“One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen can change the world.” – Malala Yousafzai “None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody — a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony, or a few nuns — bent down and helped us pick up our boots.” – Thurgood Marshall “Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.” – Minor Myers

1. MARK ZUCKERBERG & PRISCILLA CHAN
“Becoming a new parent has driven Priscilla Chan to work even harder to improve the world her daughter
will grow up in, the wife of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said in an exclusive interview with
Savannah Guthrie, just one day after the couple announced a $3 billion investment to prevent, cure and
manage all diseases.”
“You just love that little being so much, more than you ever thought was possible.
And you have so many hopes and dreams for that child,” Chan told Savannah,
explaining why she and her husband will ultimately give away 99 percent of their
wealth. “And that drives me to want to work harder and invest now to make sure that
the future is where it needs to be for all of our children.”
“There are really dark moments where you think you're alone. And when we realized
that we weren't and that there were other people traveling along the same road with
you,” she said. “I think having that, knowing that you're not alone, was incredibly
important for us. And we wanted others to know that they weren't alone, either.”

Facebook's Zuckerberg sues to gain 'quiet title' to Kauai lands

“Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who bought 700 acres of land on the North Shore of Kauai in 2014,
has filed several lawsuits in Hawaii's state Circuit Court to force fractional owners of several dozen small
parcels of land, local Hawaii families who have had rights to the properties in some cases for more than
100 years, to sell their land within his holdings.
“The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports three Zuckerberg entities, Pilaa International LLC, Northshore
Kalo LLC and High Flyer LLC, filed eight “quiet title” lawsuits in 5th Circuit Court on Kauai on Dec. 30
that seek to identify all owners of the properties and to compensate them for their shares.
“The newspaper reports that Zuckerberg, who reportedly plans to build a secluded family compound on
the land, purchased interests from several part owners of the kuelana lands — ownership of small lots
that have passed down through generations since the Hawaiian monarchy began allowing private
ownership of land in 1850 — in order to have the right to establish title and to force a sale under Hawaii’s
quiet title law. The newspaper reports that many of the part-owners, some who own less than one one-
hundredth of 1 percent of a parcel, are unaware of their families’ claim to the land.
“The parties named in the lawsuits have 20 days to respond after being served a copy of the
.”complaint, or forfeit having a say in the proceeding, the newspaper reports

2. NOTES, SUPPLIED:
 The Pacific Business and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser are encouraged to inquire of
Counsel for Mr. Zuckerberg whether personal service of the Complaint is required in this
proceeding for real estate and whether an enlargement of time for service of the Complaint
is prudent in that persons with legal entitlement “are unaware of their families’ claim to the
land” and/or may have moved outside of the State of Hawaii, i.e. whether publication
and/or alternate for form of legal notice as provided by Hawaii Revised Statutes and Hawaii
Rules of Civil Procedure is mandated.
 Native Hawaiians who move outside the State of Hawaii and reside elsewhere do not lose
their identity or status.
 Hawaii Revised Statutes §18-235-1.01 defines a resident of Hawaii as every individual
domiciled in Hawaii.
 Hawaii Revised Statutes §18-235-1.04 provides that domicile acquired by birth continues
until replaced.
 Hawaii Revised Statutes §18-235-1.05 provides domicile by choice occurs when an
individual chooses to replace a former domicile.

TESTIMONY ON
HR 5 - Kuleana Lands
HR 16 and HR 23 / HCR 40 - Recognizing Hawaiian Nationals
COMMITTEE ON OCEAN, MARINE RESOURCES & HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Representative Faye P. Hanohano, Chair, Representative Ty J.K. Cullen, Vice Chair, Representative
Denny Coffman, Representative Chris Lee, Representative Cindy Evans, Representative Nicole E.
Lowen, Representative Derek S.K. Kawakami, Representative Richard Lee Fale,
COMMITTEE ON OCEAN, MARINE RESOURCES & HAWAIIAN ISLANDS HEARING
DATE: Wednesday, February 13, 2013
TIME: 10:50 a.m.
PLACE: Conference Room 325, State Capitol
Dear Chairwoman Hanohano, Vice Chairman Cullen, Representative Coffman, Representative Lee,
Representative Evans, Representative Lowen, Representative Kawakami, Representative Fale,
I support HR 5 - Recognizing Kuleana Lands

