Hawaiian Home Lands
Hawaiian Home Lands refers to a program established in 1921 to provide land to Native Hawaiians for residential, agricultural, and pastoral purposes. The initiative aims to support the self-sufficiency and cultural preservation of the Native Hawaiian community. The lands are managed by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL), which oversees the leasing and development of these properties.
Eligible Native Hawaiians can apply for leases on these lands, which are typically offered at low or no cost. The program is intended to help address the historical injustices faced by Native Hawaiians and promote their well-being and economic stability.
