who owns Mauna Kea Access Road?

"That road belongs to the beneficiaries of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act," Kahele said.

This Hawaiian Homes Commission Act? Which stated in 1920:

Section 101, "Purpose", of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act explains the aims of the Hawaiian Homelands program as follows:
(2)Placing native Hawaiians on the lands set aside under this Act in a prompt and efficient manner and assuring long-term tenancy to beneficiaries of this Act and their successors;

If we want to play the dancing Kai Kahele game of agencies not following through with stated regulations, DHHL could be found in breach of their charter, and fast tracked to be scraped or perhaps "decommissioned" based on Line (2)[b] alone. And there are plenty of other stipulations in the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act that have not been followed.

Then after decommissioning, DHHL land goes back to the state, and Mauna Kea Access Road is magically sited on state land. Takes two to tango.
