In 1966, while attending a constitutional law class taught by Judge
Rabinowitz, the head of the Alaska Supreme Court, Hensley wrote a paper
entitled, What Rights to Land Have the Alaska Natives: The Primary
Issue. Five years later, in 1971, the U.S. Congress and President Nixon
signed into law, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, one of the
largest cash and land settlements in the country. Hensley will discuss
the journey of his Native people from land dis-possession to
re-possession. An epic story with relevance to Hawaii today, as Native
Hawaiians contemplate ceded lands.

and contemplate land claims under the recent Hawaii Supreme Court Ruling
halting the sale or transfer of ceded lands by the state of Hawaii.
