HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS
Certain areas, for example areas around Anahola, have been set aside as exclusively available as homelands for those of Hawaiian descent having a specified percentage of Hawaiian ancestry. These properties may not certainly be sold to non-Hawaiians, though family members with less than a specified percentage of Hawaiian ancestry living on the property can inherit and remain on the land. Hawaiian sovereignty claims and controversially slow qualifying for occupancy in the past has brought Hawaiian homes issues to the public attention repeatedly in recent years.