3. I oppose HR 23/HCR 40
HR 5
"Every county in Hawaii has adopted an ordinance providing for a permanent reduction in the
property tax rate for current owners who are lineal decedents of the original owners."
Hawaii Community Stewardship Network, "Kuleana Property Tax Exemption: Can your family
benefit?" A brief look at the application process. [Honolulu, Hawaii] Print. <www.hcsnetwork.org>
1. Establishment of lineal ties to the original awardee in the Land Commission Award or Royal
Patent Grant is difficult. The Counties can do more. Kauai has translated or subscribed documents of
the Great Mahele. Please reference: <www.ulukau.org>
2. Native Hawaiians who move outside the State of Hawaii and reside elsewhere do not lose their
identity or status.
Hawaii Revised Statutes §18-235-1.01 defines a resident of Hawaii as every individual domiciled
in Hawaii.
Hawaii Revised Statutes §18-235-1.04 provides that domicile acquired by birth continues until
replaced.
Hawaii Revised Statutes §18-235-1.05 provides domicile by choice occurs when an individual
chooses to replace a former domicile.
HR 16 and HR23/HCR 40
The use of the term "Hawaiian Nationals" is not needed as the foregoing discussion on the law on
domicile is provided for by Hawaii Revised Statutes. Moreover, the term "Hawaiian Nationals" is
inconsistent with law as applicable to Native Hawaiians and as such create ambiguity and
vagueness in current law.
Many believe that the Kingdom of Hawaii Constitution of 1887 granted by King Kalakaua on July
6, 1887 completely abrogated and relinquished the rights of the Monarchy and the Native
Hawaiian people to the damage of the Kingdom of Hawaii Constitution of 1864 granted by King
Kamehameha V on A.D. 1864. With due respect I disagree with this view and interpretation.
Many of the Articles, their substantive language, are virtually identical in the Hawaiian Kingdom
Constitution of 1864 and the Hawaiian Kingdom Constitution of 1887.

4. One area of importance is on Treaties and Free Trade - Articles 29, 30, and 31. Both require
approval of a Legislative body, acknowledgment by the Ministers and approval by the King.
The Hawaiian Kingdom Constitution of 1887 defines the Executive power as belonging to the
King and his cabinet, all laws passed by the legislature require the approval and signature by the
King. The only exception is Article 48 that the Legislature may override the King's disapproval.
There is no provision for absence of the King.
Hawaii underwent a period of transition: The Monarchy, annexation, territory, and statehood.
The present Hawaii State Constitution contains the substantive provisions of The Kingdom of
Hawaii Constitution of 1864 granted by King Kamehameha V and the Hawaiian Kingdom
Constitution of 1887 granted by King Kalakaua.
I believe in sincerest that my interpretation is in conformance and accord with the Hawaii State
Constitution and the governmental process for the State of Hawaii. The passage of Senate Bill 2783
that was signed into law as Act 015 by Governor Neil Abercrombie is proof certainty.
In conclusion,
1. HR 5 should receive support of the Committee on Finance to make the translation of documents
of the Great Mahele available to all.
2. I urge the Committee to reconsider the use of "Native Hawaiian Nationals."
3. I urge the Committee to collaborate with the Committee on Finance to provide a means to
determine the Treaties most relevant and applicable to Hawaii today. Therein you will discover
that King Kamehameha V and King Kalakaua, despite what others focus on human failings, where
men of great measure and vision. I do believe the concept of Free Trade will remove Hawaii from
the protectionism of the Jones Act. If viewed today, The Cargo Preference Act (Public Law §3-
644) is a mirrored by the Free Trade Treaties.
I thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts with you.
Aloha,
Clifton M. Hasegawa
