This paper responds to community requests for the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawai‘i to outline the statutory and constitutional limits on the United States (“U.S.”) military and State of Hawaiʻi with respect to decision making over Public Land Trust lands currently under military lease. This includes, but is not limited to, duties related to the unrelinquished claims of Native Hawaiians with respect to the Hawaiian Kingdom lands currently recognized as the Public Land Trust under state and U.S. federal law.
