HawaiÊ»i’s “Ceded Landsâ€: The Ongoing Quest for Justice in HawaiÊ»i
Speaker: Professor Williamson B.C. Chang
Description: While Hawaiians may disagree about many issues, they do agree and unite around their responsibility and kuleana for the aina. The loss of the “ceded landsâ€, as a result of United States intervention is a source of continued discontent. Similarly, the loss of Alii lands by the leasehold conversion act, held constitutional by the United States Supreme Court in 1984, remains a major grievance. Professor Chang will speak about the nature of Hawaiian claims to both the “ceded lands†and Alii lands.
About Professor Chang: Professor Chang is the longest serving member of the William S. Richardson School of Law faculty. He was a Special Deputy Attorney General representing Chief Justice William S. Richardson in a number of major property rights cases in Hawai‘i. He was also a senior legislative counsel to the Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs in Washington and litigation director of the Native Hawaiian Advisory Council, a non-profit devoted to assisting Hawaiians and farmers with their water rights claims. He is well known for his work in water rights and was secretary to the commission that drafted the State Water Code. He has taught many courses, including Water Rights, Business Associations, Conflicts of Law, Native Hawaiian Rights and has started a new course on the creation of a Hawaiian Nation: “To Grow a Nation.â€
