Is this the same guy ?
"Dope pushers played a political role as well. Convicted drug dealer Ralph Palikapu Dedman has two felonies among the four convictions on his rap sheet. Dedman led the war against clean geothermal electricity in Puna in the 1980s and 1990s resulting in the 25,856 acre Wao Kele O Puna site being transferred in 2007 to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs with OHA paying out only $350,000 from its own coffers. Wao Kele, which backs up to Hawaiian Acres, is still a major center for illicit marijuana grow ops."
