Reason for Change in Ownership of the Crown Lands - The Hawai‘i Supreme Court and the Legislature likely decided a change in the ownership of the Crown lands was necessary to address historical injustices and ensure a fairer and more equitable distribution of land. These lands were once held by the Hawaiian monarchy, but after the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893, they were taken over by the U.S. government. The decision to change ownership might have been aimed at:Restoring justice: Acknowledging the wrongs done during the overthrow and the impact on native Hawaiians.Addressing land use: Ensuring that the land would be used in ways that benefit the people of Hawaii, particularly native Hawaiians, rather than just being controlled by outside interests.Supporting cultural preservation: Protecting the cultural and historical significance of the land for the Hawaiian people.By changing the ownership, the court and legislature may have aimed to restore control to local communities and ensure that the Crown lands would be managed in a way that reflected the needs and rights of the Hawaiian people.
