The Land Commission awards are the legal title of the land holder, and that claimant, his heirs or assigns (present owners), has/have legal standing in a court of law concerning that piece of land. It also provides information about the land and those who occupied it. Even when claims are not awarded, the claimant’s heirs have legal standing in a court of law concerning burials and artifacts uncovered. The importance of the Royal Patent for the land holder, is that the Government (whether Kingdom, Republic, Territory, or State) relinquishes its interest in the property (J. Achiu, 2004 and Jon J. Chinen, 2002) subject to qualifications, Since Statehood these qualifications have multiplied."

Important Note: The false statement above "his heirs or assigns (present owners) is erroneous/hewa. The true wording is "heirs and successors" --- heirs and successors are related and have Alodio titles. Assigns (present owners) are mostly Aliens and not related to the Alodio owners. See Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli's speech of 1851 to see what he said and documented. Research at the Archives to see the records. The Archives was shut down for two (2) years after the criminal dethronement of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893, which means it gave time for tampering, criminal conversions, frauds, etc. entered onto the books of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

The INDICES OF AWARDS book did mischievously manipulate/maneuver to change the Alodio and Fee Simple into "Alodio in Fee Simple" which gave the appearance that there was ONLY Fee Simple in the Hawaiian Islands. This change resulted in defrauding All Kanaka Maoli.

The Truth of the Matter is that Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli granted Alodio to his people and to Aliens he gave Fee Simple or less than alodio. Aliens can Never own Alodio titles. This is what All Kanaka Maoli needs to know. and this is why all kanaka maoli needs to claim their tutu's aina, charge rents for those sitting on the lands if they are not the descendants/heirs or successors of the Alodio Titles, the Superior Titles/Paramount Titles...... added by Amelia Gora (2017).
