'J11crc Is a story lfawaiians tell abonl lhc local crab~. You don't have lo I\Cep llawaiian crabs in a co\·crrcl bucket lo l;cep them from crawling oul, because the moment one tries lo crawl out, lhc rest will ~c sure to drag him down again.

Pac Galdcirn, Jcadcr of the newly formed group, called 1"J11e Hawaiians," tells the slory O\'er nnd over. There is a great moral in lhc story for him.

Galdcira wants "The Hawaiians" to work together lo push each other out of the bucl;et rather , than hold each other bark.

And he wants lo make sure no lid will press down on Jlawaiim,s and kcrp lhrm from claiming what is legally thcirti.

G.tldcira says he is o£fer• ing "The llawaiians" strong leader:;hip whkh lhcy have lacked.

ALWAYS smr.1:--G Mm sort-spol,rn he h,mlly srcrns the oulspul,en leader of the 400 llawaii;ms in his gruup ·,rho ltavc sponsored three public rallies in lwo months.

"You meet a lul of l1~1w:1i• fans com:crnrd .iboul problems, bul lhrrc b nobody to speak up for them," G aid• cirn said.

"1:-Z :\1\' OWN rxprricnce when we were younf:cl', five of us, all nwrricd :md wilh children, lived wilh our parculs," G;1hlcira :.:,iii. "It is hard lo live together. lil:e this. Things were lhiht with so m:rny families, kids lighl• ing. I don't lilloW how fantllles c.in :.laml it.''

Caldeira and his wife Ana and six children rl'nl a three bedroom home in Waimanalo for ~30. nut the home is· conclNnncd and Galdcirn has been on the homestead wailing lisl for a year.

"Commissioner (Abraham) Piianaia said we would come on an cmergcn• cy package and gel the rirsl lots that open," Galdcira said. "From that lime lo this we have had no commu• nicalion from lhem."

GALDEIRA DELIEYE3 the way lp allact lhe llawal• ians' land problems is lo begin with the waiting list. lie is planning a lrgal halllc

• with lite Hawaiian Homes Commission. The first two cases were filed yesterday in Federal Court nnd Circuil Court by Gilbert Johnson, Legal Aid attorney.

The com-l cases are an at• tempt by "The Hawaiians•• to get the Jlawaii:in Homes Commission to publish a list of wailing applicants In nu• merical order.

The second case requests clarification er the 1irocc• dures the Hawaiian Homes Commission follows in dclerminin~ leases. G a 1 <.I c Ir a claims that "no one knows how the commission decides who gets the laud."

Tilt-; CO)l~llSSlO~ handbook for homesteaders lists three calc,!oric5 o{ appli• cants: lhose with both-parents who arc 100 per cent llaw:iilan; those who h:ivc cnou1:h Hawaiian blood for one parent :111d a child lo qualify or whcro n person who l5 a full l1;1walla11 ls married to n 11011-llawallan,

'

nnd ,1 third priority la\;cs up others of 50 prr. ccnl Jlawai• ian blood. No one of less Uuin r,o per cent llaw:1iia11 blood ls eligible for homcslc:id land. Priorilirs arc Lo be gh-cn to lhe needy imd lo emergency casrs.

Galdl'ira claims that Jami• lies on the third priority list have received homesteads while those ahead of them have wailed years for property.

"WIIA'l' WE -WA:••tr is more land and more house• JoL,;," Galdeira said . "We want more pnslurc I.incl on lhe othl'J' lsl:mds. We \rnnt an ovcrlwul of the commis• sion's sy:.lcm of policies ~o the policies meet the pco• pies' needs." ,

Galdcira wants the commission to lease farm l:111d for long-lcrm leases rnlhcr than on shorl-lcnn, !lO-d.iy permits s11l'11 as on lhc Bi!:! !!.land.

Ga\dcira oujerls lo co111-mcn:i:1I leases of homcsll':111 proprrly as long :is the homestead w:iiling lisl for prl\'ale dwrllini::s Is 1011g. There nrc 2,0:1:1 families on lhc list, he i,aid.

arc suppo s ed lo benefit In !i0 years, the pro ~rnm has fallen

far shorl of reasonable e;,.; pccta lions, much less the dreams nwny Hawaiians had of rci:aining 1and losl in the Inst century.

