Kaulana NÄ Wai Ê»EhÄ: Restoring Maui’s Four Great Waters
October 4, 11:45am - 1:00pmMānoa Campus, Moot Court Room, Law School
For almost a decade, community groups and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) have been engaged in litigation to restore mauka to makai stream flow to NÄ Wai Ê»EhÄ, the four great waters of Maui. For over a century, two sugar plantations drained WaiheÊ»e, Waiehu, ʻĪao and WaikapÅ« streams dry to irrigate cane. With the closure of one plantation, grassroots groups petitioned the State Water Commission to restore their streams and communities. On August 15, 2012, the HawaiÊ»i Supreme Court granted the community groups’ and OHA’s appeals and reversed the Water Commission’s final decision in this case. Come and meet two of the lead attorneys and find out what impact this case had on NÄ Wai Ê»EhÄ’s streams and communities, the legal protections for traditional and customary Native Hawaiian practices, and the future of water litigation in HawaiÊ»i nei. Special tribute will be paid to Professor Jon Van Dyke, who represented Maui County in this case.
Speakers: Pamela Bunn - Of Counsel at Alston, Hunt, Floyd and Ing, who represents OHA in NÄ Wai Ê»EhÄ related litigation; and Isaac Moriwake - an attorney in the Honolulu office of Earthjustice, who is the lead attorney representing Hui o NÄ Wai Ê»EhÄ and Maui Tomorrow Foundation.
