A real life conversation with Maui “land manager” Jason Koga of Alexander & Baldwin Inc. This is an audio recording of a conversation between a kuleana tenant and Jason Koga claimed Maui office “land manager” of Alexander & Baldwin Inc. This conversation occurred at the Pe‘ahi access gate on the residential ‘Ō‘ili Rd. in Ha‘ikū on December 7th, 2020 at 11:23am. The kuleana steward holding the conversation is a thirty-year, second generation tenant of the area who holds extensive ‘āina kuleana and subsistence functions in the vicinity, his work catering to the well-being of the small neighborhood community. On 12-7-20 this kuleana tenant was watering the kalo (taro) at the Pe‘ahi gate when he was approached by Koga who was accompanied by a single Securitas personnel. Jason Koga of A&B Inc. is responsible for misappropriating and illegally subleasing Hawaiian Kingdom lands in the East Kaupakulua Ahupua‘a (Pe‘ahi) to Rodney Kilborn of Handsome Bugga Productions LLC. Kilborn utilizes the access he subleases to facilitate commercial activity on behalf of, and in collaboration with the World Surf League, Red Bull and other corporate sponsors. The particulars for Rodney Kilborn to coordinating this uninterrupted access to the most optimal big wave spectating point of coastline on the North Shore requires a strategic approach in order to covertly remove any last remaining lineal descendant Hawaiians living in the area. They work tirelessly in their attempts to normalize their distorted perception that Hawaiians don’t have perpetual subsistence gathering rights. For the last seven years, Rodney Kilborn and his partner Scott Shaw have taken steps to restrict the Native and Kuleana Stewards from the 300 acre parcel and shoreline at Pe‘ahi. They attempt to prohibit access all year by putting a lock on the gate, blocking the walking path access points with boulders and harassing Tenants into believing they no longer have the generational rights to gather resources in the area they were born and raised in. Kilborn and Shaw have resorted to filing erroneous restraining orders on Native Tenants of the East Kaupakulua Ahupua‘a as an attempt to silence community concern and complaints associated with the World Surf League and Red Bull’s excessive commercial parading of a sacred religious site and global competitive events in this quiet residential neighborhood / agricultural zone. The lack of reverence by the surf industry for the first and foremost well-being of the Hawaiian people and host culture is unacceptable. Visit AhaAlii.com/Heenalu to learn more.
