Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate history of land ownership in the Hawaiian Kingdom, offering a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of land titles from ancient times to the mid-19th century. The author meticulously traces the transformation of the traditional Hawaiian land system, which bore striking similarities to European feudalism, into a more structured and defined system of ownership. The narrative delves into the complexities of the ancient Hawaiian land division, where districts (moku) were subdivided into smaller units (ahupua'a) and further into even smaller parcels (ili). The author sheds light on the intricate relationships between the King, chiefs, and commoners in the context of land ownership, highlighting the gradual shift from a communal system to individual ownership. The book explores the pivotal role of the Land Commission in resolving land disputes and establishing a framework for land titles, detailing the processes of awarding lands, issuing patents, and defining boundaries. The author also delves into the significance of the 'Mahele', the Great Division of lands, which marked a turning point in Hawaiian land ownership history. This insightful exploration of Hawaiian land titles provides a deeper understanding of the historical, social, and political factors that shaped land ownership in the Hawaiian Kingdom. The book's insights into the evolution of land tenure offer valuable perspectives on the complexities of property rights and the ongoing legacy of the Hawaiian land system.
