Native Hawaiian Hunting/Fishing and Gathering rights are addressed in HRS §§1-1 and 7-1, and in Article 12 §7 of the Constitution of the State of Hawaiʻi. In order to legally exercise these constitutionally protected Native Hawaiian rights of gathering, a person must establish the following three factors. (1) He or she must qualify as “Native Hawaiian” within the guidelines set out in Public Access Shoreline Hawaii (PASH) v. Hawai’i County Planning Com’n, 903 P.2d 1246, 1270 (Haw. 1995). (2) Once qualified as a native Hawaiian, he or she must then establish that his or her claimed right is constitutionally protected as a customary or traditional native Hawaiian practice. Id. (3) He or she must also prove that the exercise of the right will occur on undeveloped or “less than fully developed property.” KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND EXERCISE THEM WITH ALOHA. When questioned by authority you also have the right to take out your phone and document it which would be my suggestion. Don’t be afraid to fight it in court. #maukadivision #makaidivision #huntingandgathering #righttoroam #berespectful #behawaiian #alohaaina #mahalospoch #yeahboys #justholo #farmersmarkethawaii (at Mauna Kea State Recreation Area)
