A Hawai‘i circuit court has approved an order of foreclosure against developer Black Sand Beach, LLC, after the company defaulted on a $3.4 million mortgage for land it planned to develop into “Punalu’u Village.” The 147-acre property is now headed for public auction, pausing plans for the sprawling luxury development that faced sustained public opposition.

The area is home to anchialine ponds, limu beds, freshwater springs, and numerous Native Hawaiian cultural sites, including iwi kūpuna and heiau, making it both an ecological treasure and a sacred landscape. The land is in the coastal zone management area where development is legally regulated to protect the coastal environment, public access, and community interests.

This month, students from the University of California Berkeley School of Law spent their spring break at NHLC doing legal work for the lāhui and participating in Hawaiian cultural activities. The UC Berkeley School of Law has developed a valued partnership with NHLC, sending future lawyers to learn and contribute each spring since 2021.

NHLC hosts interns, externs, and volunteers in undergraduate and graduate school throughout the year as part of the Huʻeaʻo Student Experiential Learning program. This program is dedicated to creating an ʻauwai of indigenous rights advocates.