'fhe Haw..1iinn Homes Commission· has jurisdiction over somewhere between 180,000 and 200,000 ac:rcs. Of these only -10,000 acres arc in house and farm lots for Hawaiians.

'fhcrc are some 2,900 families on the waiting list; some have been there a quarter-century. Only ubout 2,100 families arc now on the land under the program.

FIGUHES ARE uncertain-and that's part of the pt·oblcm-but clearly there arc a number of lroublcs9mc points about the homes program. 'fhc:::c °include:

o 'l'he wailing list and method of · selection from it arc of most immedi

ate coi1troversy, since they arc the subject of suits filed this week in both . Federal and Stale Circuit courts.

O There is the question of who is eligible. Some feel it is no longer realistic to require applicants to be at least half-Hawaiian.

Others feel it is tra~ic to put children off Urn land who don't meet the rncial crilerin after parents die.

0 Land availability is a key issue. Oahu has most of lhc applic.ints (2,000) nnd most o( the available jobs but only a fraction of the available lots, .

o A related question is whether it 1nakes social or economic sense in thi_s period to give people small form lot:-i.

Some s11~cest n subsidy program that would ·1nix Hawaiians in the rcr.ular community. Involved nrc holh outdated "reservation" concepts and newer ones .1bo11t preserving Hawaiian "lifc:;tylcs."

O Hawaii;rn Homes Commi:;sion leas es ar r unolhcr point of contro\·crsy. It's d 1ar,!ecl lhc l!l~O act w:is set up in a manner lo h~ncr1t su ;::ir interc:;ts1 nncl much land i:; lca:.;cd for cane ond ranch use:

l:1ncls mii:hl he used for Hawaiian hou:;e and farm lots, bul they hnvc a pre sent economic imporlnnc:c that is a factor. ·

o The Hawaiian Homes program is c:ons iclercd 1111clerfunded even for the limited job il allcmpls to do-cs-

. pcdally in rclalion lo Oahu's serious • ho11:-;ing shorla~c. .

O There is the clclicatc question of whether Hawaiiuns hm·c hcne£ited nnd should con~inuc lo gel special treatment on lnncl.

The aq ~rnncnls for suc:h treatment arc that in various ways they lost their native lands (ancl so have an inherent right) and have proved the ra cial r:roup least nblc to cope with the problems of modern society.

There is a mixed need for social development and cultural preserva~ lion. !

.'fllE i\NSWEHS on . these points arc uncertain .ind often controversial. 'fhc one clear point seems to be that some major chani~cs arc in order-perhaps a sweeping revision of the entire 1Iaw:1ibn Homes concept.

To this end the lDG!l State Legislature authorized $D0,000 for a research study of possiblc impro\·cments in the Hawaiian Homes pro g ram. It should be ready for the coming session.

As part of its ho11sinr, program, the State Adminh;lration has provided a $2 million loan for mortgages to quali• Iied Hawaiians. · ' ,

But much more is needed, ,md a key ingredient-in fad, the most important of all-is Hawaiian pnrticipation.

RAISED ON A homestead : Ric~ard Paglinawa·n. dep•

uty director of the lfawaii:m Homes Commission, estimates that the average home&tcader "wails years, not months, to get a homestead."

The commission has not made an official tabulation of the average wait for the 2,039 families on the homestead list, but Paglinawan guesses "about 15 years."

The 2,039 families repre-. sent approximately 10,000

adults and children who hope to be one of about 50 families to receive a homestead this year.

SIX Fi\l\IILTES on the waiting list, who are members of the newly-formed political action group called "The Hawaii11ns," told the &tory of their 7- to 18-yearJong wait for a homestead.

'fhe six families averaged 10 years of waiting for a'

· homestead of their own. The families interviewed ,

were: . 8 Mrs. Milly Shimabuku

of Nanalmli, 5U per cent Hawaiian, 18-year wait.

O Mr. and Mrs. Edward Inn of Waimanalo, both 50 per cent Hawaiian, H-ycar wait. ·- ~- ~.

