Keala, the Kingdom government was in control of all government and Crown lands. When Hawaii became a Republic these lands were passed on to the new form of government. Then to the territorial government, then back to the State at Statehood. All lands and resources are still in the hands of the Hawaii government for the good of all people. Just as they were in the Kingdom. Only the form of government has changed. And, as you recognize, a "representative democracy" if far superior to the Kingdom model.
