Kuleana Lands Auction on Kaua’i
On March 22, 2019 four kuleana land parcels were auctioned off by court order despite living heirs with interests. The auction took place on the steps of the Līhu’e courthouse at noon. The parcels are located within the Mark Zuckerberg 700 acre estate in Pila’a on the island of Kaua’i. Ka Lāhui Hawai’i Political Action Committee (KPAC) went to support the families who were being disenfranchised by the billionaire interests and his partner in this complex Kuleana lands case.
