Negotiations over extending Hawaii’s military leases have reached a new level as the Hawaii House of Representatives Native Hawaiian Caucus has expressed concerns to Gov. Josh Green. Caucus members emphasized the importance of ongoing and meaningful consultation with the Hawaiian community to ensure that their rights and interests are protected in the negotiations.
The Constitution of Hawaii, particularly Articles XI and XII, as well as the laws governing the administration of the public land trust, require the state to formally consult with Native Hawaiians. This commitment is not just symbolic, but a legal and moral obligation that is particularly relevant in the current negotiations.
A key concern of the caucus is the way decisions are made about public and ceded lands. Members emphasize that these decisions should not be influenced by federal timelines or threats of expropriation. Hawaiian lands are a valuable heritage that must be protected, and the state has a responsibility to manage these lands in the interests of the people.
In a joint statement following the meeting with Governor Green, the caucus emphasized that military use of the lands should not dictate the terms of administration. The lands belong to the people of Hawaii, and the state has a duty to protect them. The caucus hopes to have continued dialogue with the governor, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and other relevant agencies to ensure decisions are consistent with the state’s fiduciary duties.
