Moses Haia: Lawyer fights for native rights


As one of its "10 Who Made A Difference" in 2007, Star-Bulletin today features Moses Kalei Nahonoapiilani Haia III, staff attorney for the Native Hawaiian Legal Corp., "a force to contend with when historic or cultural properties come into question in Hawaii."
He has represented farmers from Na Moku Aupuni o Ko'olau in their battle for a larger share of water diverted from Alexander & Baldwin's East Maui Irrigation Co. on Maui.

Haia has also represented recognized cultural descendants of iwi, or native Hawaiian remains, found at the site of the Wal-Mart store on Keeaumoku Street as well as General Growth's $150 million Ward Village Shops project in Kakaako -- site of what was to have been Whole Foods Market's first Hawaii store.