O Mrs. Gena Kealoha of Waimanlo, 50 per cent Ha• waiian, 11-year wail. ..

0 Richard J liwaalani of Nanakuli, 100 per cent Hawaiian, 10-ye:ir wait.

C Mr. and Mrs . Moses Ho of Waiman.~lu, he is 66 per cent Haw.man and :.he is •10 per cent Hawaiinn, 7-year wait.

G Mr. and Mrs. Rol;n·cl M,1hiai of W,1im.111alo, she is 100 per cent 11.nrniian · :rnd he. is pnrl-Jlnw:1iian, 7-ycar wail. -Mrs. Shim:ihul:11 h:is \\=ah

in Papakolca, l\trs. Shimabuku fears that her own children will never own a homestead if she docs not receive one. -: • '"

"I feel like they djscoutagc everybody who applies for a homestead," she saiil. .. I asked them this year-if I had waited 18 years could.I turn my place over 1o• my children, but lh!!Y saicLno.:~.

"I also asked if I · could change my location prc(oicnce from Waimanalo tO"Nanakuli. A woman at the commission office said I could but it would put me at th~ bottom of a new list. . •

"IT IS A GOOD thing the Hawaiians have love. If we bad fought all lhc other races instead or accepting them, the Hawaiians would ~till have these Isla111Js. . :

"But Hawaii a 11 s don't want to protest. They arc ashamed lo protest. 'It is hard lo get them to· sign a r,etitjon or protest We lea\·c the demonstrations for the last resort," she said. · · •

While Edward and vloiet Inn have waited 14 years {or a homestead, they · tiave watched their children grow

into adults, sent two sons lO

lhc Army, become grandparents four times and wat~hed their chan~es of ~~!!111g a homestead dcCJeasc.

Mrs. Gena Kealoha of Waimanalo, her husband and six children share a hoi1se with 14 people in a condemned area while they have waited 11 years for a h9n\.cslend.

KAJIULUI-Some of lhc Hawaiian homesteads land ~tween Kula ant.I Kihci should be developed and turned over to Hawaiians \fho qualify for it, according to the chairman of the newly formed Maui branch 0£ "The Hawaiians." : Charles Makekau charged

that the Hawaiian Homes Commission has failed to keep pace with the changes taking place in Hawaii and has been lax in letting Ha• ''"aiians know how lo apply_ for h o m e s l e a d s lands, ,vhcre the lands arc located and what the requirements are {or qualification. I• . 'THE PURPOSE of the 2-

~onth-old !\Ia11i branch of tlie "The Jlaw.iiians" is to ~ct the homestc>ads lands into ti1c hands of the people who need the land, he said. : The :Maui branch has

about 200 members, mostly from l\Iaui's populous WaiJuJ,;u-Kahuluf area. Starling this week the group will begin a five-week island wide membership drive. • :Meetings, all scheduled to

slart al 7 p.m., arc planned for the following areas: : O Lahaina, today, La•

too much o{ lhc homesteads land on Maui is leasccl to non-llaw.1iians. i\laui Factors, a cattle r:mch opera-

. tion o( which l\l:iyor Elmer Cra\'alho is a partner, lc:iscs lfi,500 :icrrs or M:111i homestead lanll, more than half o{ the approximntcly :;o_r,r,o acr<'s or homestead land on the Valley Isle, ac• cordin~ to tl,1la ohtainl'd from the M,111i office of the

Hawaiian Homes Commlss1on.

l\fakekau acknowlcd~ed that most or the land leased by Maui Factors is unsuitable for dcvelopmcnl. Dewey Eberly, Maui project manager of the Department of Hawaiian Homes Lands, described the Maui Factors leaseholds al Kahikinui as "barren lava rock" accessi• hie only by a jeep trial. There is no water or electricity in the area, he sa~d. The Kahikinui area also JU· eludes about 7,500 acres 0£ homesteads land that is preserved for wa!ershcd.

K AO N O UL A RANCII leases 6,000 acres o( Kula homesteads land, which Makekau considers suitable for development. It runs ht a long strip between Kula and Kihei.

