OHA's 2017 lawsuit addressing the failures of the state and the university to properly manage the entire mountain laid a strong foundation and next steps whieh include but are not limited to the following: 1) Ensure that Hawaiians assist in all decision making. 2) Continue to seek a Court declaration of the breached and continued breach of fiduciary duties of the parties involved. 3) Insist that the parties fulfill their trust duties to properly manage the ceded lands on Maunakea and act on the prevention of any further violations. 4) Call for an accounting of the condition of our ceded lands on Maunakea, cost of management, and enter into negotiations that would pay restitution to correct the mismanagement. 5) Combine procurement from the restitution with OHA resources to identify or establish a better qualified entity to assume stewardship of Maunakea.
