I kēlā kauwela aku nei, ua hai ka Maui City Council i kēlā Hawaii Attorney General aku nei ʻo Margery Bronster e i kūʻē iā Bank of America no kona hoʻokō ʻole ʻana i ke kuleana i ko nā mokupuni poʻe ʻōiwi. Ua ʻāpono ka ʻaha i ka uku ʻana i ke kālā he 200,000 a ʻoi i kā Bronster hui ʻoihana.

Mai kēlā wā aʻe, ua pilikia naʻe ke kalana a me nā loio i ke koho ʻana i ka ʻoi o ke alahele no ka paio ʻana i a ʻo ia kai loaʻa ke kālā he $2.3 kiliona ma ko lākou waiwai a ua hana nui lākou i kāna paipai kālaiʻāina ponoʻī e hūnā ʻia ai ka pilikia. A hala hoʻokahi makahiki aku, ʻaʻohe hihia kānāwai i hoʻouna ʻia a aia wale nō ko ke kalana ʻo Maui mau kūkākūkā ma nā hālāwai luna hoʻokō.

Ma o nā loio a me nā hana hoʻopaipai, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Bank of America, ua hoʻokō lākou i ka hoʻohiki i ko ka paeʻāina mau Kānaka Maoli, akā ʻaʻole naʻe ia i like me kā lākou i hoʻolālā ai. No ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, kuhi ka panakō i kahi leka i hoʻouna ʻia iā lākou mai ke keʻena aupuni ʻo Department of Hawaiian Home Lands ma ka makahiki 2007 e hōʻike ʻia ai kā lākou hoʻokō ʻana i ka hoʻohiki he 15o miliona kālā.

E ʻalo ana ke kalana ʻo Maui i mau pilikia i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kēia hihia, e laʻa ke kū pono ʻana i ke kānāwai.

ʻO nā luna kālaiʻāina i hāpai manaʻo no kēia hukihuki — e laʻa ke kiaʻāina ʻo David Ige a me ke kenekoa U.S. ʻo Brian Schatz — ua ʻōlelo lākou, ʻaʻole lākou ʻike i nā koho he nui i ke koi ʻana iā Bank of America e hoʻoponopono i kā lākou hoʻohiki maoli. ʻŌlelo ʻo Ige, ʻaʻohe pono o ka mokuʻāina e uhai i koi kū i ke kānāwai, no ka mea, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻimi ʻia kahi palapala ʻaelike a i ʻole kahi ʻaelike hoʻonā me ka panakō.

Ua haʻi ka ʻelele no Bank of America ʻo Bill Halldin i kahi ʻōlelo iā Civil Beat, ua hūhewa ke kalana ʻo Maui i ko lākou uhai ʻana i kahi hihia kānāwai.

“He hōʻihi ko mākou i nā pilikia a ke kaiāulu Kanaka Maoli i ʻalo ai, akā he koi kūpono ʻole kēia i kahi hoʻohiki i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ka makahiki 1994,” wahi a Halldin. “Ua hoʻokō ka Panakō i kāna hoʻohiki ʻana a ua hōʻoia ka mokuʻāina i ua hoʻokō ʻana ma ka makahiki 2007.”

Ua kūkākūkā ka Maui County Council i kā lākou mau kaʻakālai kānāwai ma nā hālāwai lehulehu ʻole.

Ua ʻōlelo ka hope luna ʻo Keani Rawlins-Fernandez, e kālele ana ka hihia kānāwai i ko ka panakō hoʻokō ʻole ʻana i kāna pahuhopu no nā Kānaka Maoli e noho ana ma ka ʻāina hoʻokūʻonoʻono a me ka hopena e makehewa ai ko ke kalana loaʻa kālā mai nā ʻauhau pono ʻāina. Ke noʻonoʻo nei hoʻi ke kalana i ko lākou hiki ʻana ke uhai i kahi hihia kānāwai no nā panikū hoʻopunipuni.

