sugar-cane lands, and (c) all public
lands held under a certificate of
occupation, homestead lease, right of
purchase lease, or special homestead
agreement..." DHHL and DLNR officials
informed us that they are not aware of
any maps showing lands available and
designated as Home lands at the time
the Act was passed or at the time the
State of Hawaii assumed responsibility
for the lands upon Statehood.
According to DHHL this lack of
accurate descriptions of available
land is demonstrated in Table 69.
The exclusions of the Act are also
factors that make it difficult to
define the Home lands acreage because
of the imprecise information
concerning the lands under the
exclusions at the time of the Act.
According to DHHL, there were
approximately 9,704 acres in forest
reserve at the time of the Act.
According to the cognizant Deputy
Attorney General there may be
approximately 14,197 acres of
additional forest reserve land that
were designated as such after the Act.
And, approximately 44 of the 14,197
acres were not included in the Akinaka
Study or the DHHL land inventory
records, and another 466 acres were
included in the Akinaka Study but not
the DHHL land inventory.
The exclusion of public lands under
sugar cane cultivation, according to
DHHL, accounts for a "loss" of
approximately 4,000 acres in the areas
of Waimanalo and Lualalei on the
island of Oahu, and Anahola-Kamalomalo
on the island of Kauai. The
identification of lands under sugar
cane cultivation at the time of the
Act was not documented. The process
of identifying these lands involves a
detailed review of sugar cane leases
that were in effect when the Act was
passed. DHHL has identified 809 acres
that may have been improperly excluded
from Home lands in the Anahola-
Kamalomalo area, partly because
of their questionable identification
as sugar cane lands.
Other examples of discrepancies or
problems relating to the land
inventory are as follows:
1. The blue book maintained by
DHHL included many adjustments
of acreages made by DHHL
personnel and the adjustments
did not contain explanations of
adjustments or make reference
to supporting documents.
2. The Akinaka Study did not
include an area known as South
Point in Kamaoa-Puueo on the
island of Hawaii. According to
DHHL the excluded area consists
of 699 acres.
3. The Humuula area on the island
of Hawaii, according to the
Akinaka Study, consists of
52,764 acres of Home lands
while the DHHL blue book shows
52,781 acres. Further, a
question has been raised as to
whether this Home lands area
should only be 49,100 acres.
According to a Deputy Attorney
General, State of Hawaii, the
Commission only selected 49,100
acres in the required time
period, 1921 through 1929.
4. Lands used for roads in some
cases have been included in the
DHHL blue book and in other
cases the road acreages were
excluded. We were unable to
satisfy ourselves as to the
rationale of the exclusions or
inclusions and were unable to
determine the amount of
excluded road acreage.
5. Our limited comparison of tax
maps with the DHHL blue book
