Native Hawaiian rights refer to the legal and cultural entitlements of the indigenous people of Hawaii, known as the Native Hawaiians. These rights are rooted in the historical connection of Native Hawaiians to the land, culture, and resources of the Hawaiian Islands. They encompass various aspects, including land ownership, cultural practices, and self-governance. The recognition of Native Hawaiian rights has evolved through legislation and court decisions, such as the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920, which aimed to provide land for Native Hawaiians. Efforts continue to address historical injustices and promote the preservation of Hawaiian culture and language.
