## Resource

The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands is poised to transform a four-mile stretch of Mauna Kea Access Road after a landmark Supreme Court ruling affirmed its ownership. With the state DOT stepping aside, beneficiaries are unveiling bold proposals — including a toll booth modeled after Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to fund Hawaiian Home Lands housing — sparking debate over sacred land stewardship. Echoing past protests against the Thirty Meter Telescope, leaders like John De Fries of the Maunakea Stewardship Authority praise the community’s vision, calling for a unified working group to ensure the mountain remains central to all future decisions as management transitions from the University of Hawaii to a new state agency.