"It may be true that 25 years ago the homesteads lands were unavailn!>le for development," Makekau . said. "But now we have the modern equipment wi~h whicll to dc\'elop much of it, especially in the Kula area : Why does everything have lo go to Paukuka\o?' '

A portion ( l6 acres) of the 60 acres of homeslead.s lancf in lhe Paukukalo area has been used to build 59 lowcost homes, jncluding seven recently built for the Gove~nor's Housing Fair . In :uh..11-lion, !our or rive acres serve as a playground. "'Thcrc-· a re 1 1!.;ns lo rlcvelop •10 adrhlinnal lots of Paukukalo, Eberly said.

"IN 1'.\J.l\l:\'f. lo youn~ Hawaiians and the ~encral public, prol>ahly becaus~ of a lack of undcrslaudm~. they have the impre ssion that the Hawaiian llouws Conunis:-ion is a ch:,rHahlc orr,:inizalion, so they llon'l :1p11ly," J\lakckau said. "It ha.s become a sli~ma. I tell them il is their ri~hl hy birth. By all means, lakn advm1lagc o( it."

He was critical of what he described as the commissions' failure lo communicate. ·

"Being of Hawaiian ancestry, and knowing that thousands or acres of land are available to Hawaiians for multi-purposes, H's a shame that our Stale government or the Hawaiian Homes Commission doesn't sec lo it that the Hawaiian

•' citize·ns are kept informed of· what they are heirs to," he said • .

l\TAKEKAU, a 34-year-old landscaper and nurseryman by trade, said he didn't think about the possibility

-· of leasing homeslC':ids land unlil he found that the amount of properly he would need lo start a nurs<:ry was too costly.

"I didn't know who lo sec, or that there was a Hawaiian Homes omce here," he said. lie wrote a lcllcr to the Legislature.

Makekau appliccl for 40 acres of Kula land ahoul six months ago. lie said he has not yet recci\'cd any written communication for the commission.

"I ,::ot verbal confirmation from the l\Iaui orricc that my application h~d been received, but there 1s no horliculh•rc classification. The l\laui office in• formed me verbally, aUer I hounded them, that no water was available, so they can't award the properly up there. ·

"THEY SAID there is no money for assistance whatever. Then I read in the p~per, on Nov. 5, tha_l {?avid l(eala (the comnus~1oncr who repre sents i\I:im and l\Iololwi) s:iirl thC'rc i:; water for the h'.ula land. Th~it' s the kind of n111aro11nd ,,·e get."

"I OFTEN wonder just how much variable lands our Slate owns and if it's feasible for the Hawaiian Homes Commission to possibly trade some of these lands and make it available to Hawaiians to cultivate and build homes on. I feel that at least Hawaiians and their children may have a

• better chance in our fast• changing environment.

"Presently, most Hawaiian Homesteads lands arc )eased by large companies or· corporations. \\ 'hen lands come up for auction to the highest bidder, if a Hawaiian wants to lease a large parcel of land and has the money, he should be ab~e to _

do so." Makekau also suggested

that the commission should try to aid Hawaiians in forming corporations and going into businesses for themselves.

·,.If 'the commissioners were on top of the problems of Hawaiians, they would come up with feasibility studies and make recom• mendations," he said.

)I AKE KA U, who was born on Maui, and is known lo::ally for his musical talent, has moved betwe en Maui and the i\lainland several times since gracl!.lating from Baldwin High School. He found l\Iaui a difficult place to make a living. In l!J67, while a supervisor for parks. in Rh·erside._ Calif., he decided that i\Iam's tourist industry was expanding fast" enough to give him an

State Socio1 Service s Director William G. Among will likely be shilted sonn lo another cabinet-level post as head of the Hawaiian Homes Commission, it has been learned.

In caucuses last week, Gov. John A. Burns told State senators that Among wm leave Ute Social Ser• vices post he has held since 1963. But Burns, who will be inaugurated l\fonday for his th.J.rd term, also indicated to the lawmakers that Among might be in line for another State job.

Now, r c 11 ab I e State sources say Uiat Burns will tap Among to hccome chair• m an of the much-maligned Homes Commission. Both the Hawaiian Homes and Department of Social Ser• vices (DSS) jobs pay $30,250 per year.

