11/13/26 – BOARD APPROVES FINAL TRANSFER OF STATE-OWNED LANDS TO DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS

Hawaii's Board of Land and Natural Resources voted Friday to authorize transferring 318.25 acres of state land in the Waiākea area of Hilo from DLNR to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. Officials said the conveyance is meant to help resolve claims over the use or alienation of Hawaiian home lands between 1959 and 1988, and that Hawaiian Homes Commission approval is still required for the final parcel. Governor Josh Green called it another step toward honoring commitments to Native Hawaiian beneficiaries; BLNR Chairperson Ryan Kanakaʻole said the transfer would complete a land commitment authorized in 1994 and fulfill Act 14 of 1995.
