Before, the land belonged to the gods and not to the Hawaiians. After the Mahele, working class people like the maka’ainana could own land. The laws were changing because when the Mahele came about, new rules were made. Laws were changing to help Hawaii be more wealthy. Another example of a political impact is how lands were being distributed (Hio). Lands are being distributed unfairly because when Kamehameha III distributed the land, the Hawaiians have to work for the people who own the land. The Kuleana Act of 1850 allowed the Hawaiians to own land, but there were certain requirements to own land. Those requirements were that they would have to survey the land, present the claim with the Land Commission and file claim by 1854. People could claim someone’s land if they didn’t live on it for 10 years. This was called the Alien Act of 1850. The Hawaiians that owned land, lost it because they couldn’t pay the taxes, they did not occupy, or care for their land. Hawaiians didn’t have enough money, they lacked knowledge/experience with the law, and missed the 1854

What happened because of the Bayonet Constitution of 1887, was that most of the power was stripped away from King Kalakaua and put it into the hands of the Hawaiian League, which then created a series of events that had influenced the Hawaiian Islands substantially.The Bayonet constitution was made when the Hawaiian league filled with businessmen and lawyers had taken over most of cabinet that helps the King make decisions. With that influence they drafted a new constitution that reduced the power of the King and gave more power to the people on the cabinet. Under the gun, King Kalakaua was forced to sign the constitution. Thus, making it hard for Native Hawaiians to have a voice. This happened because a few foreigners (Hawaiian League)

There of course have been many solutions and ways to help the Kanaka Maoli restore the land that they once had. Not all solutions have been tests but as for some, yes. Advice of Queen Liliuokalani was to have let the people of Hawaii make the decisions and even had an elected constitutional monarch. The voices of the Kanaka Maoli tribe were very important to the Hawaiian nations and it was a way of agreement to have the tribe decide for themselves.

The foreigners took the land without them knowing and traded it with the other foreigners. They sold the land to the other foreigners even though the land want theres. The foreigners made them pay for their own land even though the hawaiians had no money. They also left them with less than one

On January 27, 1848, King Kamehameha created The Mahele to protect Hawaiians from foreigners taking over land. During the Mahele, the ali’i, maka’ainana, and the king had 33% of land but over time, it has changed. The Mahele happened because the foreigners wanted to gain control of the land but King Kamehameha III wanted the Hawaiians to have land, too. Their solution was that they made the Mahele to prevent foreigners from gaining control of the land (Cachola). The Mahele was unjustified because it gave Hawaiians only 1% of land when they should’ve had 33%, the government made the land prices too high, and the maka’ainana barely had any resources ever since the foreigners started to arrive.

In 1848, a great land revolution called the Great Mahele came to Hawaii. Foreigners thought that if commoners owned their own land that the commoners would give up their lazy ways. Foreigners saw land division to bring tough works 151 years ago (Borreca). Foreigners wanted land to make sugar since they wanted to make money so, King Kamehameha III wanted to divide the land equally to everyone. The Mahele of 1848 was unjustified since Hawaiians had no money, children were eating raw food, and their land was sold to foreigners before they could even buy it.

Shannon Hall wrote Hawaii’s Telescope Controversy Is the Latest in a Long History of Land-Ownership Battles to highlight the ethics issue surrounding the use of a sacred location to further science. The bases of this ethics issue begins in the 1950-1970, when the pursuit of the Moon, technology and science trumped nearly all other concerns. During this time period allocations of property were leased to astronomers in areas where locals had very little say. This occurred on the peak of the largest mountain in the world, Mauna Kea. This mountain starts at the bottom of the ocean floor and rises a staggering 33,500 ft, nearly a mile taller than Mt.Everest. The peak of the mountain is a prime location for the most advanced telescopes in the world.

In Hawaii, changes were going by fast as the population of the foreigners increasing and land being in demand, so because of this, the Great Mahele of 1848 occurred also known as the Great Land Division. King Kamehameha III originally divided the land between three groups, kings, ali’i, and the makaainana. This happened because King Kamehameha III didn't want the foreigners to take the land by force (Borreca). The land later on was divided into even more groups and the foreigners were interested in the land. They would take advantage by starting currency in Hawaii, and because of this, most of the Hawaiians had a hard time or struggled to survive (Cachola). The Great Mahele of 1848 was unjustified because the land was taken away by foreigners,

