Kawaihapai is a huge aquafier and part of it was impacted by the rock quary which cracked the water table making Written it brackish water similar to what happend at Sailors Hat on Kahoolawe. Testimony The Kupuna of Kawaihapai and their Ohana had less than one month to leave their beloved land that was once prime agriculture land along with not being able to take everything with them which included Ohana Iwi Kupuna which were disturbed by the Department of Transportation Airports Division (DOTA) in 2005 which were provided information by descendants of a Kawaihapai Ohana 7 years before DOTA did their Capitol Improvement Projects for Kawaihapai Airfield.

There are a number ofland use decisions and developments that can greatly affect the safety of the airport zones and flight patterns. Some of these include reflective surfaces Qike building facades and solar panels), zip lines, communications towers, wind turbines, other structure nearing 200 feet or higher, and wildlife habitats. As directed by the Airport Division, we should be looking for any ofthe above mentioned hazards that are proposed within 5 miles of an airport. Our GIS staffwill be adding a layer into the GIS system noting this 5 mile radius. lf we receive an application with a questionable hazard, we should report it to the HOOT Airport Division and require the applicant to provide a letter of no effect or approval with conditions from that division. Reflective surfaces and tower like structures are relatively easy to identi1Y, but wildlife habitats may DOt be as obvious.

  • Testimony of the Department of the Attorney General Thirty-First Legislature, 2021 on the Following Measure: S.B. No. 1368
    TESTIMONY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THIRTY-FIRST LEGISLATURE, 2021 ON THE FOLLOWING MEASURE: S.B. NO. 1368, RELATING TO AIRFIELDS. BEFORE THE: SENATE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION DATE: Tuesday, February 16, 2021 TIME: 3:00 p.m. LOCATION: State Capitol, Room 224, Via Videoconference TESTIFIER(S): Clare E. Connors, Attorney General or Marjorie Lau, Deputy Attorney General Chair Lee and Members of the Committee: The Department of the Attorney General has the following comments on this bill. This bill prohibits the eviction of the tenants of the Kawaihapai Airfield who are in good standing until the expiration of the current lease that the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) has with the U.S. Army, which lease has an expiration date of July 5, 2024 (the “Kawaihapai Lease”), provided that the tenants remain in good standing. Prohibiting the eviction of tenants of the Kawaihapai Airfield may be deemed to be special legislation, in violation of article XI, section 5, of the Hawaiʻi Constitution. Article XI, section 5, of the Hawai‘i Constitution provides: The legislative power over the lands owned by or under the control of the State and its political subdivisions shall be exercised only by general laws, except in respect to transfers to or for the use of the State, or a political subdivision, or any department or agency thereof. Because the bill is clearly an attempt to exercise legislative power over lands owned or under the control of the State, the next issue is whether this bill, if passed, would be a general law or a special law.

  • RCED-83-98 Potential Joint Civil and Military Use of Military Airfields
    I 3 @gT73f; ‘ii THECOMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THEUNITED STATES Potential Joint Civil And Military Use Of Military Airfields GAO’s evaluation of joint civilian and military use of military airfields shows the concept to be feasible. Currently, 23 military airfields are operating under joint use agreements. Whether joint use can be expanded to other military airfields depends on over- coming problems unique to each airfield and on the full cooperation of the military and civilian parties involved. Some of the problems are --military concerns about impacts on mission, operations, and/or security; --lack of available land to house civilian operations; and --lack of support by a civilian sponsor resulting from community opposition or the lack of a real need for joint use of the airfield. The Congress directed the Secretaries of Defense and Transportation to submit a plan by September 1983 for making domestic military airfields avail- able for joint military and civilian use. GAO recommends action the Secretaries should take in developing this plan. 120738 GAO/RCED-83-88 MARCH 1,1983 Request for copies of GAO reports should be sent to: U.S. General Accounting Office Document Handling and Information Services Facility P.O. Box 6015 Gaithersburg, Md. 20760 Telephone (202) 2756241 The first five copies of individual reports are free of charge. Additional copies of bound audit reports are $3.25 each.