The Hawaiian Homes pro• gram has been headed for the past eight years by Abraham K. Piianoia. But, · under State law, Piianaia is ineligible for reappointment to a third term as chairman.

IN RECE:\"f weeks, Myron B. Thompson-Burns' right-hand man as State administrative director-has said he was interested in moving into the Hawaii Homes job himself. A part• Hawaiian, he has been acth'e in II a w a i l a n ci\'ic groups and i~ O\'ersccing n current $90.000 study of the homestead program.

But selection of Among, also a parl -Hawniian, for the Hawaiian Homes job could now make Thompson a prime c o n t e n d e r for Amon~•s Social Services post. Thompson holds a master's degree i11 soci:11 work nnd worked in that field for more than 15 years before taking his current Stale job in 1007.

.Adi:crti.scr Maui IJurcar,

WAILUKU - The J\faui chapter of ''The Hawaiians" was organized here Monday night with more than 100 of its 217 paid-up members in attendance. • · The chapter elected officers, voted lo set dues at ~5 a year per member, and prepared for its first confrontation with the Hawaiian Homes Commission.

Charles I\fakekmr, newly elected president, said a meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Dec. 11! in the Kahului Li-. brnry Confcn:nce room. with nichard Paglinawan dcpu• ty Hawaiian Homes lands director.

"IJE AXD POSSIBLY others ,lill be here to hear your complnints." Makekau s.iid. "We expect to !(ct some kind of answers instead of the runaround we usually get." I -

· 'fhe Maui chapter is now part of the recenlly organ-ized Statewide organization known as The Hawaiians. Makekau said its purpose is "to get justice for the Hawaiians. We want the Hawaiians to make up their own minds about what is good fol' them."

The primary issue is Hawaiian Homes lands. As l\Jrs. Christine 'l'cruya said al the meeting; "We arc looking for land, for homes."

MAKEKAU SAID U1c first priority of the organization · would be to persuade Gov. John A. Burns to appoint a

Hawaiian Homes director they approve of.

-~- He said, "We don't want anvbodv old. We have sub.. milted four names of four you11g, energetic and con. ccrncd Hawaiians." :· • The Rev . .Mary Moku told how :!\Taui's Hawaiians • manar,ed several years to gel the Paukukalo Haw:uian · Homes_ project goin!;. She said, "You know, we no had ; • easy tune. We worked hard. When they said P.n1kukalo, ·'. ~1y late husband said it's h,1lf a loaf, lake il," she said. ... ·: l'IL\KEKAU COi\J:\IENTED, "We're coming for the

·iull loaf now." • 'l'he Hcv. !-,Joku said after the Paukukalo land was ar

1drnent would be "a pack:i;;:c_ deal.

icy o us packngc clcal," she said. "Tho.~e of you , got pack;i~e deal, you know what you got." The room

filled wilh lau;!hle:r. l\fakcl:au said,. "The Hawaiian lfomr .s Commission

said it had lo l>e a paclrnric deal, hut tlic Hawaiian Homes Act says you may build and develop your O\',ll home, no pacl:a[!c deal."

J\J.ikrJ,;nn :ilso derided the cxpi!rimcnfal homes pul up at Paul;ukalo earlier this year as part of the Go\'emor's Housing F:iir.

"I'VE SEEN trailer homt's on the Mainland lool:cd twice as i.:oo<I as these boi-:es down there. \\'ere they in-

spccled? We can't find out who inspected them," he i;:iid . He said some Hawaiians believed the ;;ovcrnmcnt

·would make $10,000 lo.ins on the houses, bul he said it won't. And he said Hawaiians were told the houses couid be bought for Sl30 a month, but some of lhcm "arc cosl•ing S200 a month."

Makekau said he himself applied for Hawaiian Homes land in Kula for commC'rcial horticultural use and found out "they don't ha\'e that classification and wet raising flowers is big business in Hawaii. They _figure it all comes under vc;etables and cows. As yet they don't know what horticulture is."

