Kuleana rights arose in the mid-1800s and protected the entitlement of Hawaiian tenant farmers and their descendants to, among other things, access landlocked real estate parcels.[1]
In 2012 the Hawaiian Supreme Court confirmed the viability of Kuleana rights in the present day.[2]
In 2016 Mark Zuckerberg filed suit to eliminate the ownership interests of more than 100 Hawaiians in Kuleana lands.[3]