“Ua hānau ʻia kēia hoʻohiki e ka hoʻokae ʻili,” wahi a Rawlins-Fernandez. “ʻO wau he Kanaka ʻŌiwi, a ma o ko Bank of America hoʻokō ʻole ʻana i kāna hoʻohiki, ua hōʻeha ua panakō nei i ko kākou lāhui ma ke kāohi ʻana i manawa kūpono no kākou e kūkulu i waiwai hanauna.”

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ua nui kona hopohopo i hoʻohole ʻole ko ke kalana ʻo Maui i ka hihia kānāwai, e hoʻomau ana ʻo Bank of America e hōʻalo i ke kuleana.

“Loaʻa iā lākou ke kālā, loaʻa iā lākou nā loio mana nui, aia mau nō ka wā ma ko lākou ʻaoʻao,” wahi a Rawlins-Fernandez. “Ua keu ko mākou ʻaha a ka nahoa ma ka paio ʻana no ka poʻe a me nā kaiāulu, akā he manaʻolana koʻu no ka hui pū ʻana mai o nā ʻaha ʻē aʻe, no ka mea, ua hoʻonele pū ʻia ko lākou mau kalana i kēlā mau ʻauhau like a ua hoʻonele pū ʻia ko lākou kānaka i kēlā mau manawa kūpono like.”

ʻUa Manaʻo ʻIa, ʻO Mākou He Poʻe Waiwai ʻOle”

ʻO ka hukihuki o ke kalana ʻo Maui a me Bank of America, aia ke kinohi o ua hukihuki nei ma ka māhele mua o ke kekeke 1990 i ko ka panakō noho mana ʻana ma nā mokupuni.

Ma ka makahiki 1994, ua makemake ʻo Bank of America e hoʻākea i kāna kea mākeke ma Ჹɲʻ ma o ke kūʻai ʻana aku iā Liberty Bank i hoʻokahua ʻia ma Honolulu.

Ua a ka Federal Reserve no ka lilo ʻana, akā, ʻo kekahi hui kumuloaʻa ʻole ʻo Nā Poʻe Kōkua a me kahi hui pili ʻo Ჹɲʻ Fair Lending Coalition, ua hoʻouka lāua i kumu hoʻopiʻi e hōʻike ʻia ka hana ʻana a nā panakō i kaʻina hana hoʻokae ʻili e ālai ʻia ai nā Pilipino a me nā Kānaka Maoli i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā molaki home.

No ka loaʻa ʻana o kā ke aupuni pekelala ʻāpono ʻana, , e hoʻolako ana lākou i nā kālā he $150 miliona ma o nā hōʻaiʻē molaki i nā Kānaka Maoli e ʻiʻini ana e kūʻai home ma ka ʻāina he 200,000 ʻeka i mālama ʻia no lākou e ke keʻena mokuʻāina ʻo Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.

Ua hoʻohiki ka panakō e hoʻolako i ke kālā he $100,000 ma o nā papahana hāʻawi kāla e kōkua ʻia ai nā Pilipino ma Ჹɲʻ ma ka ʻimi hale ʻana a ua mālama ʻia ke kālā he $30 miliona i nā ʻaiʻē kūkulu no ka mokupuni ʻo ܲʻ, ʻo ia kahi e kūkulu hou ʻia ma hope o ka luku ʻia ʻana e ka makani pāhili ʻo Iniki ma ka makahiki 1992.

Ma ka hapanui o nā kuanaʻike, ʻaʻole nō i hoʻokō ʻokoʻa ka panakō. Ma ka makahiki 1997, ua kāpae ʻo Bank of America i kāna mau hale panakō ma Ჹɲʻ nei, a hala ka makahiki 1998, ua hōʻaiʻē ʻia nā Kānaka Maoli noho ʻāina hoʻokūʻonoʻono he $3 miliona wale nō. ʻAʻole naʻe i hulikua ʻokoʻa ka panakō i ka paeʻāina.

