Hawaiian Homelands
Hawaiian Homelands refers to lands set aside by the U.S. government for native Hawaiians, established under the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920. This program aims to provide housing and promote self-sufficiency for those with Hawaiian ancestry. The lands are primarily located on the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai.
Eligible native Hawaiians can apply for leases on these lands, which are often used for residential, agricultural, or commercial purposes. The program is managed by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, which oversees the distribution and development of these properties to support the native Hawaiian community.
