How can state have clear title to stolen land?


In an Advertiser letter, Steven Tayama says "There are important legal questions that must be answered before the state begins to evict Hawaiians. Are the lands at Kahana ceded lands? Does the state have clear title to the so-called ceded lands?U.S. Public Law 103-150 says that 1.8 million acres of Hawaiian Kingdom lands were "ceded" without consent or compensation to the Native Hawaiian people or their sovereign government. The same law says that the overthrow was "illegal." So the question is, how can the state have clear title to any lands that were taken illegally?"
