Kuleana rights

Kuleana rights arose in the mid-1800s and protected the entitlement of Hawaiian tenant farmers and their descendants to, among other things, access landlocked real estate parcels.[1]

In 2012 the Hawaiian Supreme Court confirmed the viability of Kuleana rights in the present day.[2]

In late 2016 Mark Zuckerberg filed suit to eliminate the ownership interests of more than 100 Hawaiians in Kuleana lands.[3] Early in 2017 Mr. Zuckerberg announced that he would drop the litigation.[4]
