Land in Hawaii is money. What I'm talking about here is ceded land - land that belonged to the kingdom and was ceded to the republic and then to the state when we achieved statehood.Quote by Neil Abercrombie about talking, state, money
A good portion of the airport is on ceded lands, and lease money was paid for that. So the state's collecting lease money because all of a sudden ''worthless'' land now has an airport on it.Quote by Neil Abercrombie about money, state, good, good luck
A lot of the homelands turned out to be land where no water was readily available, no roads, no amenities. So you had your ceded lands of a couple million acres, and y Hawaiian homesteads of a couple hundred thousand acres.Quote by Neil Abercrombie about couple, water, contentment