Ma kēlā makahiki like, ua koi ʻo Bank of America i kā ke aupuni pekelala ʻāpono ʻana i ko lākou hoʻohui ʻana me NationsBank e lilo i panakō me ka ʻoi o ka nui ma ʻAmelika.

Ua ka panakō e hoʻokō i ke kālā he $150 miliona, a ua kipa mai nā luna panakō i nei paeʻāina e hui pū me Nā Poʻe Kōkua a me nā Kānaka Maoli ʻē aʻe i hoʻokahu ʻia ma ka hale aliʻi ʻo ʻIolani e hōʻike ʻia ai ke kūpaʻa o ka manaʻo.

Aia ʻo Kehaulani Filimoeatu ma kekahi o nā hālāwai, a ʻo ia kekahi mea hoʻokumu no Nā Poʻe Kōkua. No kahi mau manawa, ua nui kona manaʻolana i ko Bank of America hoʻokō ʻana i kā lākou hoʻohiki.

“No nā Kānaka Maoli ma Ჹɲʻ, ua manaʻo ʻia mākou he poʻe waiwai ʻole a nui ko lākou hopohopo iā mākou,” wahi a Filimoeatu.

ʻO Kehaulani Filimoeatu kekahi mea hoʻokumu no Nā Poʻe Kōkua, ʻo ia kekahi hui kumuloaʻa ʻole e hōʻeu iā Bank of America e hoʻolako i ke kālā he $150 miliona no nā hōʻaiʻē home. Courtesy: Bryan Berkowitz

Ua ʻāʻumeʻume nā Kānaka Maoli no nā hanauna he nui e kū like — ma nā wahi kālaiʻāina a me nā hoʻokele waiwai — me nā mea i hoʻokolonaio i ka paeʻāina, wahi āna. Na ka nele ʻana i ka hōʻaiʻē ʻole e hoʻomāhuahua aku i nā pilikia o ke kū like ʻole ʻana, keu hoʻi ka ʻoi aʻe o ka nui helu o ka ʻilihune ʻana ma mua o ko nā lāhui ʻē aʻe ma ka mokuʻāina.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ua hōʻike kā Bank of America hoʻohiki i manawa kūpono e hoʻolohi aku i kēia pōʻaiapuni maikaʻi ʻole ma o ke kau ʻia ʻana o ke kālā i nā lima Kanaka Maoli e kūʻai aku ana i ko lākou mau home ponoʻī.

Ma ka makahiki 2003, ua hoʻomaka ʻo DHHL e kūkākūkā me Bank of America i kahi ʻaelike kūʻokoʻa e hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻēmi i ke koena o ka hoʻohiki he $150 miliona ma o nā hana ʻē aʻe, e laʻa ka hōʻaiʻē ʻana i nā hui kūkulu hale.

A hala aku nā makahiki he ʻehā, ua hoʻouna aku ka hope luna no DHHL ʻo Ben Anderson me ka ʻōlelo ʻana, ua hoʻokō ʻia ka hoʻohiki wahi a kāna nānā hou ʻana i kahi pakuhi makaʻaha he ʻelua ʻaoʻao a nā luna panakō i hoʻouna aku ai i ke keʻena, a ʻo ia kai hōʻike i nā moʻo hōʻaiʻē, nā hōʻaiʻē kūkulu, a me nā palapala hāʻawina kālā a lākou i hoʻolako aku ai ma o nā makahiki.

“Ua hōʻike ʻia nō paha ka hoʻokō pono ʻana a BoA wahi a kēia ʻōlelo hōʻoia,” wahi a Henderson.

