LAND TITLE ON LĀNA‘I
Summary and Excerpts from Records of the
Bureau of Conveyances (1860-1961)
A review of all conveyances (Bureau of Conveyances – State of Hawai‘i) from the Island of Lāna‘i,
recorded in the books (Liber) for the years between 1845 to 1961 was conducted by Kepā andOnaona Maly (Kumu Pono Associates LLC), as a part of a documentary study for Lāna‘i. As of March
3, 2009, 954 pages, referenced from 385 separate documents were collected from Grantor/Grantee
volumes of the Bureau of Conveyances. All records identified as being from Lāna‘i, including sixty-four(64) documents translated—for the first time—from the original Hawaiian texts to English, have beentranscribed.
While the Grantor/Grantee volumes covering Lāna‘i, Maui, Moloka‘i and Kaho‘olawe, date from
1845, the earliest record of land title found in the volumes from Lāna‘i was dated March 31,
1860. Land records for the period from 1845 to 1859 are generally covered under the Māhele ‘Āina(Land Division), which established fee-simple property rights in the Hawaiian Islands, or by issuanceof Royal Patent Grants on lands taken from the Government land inventory.
While the earliest conveyance (as a leasehold agreement) of land on Lāna‘i known to have beenentered into was between Levi Ha‘alelea (the chiefly owner of Pālāwai Ahupua‘a) and members of theMormon mission in 1854-1855, no record of that agreement was found in the Lāna‘i indices. It is
possible that the agreement was entered into as an unrecorded instrument between Ha‘alelea and theMormons. Also, a review of the indices for all islands may reveal some earlier conveyances that weremislabeled in the books.
This Lāna‘i land history document provides readers with key points of the records, without theextensive repetition of the recital as recorded in the original documents. The citations that follow on
page 46 to 376, include the following documentation:(1)

Who entered into the agreement;(2)

When the agreement was made;(3)

The type of action (lease, sale, or other);(4)

What and where the property or action is found;(5)

Conditions and how sum was paid; and(6)

Family documentation.

Documents originally recorded in the Hawaiian language were translated by Kepā Maly, as a part ofthis undertaking. These translations like those recorded in English generally include verbatim excerpts
of key points of the conveyances, skipping the repetition of clauses, conditions and circumstances of
the instruments.
While we have done our best to ensure that the transcripts are an accurate record of the original
documents, it is possible that we have made some transcription errors. Readers should reference theoriginal documents to ensure accuracy of the citations.
Pages 2 to 45 of this manuscript provide readers with an index to all of the records (referenced
by date, parties to agreement, type of document, location and liber source), that have, to date, been
identified in the collections of the Bureau of Conveyances from the island of Lāna‘i. Researchcontinues in an effort to identify additional records of title, and will be added to the collection as it
becomes available.
