Hui Hoʻōla ʻĀina
Hui Hoʻōla ʻĀina. Our organization is dedicated to enhancing social and economic sufficiency by creating a holistic farmstead in Onomea on the Island of Hawai’i. This farmstead produces indigenous crops such as kalo and ‘uala, and fosters community engagement through hands-on workshops based on traditional cultural practices.
At Hui Hoʻōla ʻĀina, we take great pride in our kanaka oversight and engagement. This ensures that foreign agency is only conducted and applied where beneficial to the natural environment. We understand the importance of preserving our cultural heritage while also promoting sustainable practices for the future.
Through our efforts, we strive to create a harmonious balance between tradition, community engagement, and environmental conservation. We believe that by working together, we can make a positive impact on both our local community and the natural world around us.
Thank you for your support of Hui Hoʻōla ʻĀina and our mission to create a more sustainable and prosperous future for all

LETTER TO THE DLNR
The impacts of military activity on these lands go beyond environmental concerns. The safety and well-being of nearby communities are also at risk. Fires, noise pollution, dust pollution, and the threat of soil and water contamination are all very real issues that must be addressed. The cultural significance of these lands is also of utmost importance and should not be overlooked.
The ruling in Ching v. Case made it clear that the State has a duty to monitor and ensure the proper care of these leased lands by the Army. By considering the sale of these lands to the Army, the State is turning a blind eye to its responsibilities and setting a dangerous precedent. We cannot allow this to happen.
I urge you, esteemed members of the DLNR, to stand with us in opposition to the Army's request for appraisal services and the potential purchase of these state leased lands. It is imperative that these lands return to the State once the Army's lease expires in 2029. Our environment, our communities, and our cultural heritage depend on it.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Let us work together to protect and preserve our precious lands for generations to come.
END THE LEASE:
CURRENTLY THE LEASE IS FINISHED BUT DUE TO AN EXTENSION WITHOUT PUBLIC APPROVAL OR FEEDBACK THEY HAVE ONCE AGAIN NEGATED THE PUBLICS POSITION AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS IS NOT PONO AND PUTS THE AQUIFER WHICH SITS DIRECTLY BELOW AT RISK FOR MORE CONTAMINATION.
HELP US DEMAND WATER AND SOIL TESTING AS WELL AS A CULTURAL IMPACT STATEMENT BEFORE THE EXTENSION IS EVEN CONSIDERED.
