Yamamoto, * Moses Haia* * and Donna Kalama*** PROLOGUE Police Seize 25 in Hilo Protest: Hawaiian Confrontation at Mall. So read the news headline in September, 1993.1 One hundred twenty Native Hawaiians in Hilo protested the State Department of Hawaiian Homelands' lease of 39 acres of trust Homelands to a non-Hawaiian commercial entity for the Prince Kuhio Plaza shopping mall. The protesting group, Aupuni 0 Hawai'i, demanded that the mall be bulldozed and that the land be used for Native Hawaiian farms and housing. Those Native Hawaiians arrested and later prosecuted for trespassing defended on the grounds of their right to occupy Ha- waiian Homelands. Members of Aupuni 0 Hawai'i had earlier been evicted as squatters on nearby Homelands in the Keaukaha area of Hilo. * Professor of Law, William S.
