Description
"Ua koe ke kuleana o na kanaka"-- a statement from the 1846 Principles of the Land Commission that ensures one's right to access cultural and natural resources on "private" lands and suggests that the interest of native tenants remains in all lands. "'Apuka 'Aina" - a term coined by Leilani Kapuni in 1986 when a party swindled her family's kuleana lands in Kalua'aha, Moloka'i. The Kapuni 'ohana sadly lost those parcels. But thanks to their efforts and those of the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, Hawaiians must receive proper notice of any attempt to extinguish interest they may have in ancestral lands. This pattern honors the efforts of the Kapuni 'ohana in its artistic depiction of the parcels that were taken from them.
