inhabitants from their ancestral lands, and that also that these titles, they say they're unbroken, straight to the county. These are broken and clouded titles. We're also showing that inside of the title search, the actual original documents, that they show lease on top of the documents. These are leases of government ahupua `a. There's also Palapala Sila Nui, held in perpetuity for undivided interest that is not being considered. And also the probate of Naukana has not been mentioned once in any response letter from the Corporate Counsel. So under probate law, we have the probate law that for furtherance of justice and regular execution of the law, that we're asking that the probate of Naukana 463 be considered, which does have everything to do with the Hamakua land titles, and to pay to pay Title Guaranty to show the chain of transfer since 1848 is in itself a crime. There's too many discrepancies, no signatures, absence of stamps that are commanded under kingdom law, and that you may not be aware of it, but in the federal court, the federal judge was asked, what is the law of the land. The law of the land is Hawaiian Kingdom law. So that in this reference, those properties under Papa Sila Nui, Mahele, all of those titles are binding and still standing, and that even if in Title Guaranty's title search that they're saying one person sold that, that person cannot sell out the undivided interest of the unborn. That is not legal according to kingdom law. The land is held in perpetuity. The leases are 999 years. So technically, also, we are looking at if you are in possession of stolen property, what is the best thing to do in this situation? And we're suggesting as a solution is to make sure to find a second opinion. Do not rely on Title Guaranty, because as I mentioned they are in a conflict of interest over this issue. And that we're asking that the Ethics Board look at the fact that it is unethical to sell stolen property, and it is unethical for the mayor or anybody on Resolution 216 who voted to sell the property. It is unethical to fraudulently convey this property, even under the apology bill 103 -I50, which refers to this very property, stolen property of Queen Lili `uokalani and the Hawaiian Kingdom. CHAIR: Ms. Stephens? STEPHENS: Yes. CHAIR: Sorry to interrupt you. We have a whole stack of people who want to provide statements on the agenda items STEPHENS: - -Okay CHAIR: - -and we do have your petition on our agenda, at which time we'd be happy to get more information from you if needed STEPHENS: - -Okay, thank you. CHAIR: If you can just wrap it up, and then we can provide the others a chance. STEPHENS: Okay. And then one last thing that I should comment on. I wanted to say, in support of Anne Marsh and the preservation of the Hamakua Forest Reserve, and that I have volunteered under county open space, and so that why should we not preserve this Hamakua Forest Reserve under the issue of open space. And that one last comment is that also, the county is bound to the conditions of statehood and the Statehood Admission 0
