Although born and raised on Oʻahu, he returned to Lahaina, Maui with his ʻohana to defend and reclaim his family’s land tides and inherent rights. Currently, he is involved in a legal case with the State Land Use Commission disputing land claims by Makila Land Co. to property located in Kauaʻula valley where his ancestral lineage is rooted. Mr. Kapu has spoken out against government and private land developers who have ignored Native Hawaiian gathering rights regarding land, water, and ocean access. As an advocate for perpetuating traditional Native Hawaiian lifestyles and cultural practices, he is the president of Hui a Wa‘a Kaulua Lahaina and ‘Ōlohe Lua for Nā Koa Kau i Ka Meheu O NāKupuna.
