Chin Chuck Genjiro Camp

Chin Chuck Genjiro Camp, named after the head of the camp Genjiro Shimabukuro, had 21 houses, a club house, pool hall, plus gardens and pig pens at the back of the camp. The next crossroad, now known as Kanna Road, crossed the Ka`ahakini Stream and lead to Kaiwiki Homesteads.

For the Hakalau Kuleana, our responsibility is to care for the land, the people, and the culture. We are guided by cultural values of YESTERDAY: Engage in collective effort. Look out for each other. Honor hard work. Show respect for those who came before us. Aloha and Mālama `Aina. In 2021, Akiko Masuda added two more values to the list: Consistently show up. Whatever has to be done, jump in and do it!
