Dispossession (i.e., forcefully acquiring indigenous land): AAP, ‘Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sues to buy Hawaii land for sprawling estate’, Domain, 22/01/17

22Jan17

Excerpt: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has gone to court to gain ownership of isolated pockets of land tucked away within his sprawling estate in Hawaii, many of which are less than an acre and could be split between hundreds of owners in a situation unique to the islands.

The 14 parcels on the north shore of Kauai initially belonged to Native Hawaiians who were awarded the land during mid-19th century, when private property was established in the islands.
