Main point of our section is how Liholiho (Kamehameha the 2nd) got rid of the kapu system and how his mother was trying all she can to make Liholiho remove the kapu system. Also it talks about when the missionaries came to Hawai'i.

The Loss of Land, Ceded Lands and Reparations
Taxes
- Taxes where put on lands. Hawaiians couldn't pay taxes so land was seized and sold to foreigners
Adverse Possession
- A process in which land that was left "unused" could be absorbed by others into their plantations/pasture lands
Kuleana Act
- Hawaiians were only entitled to land they actually cultivated
- Hawaiians lost access to lands used by everyone
- lands where animals where pastured was lost
-Hawaiians were given only a short window of time to apply for lands. Also they were expected to have their land cultivated by a certain time. This was unreasonable.
These were the key points that my group and I discussed in our game, Capture the Flag. These are the main reasons why the Hawaiians lose a majority of their land.
