Discussion on Ceded Public Lands – 22 Nov. 2008
November 16, 2008 by admin
On this Saturday we managed to keep the music coming while getting a crash course in ceded land issues. Earlier this year the State Supreme Court ruled no more ceded lands could be sold until Native Hawaiians settled all claims with the U.S. government. Over the summer, the Lingle Administration appealed to have that ruling overturned and now the U.S Supreme Court has agreed to review the case. Three hotshot students from the Richardson School of Law laid out the story and the reasons Hawaiians fear a negative ruling could cripple Hawaiian rights. check www.stopsellingcededlands.com or email kupuaina@gmail.com for more. Mahalo to Jocelyn Doane, Davis Kahoku Price and Derek Kauanoe—You are carrying the torch. Uncle Wayne is so proud of his nephew, Derek, soon a lawyer and even better, an activist.
