Lanai Boundary Commission Surveys and Proceedings (1876 to 1891)
The records of the Hawaiian Kingdom Survey and Boundary Commission for the Island of Lanai provide readers with narratives recorded from elder native residents of Lanai, between 1876 to 1891.
By following the link below, you will step back in time, and be introduced to the people, land and history of Lanai, through a collection that has never before been compiled in one accessible source.
The following manuscript includes an overview of the historical context of the narratives, and the resulting descriptions of the native land divisions (ahupuaa) of Lanai which remain in use as descriptors of the island of Lanai in the present day.