Livia’s devotion to being involved with the state did not stop with her husband’s policies. Two generations later, with Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus, her influence is seen again. Claudius lived with Livia for a long time, during which he developed an immense amount of respect for her. Although he could be considered the black sheep of the family, when Claudius became emperor, he was successful in making Britain a province and extending the Roman rule to Northern Africa. The people wanted to celebrate Claudius, but he refused almost all praise. In fact, he directed all praise towards Livia instead. “His grandmother Livia he not only honoured with equestrian contests but also deified; and he set up a statue to her in the temple of Augustus, charging the Vestal Virgins with the duty of offering the proper sacrifices, and he ordered that women should use her name in taking oaths” (Dio Cassius Roman History Book 60). Claudius had so much admiration for her that he wanted her name to be spoken even when citizens were taking oaths. Livia was an example for women to follow in that if they are ineligible or unable to shape western civilization themselves, they can shape it with their connections to powerful men. Livia

In the beginning, Hawaii was unknown to any humans. Polynesians eventually came across its islands, and decided to make it their home. In the early days, each island was ruled by a chief, and many times the islands were in conflict with each other. Centuries like this passed, but then "in 1782, [Queen Lili'uokalani's] cousin Kamehameha set out to conquer and unite the islands". Thirteen years later, in 1795, Kamehameha

In Ancient Hawaii, King Kamehameha the Great unified the Hawaiian Islands. After Kamehameha unified the islands he rewarded his loyal followers making them chiefs and letting them rule over the land. Then after Kamehameha the Great died his son Kamehameha III did very little to change the land ownership in Hawaii. But Kamehameha III divided the land into two separate categories with the Act of 1848 “The Great Mahele”. There was the Crown Lands that he kept for himself and the Government lands which were to be split between the commoners, government, and the chiefs. The Great Mahele of 1848 had social, political, and economical effects on the Native Hawaiians.

“Kamehameha the Great” was the first who united all the islands together and became the ruler in 1810. After he died, the rule was past down to his descendants for about 62 years. From then on, during the process of annexation, the rulers were chosen by the “Hawaiian legislators”. At the time of Lili'uokalani reign, the “prominent annexationists… armed companies of militia” overthrowing the monarchy, and ceding all the lands from the Hawaiians. Present-day,TMT have acquired the necessary permits for building the 30 meter telescope on Mauna Kea. The Hawaiians have felt that they have been disgraced as the construction is beginning. I agree with what the Hawaiians feel because in making the thirty meter telescope there is negative impacts on

The Hawaiian Islands are well known for their beauty, tranquility, and unique culture that have shaped this state into what we see today. The special bond that the natives have formed between themselves and nature is not exactly one of a kind, but it is something that can truly be admired. Around approximately 300 AD, Hawaii was discovered by Polynesians who arrived by canoe from Tahiti. These migrants brought their polytheistic spirituality and formed a large intricate society with hierarchies consisting of many chiefs. Alongside the ruling of the chiefs, the newborn Hawaiians followed a strict belief system known as Kapu akua otherwise known as the “law of the gods”. The Kapu was a strict set of rules and restraints that dictated all

The Reciprocity Treaty connected between the United States and Hawaii, for the import and export for foreign goods without the added tariff, ended to support US agricultural divisions (PBS: Hawaii’s Last Queen). Plantation managers and workers had to find a new way to make their product, profitable effecting their time management, which resulted in them having more of the supply, then the profit. This eventually took a toll on their local movements. In addition to their downfall, Hawaii’s government authority was enclosed, and held captive by Lorrin Thurston, with the aid of the Hawaiian League, and exhibited their force by any means necessary to impede the power held by the Hawaiian monarchy and natives. As stated by Hawaii Nation’s article, “The Overthrow of Hawaii,” Lorrin Thurston saw the Hawaiian Islands as an opportunity to remodel and improve the aspects relevant to Hawaii, bringing out it’s true beauty. Although, as some saw it as an inevitable change to make Hawaii better, others saw the process of their native island disappear, along with their traditional practices and customs passed down for thousands of years. The Hawaiians only saw the foreigners mar their sacred hearts, losing power externally and internally to come about for change that was

According to Jean lwata Cachola, when the Great Mahele occurred, the maka’ainana lacked knowledge and experience with the new laws, meaning that they didn’t know what and how they should do to gain the land they wanted. For example, during the Kuleana Act of 1850, the Hawaiians had many difficulties when they wanted and tried to buy land fee simple, which is buying the lands they lived in and cultivated. Before, the maka’ainana didn’t know anything about