TUE LAND !\I.il:ekau applied for is parl"o{ o,000 acres in Kula leased for large ranch cattle grazing, but I\lakeJrnu said he has learned !hat under the law Hawaiian Homes kascs arc re\'ocablc. .

He said l\Iyron Thompson. lhc governor's aide, had : told A!akekau·s sister in Honolulu, "Tell your brother to forGct it, the lnnds arc aH leased and won't be ready for another :,,1 vears." . ' '

Makcl:au said, "He doesn't understand the leases are rcvocahlc . I don't see how this man can be Hawaiian Homes director," rcfcrrin ~ lo reports Gov. Durns has considered Thompson for the job. ·

J\I~KEKAU SAID he was told b~• 1\1:aui I\fayor_E_.!_mer

F. Cra\'a}ho two ye:1rs :igo lhat Hawaiian Homes leases arc rc\'ocablc by the commission. · Makekau said Cravalho confirmed that as partner in a Intl he [C':tsc1! some 20.0!J0 acres of Haw:iirnn Homes land high on Haleakala for cattl e grazing. J\1.il;.ckau said Cravalho told him, ''If you w;mt tho land, file an application. It's your right."

Cravalho said yesterday when asked aboul this that there is a standard rcrncalt;in clause in every Jlawauan · Homes lease. He said it's up lo the commission lo decide iC a· 1case should be rc, ·ol-.cd in order to ma ke U1e land available to a qualified H.1waiian applicant.

MAKEKAU S.-\ID, "I ndmirc the man for saying so," _but he also criticized the m.!yor for his part in the P:>ukukalo llo!lsing Fair. He said Cr:w all10 ''\','ants to rut experimental housin,:: on Jlawaii an Homes land. Do we l1avc lo ::iccrpt il'! r-·o we don ' I."

The troubled Hawaiian iromes Commis• sion, which has the duty of providing lowcost liomcsites to persons who can prove that they are at Je;:st half-Hawaiian, is about to get a new director. As Gov. John A. Uurns is inaugurn(ed for a third term today, selection of that new direclor appears to be one or the most bothersome items on llis agenda.

The law prohihits Abr,1ham IC. Piianai:i, who has hrt•n director of the commission for ci.l!ht yr:ll's, from serving a third term. Al one time l\lyron D. 'J.'hompson, Slate adminislrath ·e thrcclor, was mentronctl as u l)O(Pnlial a11pointee to repl .icc him.

nut la~t wcl'h Durns appeared likely to name \Yilliam G. Among, Stale direclor of :mcial scnic:cs, as he:id of the commis!iion. 'fhc pos"ihilily of Among's appointment brnught protests from 'J'hc Hawaiians, a group declicnletl (o helping the jndigeno11s Island people who in manv cases continue to live well below the average income level.

(The Hawaiians dc>crv tlle label "mili• fa11t," saying they hem: no relation 1o the Illack Panthers. the Brown J~crcls and other croups which claim to be allcmptii1 c; to help America's dnrl:-sl;innC'd people.

The progress, said Akaf\a, was reflected in the marketing of nearly ~500,000 worth of beef in the past yenr, an increase of 295 per cent over the first year's operation.

Ent he said the three main "difficnllies" were all directly or indirectly related to the Hawaiian Homes Department:

Homesteaders have inherited a poor image, because of the poor administration of HHC.

The farmers must operate uneconomical units -- 300 acres is too small to ranch.

Financing most serious difficulty Commission has insufficient funds for farmers

Federal State and private lendingagencies refuse to help this CO-OP.

The selection of new chiefs for the Hawaiian Homes and Agriculture DcpJrlmtncs is mandated by State law because the incumbents in those posts arc prohibited from serving new terms.

In those p,irlicular clcparlmC'nls, the dire<'lors also serve as chairmen of depart• mental commis~iuns. St:ilc law forhicls the appointment of commis!'ion members-including those lop C:ibinellcn•I appointees-to more than two four-year terms.

Burns said it is incumb-:?nt upon all citizens lo insure the best possible destiny fer the Hawaiian people.

"I GRANT YOU that this dcstinv has been too long comin·g for many Hawaiians. \\'e !;now too well who they me: those who fill the police records, lhc welfnrc rolls,