No Bank of America, ua koʻikoʻi loa ka leka no ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka hoʻokō hoʻohiki ʻana, akā no kekahi mau Kānaka Maoli, ua hōʻike leʻa ʻia nō ke kūkākūkā hūnā ʻana a ke kiaʻāina ʻo Linda Lingle a me kāna hui hoʻolawelawe, e like me ʻo Bumpy Kanahele i kākau aku ai ma kahi ma ka Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Ma ka makahiki 2012, ua ʻōlelo ka Hawaiian Homes Commission, ʻo ia ka mea e nānā ʻokoʻa ma luna o DHHL, ua ʻāpono ʻo Henderson iā Bank of America me ka ʻole o ka ʻāpono ʻana a ke kōmikina.

ʻĀnō, ʻōlelo kahi ʻelele no DHHL, ma waho aʻe o nā leka, ʻaʻole loaʻa i ke keʻena kahi palapala e hōʻoia ʻia ai nā ʻaelike i kākau ʻia a i ʻole nā mea hoʻomanaʻo o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana me Bank of America me ka wehewehe pono ʻana i ke ʻano kikoʻī e hoʻokō ʻia ai ka hoʻokō, a i ʻole kekahi mau palapala e hōʻoia ʻia ai nā helu i loaʻa ma ua pakahi makaʻaha nei.

ʻO Kehaulani Filimoeʻatu, ʻo ia ka lua mai ka ʻaoʻao hema, a ʻo Catherine Bessant, ʻo ia ke kolu mai ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau, ua hui pū lāua ma Ჹɲʻ ma ka makahiki 1998 ma ko Bank of America hōʻoia hou ʻana i ka hoʻohiki he $150 miliona i nā Kānaka Maoli. 

“Na wai lā e kū me ka ʻoluʻolu ke hana ʻia pēlā?” wahi a Brandon Makaawaawa, ʻo ia ka pelekikena ʻānō no Nā Poʻe Kōkua. “ʻO kēlā he $150 miliona kālā me ka ʻole o kahi likiki. Inā hoʻopihapiha a hoʻouna aku kahi kanaka i nā palapala ʻauhau i kēia wā, e ʻoi aʻe ana ka nui o nā palapala na ua kanaka nei”

“Ua kānalua ʻo Makaawawa, ʻo Rawlins-Fernandez, a me kekahi mau kānaka ʻē aʻe i ke kuleana o DHHL ma ke kūkākūkā ʻana me Bank of America, ʻoiai ua hoʻohiki ʻo Bank of America i ke keʻena pekelala, ʻaʻole i hoʻohiki pololei ʻia ke keʻena mokuʻāina.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Halldin, ʻaʻole e lawe mai ana ʻo Bank of America i nā palapala ʻē aʻe ma waho o ka pakuhi makaʻaha.

Nā Makahiki Me Ka Hukikuhi ʻAna

Ma ka makahiki 2018, ua hoʻouna aku ʻo Ige i kahi leka iā Catherine Bessant, ʻo ia kahi luna hoʻokō kūlana kiʻekiʻe loa, a ua wehewehe ʻia ʻo ia e kekahi ma ka makakina ʻo American Banker ʻo “.”

Ua haʻi aku ʻo Ige iā Bessant, ua “lawehala” ʻo Bank of America i kona hoʻokō ʻana i kāna hoʻohiki i nā Kānaka Maoli, a ʻo ia kēia ka wā kūpono e hoʻi hou mai ai lākou i ka paeʻāina e kūkākūkā i “ʻaelike kaulike hope loa.” A ʻaʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua huliāmahi kahi manaʻo ma o ka mokuʻāina iā Bank of America e hoʻoponopono.

ʻO ka Maui County Council ka mua e ʻāpono i kahi ʻōlelo hoʻoholo e kākoʻo ʻia ai kā Ige hana. Ma o ka makahiki aʻe o ia wā, ua hahai like ko Honolulu, ܲʻ, a me ko Ჹɲʻ ʻaha kalana ma ka ʻaha Kenekoa no Ჹɲʻ.

Ua hāpai manaʻo kā ʻo ko Ჹɲʻ kenekoa ʻAmelika ʻo Brian Schatz i kona nīnau ʻia ʻana e Filimoeatu ma kahi hālāwai kaiāulu ma Maui.

