Question

Was the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1923 good for Native Hawaiians?

Answer 1

The intent was good, but as a Native Hawaiian on the Depart of Hawaiian Home Lands list, the execution is horrible.

Step-by-step explanation:

So many of our kūpuna passed away on the list hoping to one day own their own home. To require our kūpuna to buy a home on our land is outrageous. My grandmother was 91 years old when she passed away and could never afford to get off the list to buy her own home. Hūpō nui.

Answer 2

Yes it was

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is yes, it was good for Hawaiians. The United States legislature enacted the hawaiian homes commission act to see that the Hawaiians are protected and also to see that the lives of native hawaiians are improved. Public lands were administered and given for homesteads. This was a rehabilitation program for the people.
