Ahupua’a
The concept of private property was unknown to ancient Hawaiians, but they did follow a complex system of land division. All land was controlled ultimately by the highest chief or king who held it in trust for the whole population. Who supervised these lands was designated by the king based on rank and standing. A whole island, or mokupuni, was divided in smaller parts, down to a basic unit belonging to a single family. read more…


Kaʻehu is a community based organization with the purpose to
- (1) Promote the conservation, restoration and sustainable management of the land area and natural resources at Ka’ehu Bay
- (2) Utilize the land and natural resources, in conjunction with other agencies, to promote, preserve and perpetuate traditional Hawaiian cultural activities. Our mission statement is to restore the land and perpetuate traditional Hawaiian culture using community-based, inclusive, family oriented approach.
Over the past 30 years, board members of Kaʻehu and Kauahea Inc., along with the Trust for Public Lands, have collected data and input from the community regarding the area. The community input will help guide the planning and development process of this pristine area.