“Ua wahaheʻe lākou,” wahi āna. “ʻAʻole lākou i hana pēlā.”

Ma ka manawa like, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Bank of America i kā lākou paipai kālaiʻāina ponoʻī e kūʻē i kēia kuanaʻike e kuhi ʻia ai lākou he poʻe i hulikua i ka hoʻohiki ʻana i nā Kānaka Maoli.

Ma ka makahiki 2019, ua hai lākou iā Ivan Lui-Kwan, he loio Kanaka Maoli kaulana, no ka hana a me . Hōʻike nā palapala molala i kā ka panakō uku ʻana iā Lui-Kwan he $75,000 kālā, a no ka hoʻohuli manaʻo i ke kiaʻāina kekahi māhele nui o ua kālā nei.

Ma luna aʻe o ka hana hoʻopaipai, ua hoʻouna aku ʻo Bank of America i kahi hihia kānāwai i kūʻē iā ke kalana ʻo Maui ma ka makahiki 2020, a ua hana ʻia kēia i mau hola aku nei o ko ka ʻaha hoʻāpono ʻana i kā lākou ʻōlelo hoʻoholo e hoʻomau i ka palapala hoʻopiʻi e kūʻē i ka ʻoihana. Akā, e ka U.S. District Court Judge ʻo J. Michael Seabright me ka ʻōlelo ʻana penei, he lele ʻē ka ʻaʻa ʻana, no ka mea, ʻaʻole i hoʻouna ʻē ʻia aku kā ke kalana ʻo Maui hihia kānāwai.

Ua hōʻole ʻo Ige i mau noi nīnauele no kēia moʻolelo, akā ua wehewehe pālua kāna keʻena ma o nā ʻōlelo hoʻolaha, ʻaʻole i mau ko ke kiaʻāina manaʻo i ka hiki ʻana i ka mokuʻāina ke koi aku i ʻaelike iā Bank of America.

“Ua paʻa ko ke kiaʻāina kūlana ma hope o ke aʻoaʻo ʻia ʻana a ka Department of the Attorney General, ʻo ia kai nānā hou i ka ʻikepili ma nā palapala ʻaiʻē a me nā papaphana i hiki ke nānā ʻia ma kēia wā ʻānō,” wahi a ke keʻena. “ʻOiai ua hala nā makahiki he iwakālua a ʻoi, ʻaʻohe kaukaʻi oneʻi i ka ʻōʻili ʻana mai o ka ʻikepili hou. Akā, inā e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ana kahi ʻikepili hou, e nānā hou aku ana ka Mokuʻāina i ua ʻikepili nei i ke ʻano e hoʻololi ʻia ai ko mākou kuanaʻike.”

A laila, ua paipai ka ʻōlelo hoʻolaha i nā hui ʻē aʻe i hoʻopilikia ʻia e Bank of America e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia me ka Federal Reserve a me BOA.”

ʻO William Aila, ʻo ia ke alakaʻi no DHHL, manaʻo ʻo ia, ua hoʻokō nō ʻo Bank of America i kāna hoʻohiki wahi a ka leka a Henderson.

“ʻO Ben Henderson, he kāne kū hanohano ʻo ia,” wahi a Aila. “ʻIke nō kēia, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e hoʻouna aku i kēlā leka inā manaʻo ʻo ia, he hana kūpono ʻole nō paha kāna ma kona kūlana.”

Hoihoi naʻe ʻo Alia e ʻimi i mau manawa kūpono hou no nā mea hōʻaiʻē e hoʻolako i nā hōʻaiʻē kūkulu a me nā mea home i nā Kānaka Maoli i hoʻokahu ʻia. Inā koho ʻo Bank of America i ka hana ʻana pēlā, wahi āna, he hana lehiwa ana nō ia.

