Question: Who defended the great grandniece of Kamehameha I's claims to the Hawaiian crown lands?
Context: Robert Adams II (December 24, 1832 – May 12, 1882) was a cotton planter from Lower Richland County, South Carolina, and Captain in the Army of The Confederate States of America.  He was the son of Robert Adams and Charlotte Belton Pickett Adams, and the grandson of Joel Adams and Grace Weston Adams.  Robert married Eveline McCord of Philadelphia, the great grandniece of Betsy Ross. The Commissioner of Crown Lands was a member of the Executive Council for the Province of Canada responsible for administering the surveying and sale of Crown land, the forests, mines, and fisheries of the Province.  From 1841 to 1867 the Department of Crown Lands was the biggest of the Province of Canada's departments.  It assumed responsibility for mining in 1846, for fisheries in 1857, and for Indian Affairs in 1860.  It functioned on a dual basis, with each branch divided into two separate sections, one for Upper Canada and one for Lower Canada.  After Canadian Confederation in 1867, responsibility for provincial crown land and for natural resources was assigned to the provinces (Ontario and Quebec) while responsibility for fisheries and Indian Affairs were transferred to the new federal government. The Commissioners of Crown Lands were charged with the management of United Kingdom Crown lands.  From 1924 to 1954, they discharged the functions previously carried out by the Commissioners of Woods, Forests and Land Revenues.  There were three Commissioners at any one time: the Minister of Agriculture, the Secretary of State for Scotland and one Permanent Commissioner. Franklin Seaver Pratt (November 1, 1829 – January 11, 1894), also known as Franklyn or Frank S. Pratt, was an American settler, businessman, public servant and diplomat of the Kingdom of Hawaii.  He married Elizabeth Kekaʻaniau Laʻanui, a member of the Hawaiian nobility, and defended her claims to the Hawaiian crown lands during the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The Natural Resources Acts were a series of Acts passed by the Parliament of Canada and the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan in 1930 to transfer control over crown lands and natural resources within these provinces from the federal government to the provincial governments.  Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan had not been given control over their natural resources when they entered Confederation, unlike the other Canadian provinces.  British Columbia had surrendered certain portions of its natural resources and Crown lands to the federal government, the Railway Belt and the Peace River Block, when it entered Confederation in 1871, as part of the agreement for the building of the transcontinental railway. Elizabeth Kekaʻaniau Laʻanui Pratt, full name Elizabeth Kekaikuihala Kekaʻaniauokalani Kalaninuiohilaukapu Laʻanui Pratt (12 September 1834 – 20 December 1928) was a great grandniece of Kamehameha I, being a great granddaughter of Kalokuokamaile, the older brother of Kamehameha I, founder of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The Commissioners of Woods, Forests and Land Revenues were officials under the United Kingdom Crown, charged with the management of Crown lands.  Their office were customarily known as the Office of Woods.  Under the Act of Parliament 14 and 15 Vict Cap 42 they took over from the Commissioners of Woods, Forests, Land Revenues, Works, and Buildings those functions which related to the revenue-earning parts of the Crown lands.  In 1924 the Royal Forests including the New Forest and Forest of Dean were transferred from the Office of Woods to the new Forestry Commission, and the title of the Commissioners of Woods, Forests and Land Revenues was changed to Commissioners of Crown Lands. Crown Lands Act is a stock short title used in the United Kingdom for legislation relating to crown lands. In Hawaiʻ i, the term "ceded lands" refers to 1.8 million acres (7,300 km²) of land that were the crown lands of the Hawaiian monarchy prior to January 17, 1893, lotted out by Kamehameha III during the Great Mahele.  On this date, the government of the Hawaiian Kingdom was overthrown by anti-monarchial residents of Hawai`i.  The abrogation of the monarchy led in turn to the formation of a Provisional Government (January 17, 1893 – July 3, 1894) and to the Republic of Hawaiʻ i (July 4, 1894 – August 12, 1898) which was the government that sought and achieved annexation. Moravia ( ; Czech: "Morava" ; German:    ; Polish: "Morawy" ; Latin: "Moravia" ) is a historical country in the Czech Republic (forming its eastern part) and one of the historical Czech lands, together with Bohemia and Czech Silesia.  The medieval and early modern Margraviate of Moravia was a crown land of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (from 1348 to 1918), an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire (1004 to 1806), later a crown land of the Austrian Empire (1804 to 1867) and briefly also one of 17 former crown lands of the Cisleithanian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867 to 1918.  During the early 20th century, Moravia was one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1928; it was then merged with Czech Silesia, and eventually dissolved by abolition of the land system in 1949.
