Hawaiians block government from land during Kawa standoff

The County of Hawaii, in an attempt to survey property in Kawa`a, is stopped by native subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom, who say the 'aina belongs to their families. A standoff ensues between the two governments, and ends peacefully, as the county elects to leave without entering the property. Kawa has been the home to the legendary local Hawaiian figure, Uncle Abel, for years.