“Ma kahi o ko mākou hoʻohihia ʻana iā mākou iho i kahi mea pohihihi a kala loa, ke koho aku nei mākou e holomua,” wahi a Aila. “ʻO koʻu kūlana penei, inā ʻaʻole hoihoi ʻo Bank of America e hoʻi mai i Ჹɲʻ no ka hōʻaiʻē hou ʻana, e hana ana nō mākou me lākou.”

Ua hāpai ʻo Bank of America, ʻaʻole maʻalahi ke komo ʻana i ka mākeke no nā hōʻaiʻē home Kanaka Maoli.

Ua ʻōlelo ka panakō, ua paʻakikī ka hoʻokūkū ʻana me nā mea hōʻaiʻē ʻē aʻe, e laʻa ʻo Bank of Ჹɲʻ a me First Hawaiian Bank.

Aia hoʻi kekahi nele ʻana i mau ʻāina ʻole i nā laweʻaiʻē ma muli o ko DHHL ʻāʻumeʻume ʻana e kūkulu i nā home hoʻokūʻonoʻono e kō ai ke koina. Ma ka makahiki 1998, wahi a ka panakō, e kakali ana nā Kānaka Maoli i hoʻokahu ʻia he 16,000 a ʻoi i nā ʻāina noho home. Ma ka makahiki 2018, ua māhuahua aʻe ka nui ma ka papa inoa i nā kānaka he 23,000 a ʻoi.

ʻAʻole nui ke kanaaho ke peki hope kahi panakō mai kahi hoʻohiki kaiāulu, wahi a Linda Jun, ʻo ia kahi loio kulekele kūlana kiʻekiʻe no

ʻO ka hana maʻamau, hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka hoʻohiki ʻana ma loko o ke kaʻina hana no nā hoʻohui panakō a me ka lilo pono ʻana, wahi āna, akā ʻaʻole nui ka nānā ʻokoʻa ʻana ma hope aku. Ma kēlā manawa, aia ka paio ʻana i ke kaiāulu.

“ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole nō kēia kahi māhele kūhelu o ke kaʻina hana, a ʻo nā kānaka hoʻoponopono i hiki ke hōʻoi i kā lākou hana, ʻaʻole lākou e hana nei pēlā,” wahi a Jun. “No laila, na ka lehulehu e hōʻoiaʻio i ka mea e hoʻohiki ʻia.”

ʻO Nick Weiner, ʻo ia kahi kanaka no , ua kuhi ʻo ia i ka hana hoʻokamani ʻana a Bank of America ma o ko lākou kūʻē mau ʻana i nā kūkākūkā hou e pli ana i ka hoʻohiki he $150 miliona kālā ma ka wā e kālele ʻia ai ke kaulike a me ke kūlike lāhui ma ka mua o nā kūkākūkā lehulehu.

Ua mōakāka leʻa ia, loaʻa iā Bank of America ke kālā, wahi āna me ke kuhi ʻana i kā lākou ʻōlelo hoʻolaha no ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka uku hana liʻiliʻi loa i kā lākou mau limahana i $25 kālā no kēlā me kēia hola a me ka hoʻopukapuka ʻana i nā kālā he $1 biliona a ʻoi no ke kūlike lāhui a me nā manawa hoʻokele waiwai, keu hoʻi ma nā kaiāulu Pāʻele, nā Hesapanika, a me nā ʻĀkia.

“E ʻākeʻakeʻa aku ana lākou no nā kekeke he nui,” wahi a Weiner. “ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu ke kumu o ko lākou hoʻi ʻole ʻana no ka hoʻoponopono ika ʻana e kō ai ka hoʻohiki.”

E koi ʻia ana nō paha ka hana a ka ʻAhaʻōlelo lāhui, wahi a Schatz. Ua ʻōlelo kēia, ʻaʻole i ʻimi kāna keʻena i haʻina moākāka e hoʻomaka hou ʻia ai nā kūkākūkā me Bank of America, keu hoʻi ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana iā lākou no ka hulikua ʻana i kā lākou hoʻohiki maoli ponoʻī.
