KAHULUI - Due to a large turnout, Maui Community College officials will repeat a free lecture on the ceded lands issue at 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Ka'a'ike Building, Room 109.

MCC Hawaiian studies instructor Kaleikoa Ka'eo will present historical and contemporary perspectives on the 1.2 million acres of ceded lands once owned by the Hawaiian monarchy.

In a unanimous ruling last January, the Hawaii Supreme Court blocked the State of Hawaii from selling or exchanging ceded lands until resolution of Hawaiian claims to those lands.

Gov. Linda Lingle's administration has appealed the Hawaii court's decision and is preparing to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court that Native Hawaiians have no ownership claim to the lands formerly held by the monarchy.
