Standoff In Waipahu: Hawaiian Rights ‘Army’ Has Illegally Occupied A Private Pot Farm….The owners of the 5-acre site intended to grow medical marijuana have a court order to remove the activists who are refusing to leave.
A small parcel of land in central Oahu is the site of another standoff between a group claiming ownership of the land based on Native Hawaiian ancestral rights, and a company holding the modern land title.
The unidentified group took over a 5-acre lot in an Oahu agricultural subdivision in September, and proclaimed themselves the rightful owners by “heirdom.”
They proceeded to lock out the property’s registered owner along with a company that was leasing the land, confiscating equipment, crops and business records, and blocking attempts by the landowner and lessee to reenter or inspect the property.
