"Kanaka Hales" Project

On April 18th, 2023, I was scheduled to make a presentation to the Department of Hawaiian Homelands(DHHL) Commission, while they were on Molokai, to request a lease of 0.5-acres in Hilo near Target 

for the manufacturing of our tiny house 'wheeled' products to help 

my company grow and allow us to be able to purchase land 

and build our office/retail facility campus in the 

District of Ka'u to create jobs and industry. 

As I waited my turn, I found myself captivated by the stories 

seeking help from the DHHL Commission to fulfilled promises for Hawaiian residents on the waiting list to receive land and build a home for their families. I also started to get the impression that the residents were missing some of the truths as to how to actually acquire the land and all that it entails.

And sadly, most told of their loved ones being on the DHHL list for 

20-years or more with nothing to show but a new generation asking for help. With each new family member continuing what seemed to be a family legacy of asking when it would be their turn to receive land, 

it was my observation that the very organization put in place 

to help them thrive seemed to be burnt-out and at a loss, 

oddly enough, as to how to help.
Not confident that my own company presentation was met with any guarantees for success based on the reaction of the Commissioners, the plight of the community testifying resonated with me. 

If anything, I could at least find a way to help.
So, the very next day I turned to the "Village of FB in Hawaii" and posed some questions that lead me to develop the following concept for ALL to provide review, wisdom and solutions/comments to create a PLAN to move forward starting January 2024.

#1: SEEK LAND TO SUBDIVIDE INTO 0.5-ACRE PARCELS

PATH TO LAND ACQUISITION: 

 Stargazer Industries will acquire land, starting on Hawaii island, 

and through the State & County Departments create subdivisions of preferably 0.5-acre FEE SIMPLE land. 

These, FIRST of its kind off-grid, solar electric, wind and hybrid catchment subdivision, would include a central park with a water-catchment feature that could irrigate the landscape, water storage tanks, solar & wind powered street lamps, rezoned half-acre lots with self-contained, post & pier block tiny house products available for the buyer’s choice. A connection to county water would be available as a

back-up to each of the 1,040-gallon roof water catchment and  filtration tanks incorporated into each of the “Tiny Dwellings” homes that range in size from 170 up to 275-square feet, to the “Tiny Estates” with 2-4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths at 1,000-square feet. 

This Fee Simple Land will be given FREELY for $1.00 sale 

to Hawaiian families that complete our "Profile Packet" and are approved by our "Village Committee" of Native Hawaiian Kupuna(elders), Kumu(teachers) and Hau Mana(students) from across the State. NO Percentages. NO DNA.

#2: AN ALL-INCLUSIVE, OFF-GRID HOME 

THAT FITS ON ANY TERRAIN "GENTLY"

PATH TO OUR TINY HOUSE PRODUCTS: Stargazer Industries Inc. will place either their 8.5-ft. wide by 20-ft. post & pier block, 'Tiny Dwellings' which are 170-275sq.ft with 9-ft. ceilings OR 'Tiny Estates' that are only 1,000-sq.ft., 2-4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom models which would allow for more land to be used on each 0.5-acre parcel for food gardens 

to provide sustainable options for families. 

Stargazer Industries Inc. also offers permitted detached 1-2 bed units, as well as a 'Deck Island' that is 16-ft. by 20-ft. and is a required breeze between the Main House and the bedroom.

#4: MAKE SURE 'ANCESTRAL' HAWAIIANS 

QUALIFY TO RECEIVE THE BENEFITS OF THIS PROJECT

HISTORICAL:  The Great Māhele (land division) came into effect on March 7, 1848. It allocated one-third of the land to the mōʻī (monarch), known as Hawaiian crown lands. Another third was allocated among the aliʻi and konohiki (chiefs and managers of each ahupuaʻa (traditional land division running from the coast to the mountaintop). The remaining one-third was given to the makaʻāinana (common people). The law required land claims to be filed within two years under the Kuleana Act of 1850. Many Hawaiians made no claim. Most of the land was sold by the government of the Republic to settlers from the continental US or auctioned to the Big Five corporations. This resulted in the state owning 32% of the land, while another 4.8% became Hawaiian Homelands.*

PATH TO LAND OWNERSHIP:  NO percentages. NO DNA.

Any home purchased under the “Kanaka Hales Project”, the principle buyer(s) must complete a “Profile Packet” TO BE MAILED WITH A HAWAII U.S. POST MARKED DATE, THEN TIME STAMPED UPON RECEIPT BY Stargazer Industries Inc. 

It will entail providing documentation of Native Hawaiian lineage through copies of public records with official stamps from the State or County of Hawaii or documentation notarized by a certified notary or historian/official of the State of Hawaii as to maintaining at least ONE Hawaii born relative (mother or father) for each generation tracing back to the year 1800 that resulted in the birth of the applicant; they must prove they have performed consistently a Native Hawaiian cultural practice, and are continuing the practice, as well as passing it onto their immediate family members, i.e. teaching Hawaiian language, cultural practices, food/cultivation, artwork, etc. 

Other tasks will be required including references from peers stating consistency of said Hawaiian practices. 

Upon approval by our "Village Committee" of Native Hawaiian Kupuna(elders), Kumu(teachers) and Hau Mana(students) from across the State, the ‘Fee Simple’ land beneath the home will be given from Stargazer Industries to the Buyer for $1.00 U.S. Dollar. 

70% of each subdivision will be saved for the "Kanaka Hales" project. Any future sales or legal actions, including title transfer involving the property, will be subject to only a 10% profit for the Seller over the original purchase price sold at the initial purchase of the land, in perpetuity. The New Land Buyer will be required to call Stargazer Industries, “Kanaka Hales Project” for approval of their Hawaiian qualifications or the land will be relinquished by the current owner

without issue and sold at the discretion of Stargazer Industries Inc. Any deterrence from this process will be subject to legal action. 

If the transfer is to an Heir, the documentation of the family will be taken into consideration, new documents

excepted from the Heir, and they will be required to prove retention and current practice of the Hawaiian traits passed down from the previous owner which they in turn are passing down to their Heirs. 

DNA and percentages used by other sources will not carry weight in the decisions made in granting the land.
