The affected lands, described in Section 5(b) of the Admissions Act, were the bulk of the property "ceded" or surrendered to the United States at the time of annexation in 1898. Nearly 1.8 million acres of land were transferred at the turn of the century. With admission, about 1.4 million acres were returned to the new State of Hawai'i. As described in the State Constitution, OHA was to receive a pro rata share of the income from these 5(b) lands. In 1981 , the State Legislature set this share at 20 percent of the revenue collected from the use of these lands. Thus, OHA was provided by law with a constant source of funding based solely on Native Hawaiian Airport and Sand Island facilities are among ceded lands in question. status.
