Native Hawaiian Rights

Native Hawaiian rights encompass the cultural, historical, and legal claims of Native Hawaiians to land, resources, and self-determination. These rights recognize their unique status as the indigenous people of Hawaii, protecting practices like traditional fishing, language, and religious activities. Legally, they may include access to land trusts, participation in cultural preservation, and considerations in land use decisions. These rights aim to preserve Native Hawaiian identity, improve socio-economic conditions, and acknowledge their historical sovereignty and ongoing connection to the environment and community.
