Here is the TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH concerning the "Crown Lands." It is very conniving and deceiving to openly tell the people who live and reside in the Hawaiian Archipelago that the "1993 Apology Resolution" clouded the title for the State of Hawaii to sell the "Crown Lands" away. Let us not forget the TRUTH that the only real and true titles to the land (Aina) of Hawaii Nei is really called PalaPala Sila Nui or interpreted in English, Royal Patent. Even under US Law, Patents are the "Supreme Title & Document to the Land (Aina). A favorite parable that I like to use when explaining and informing to all nationalities and people of Humanity about the "PalaPala Sila Nui" or "Royal Patents" is if I was an inventor that invented something, the first thing I would do to protect my invention from having others "imitate it" is to copyright it, which means that no one can add, subtract, sell, change or trade my copyright forever. The same things apply concerning these true and real title's throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago. These titles to the lands and even these "Crown Lands" of Hawaii Nei is passed on to the "Successors and Heirs" to who these "Patents" were given to forever.So to sum it all up in a nutshell, if Attorney General Mark Bennett wants to tell all of the people of Hawaii Nei that the "1993 Apology Resolution Bill" clouded the State's title to the "Crown Lands" of Hawaii Nei, maybe he should tell the people the "TRUTH" that the cloud over the real and true titles of the lands of Hawaii was when an "Act of war" took place in 1893, an illegal invasion" happened in 1893, that 3 treaty's were broken in 1893, which were the treaty's of friendship, commerce and navigation between two independent and sovereign countries. The US has confessed and acknowledged it's crime in the very same "Apology Resolution" that the State Attorney General Mark Bennett is referencing too. The US also broke international law as well as their own US Constitutional Domestic Law. In the Apology Resolution, the US Congress once again admits and confesses that the lands of Hawaii belong to the kanaka maoli's, because they know that these true titles to the land were given from the "Great Mahele." I am not the only one saying it, the US Congress has stated that in the "Apology Resolution" too. It is a law that all of the kanaka maoli's can point to again and again, It is a law that the US is stuck with and there is nothing they can do about it, because it is Law.One more thing, because of Public Law 103-150, the US has provided the "Restitution" that is overly due to the kanaka maoli's, which means to bring back a people to where they were before the offense occurred. Again, this is openly admitted and confessed in the "Apology Resolution." So before the State Attorney General wants to deceive and connive the people of Hawaii Nei where the "clouding of titles" began, maybe he should read what really took place and what the US Congress is openly acknowledging in the "Apology Resolution" so all will know the TRUTH that these "Royal Patents" if anything will be clearing up all of the "Clouding" of titles that has been going on for the last 115 years in Hawaii Nei, once and for all.Feedback and input is highly desired and encouraged!!!"Kaleo"Kanaka Maoli
I agree, you stated it acurately and clearly. This is excellent!
Referring to the Apology Bill, several Senators supported what Senator Slade Gorton in opposition stated, "... the only logical consequence is total independence." He was correct and others were afraid of that; which means the U.S. would have to de-occupy Hawai'i.
Crown lands were separate from government lands since it was to be used to support the monarch and the successors monetarily through the revenues gotten through those lands. Also, in the Great Mahele, there were rights of native tenants on those lands and government lands for their homestead and farming. The King knew the backbone of the Kingdom was through its mahi'ai.
