NGERKEBAI CLAN, Appellant, V
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE REPUBLIC OF PALAU APPELLATE DIVISION NGERKEBAI CLAN, Appellant, v. NGEREMLENGUI STATE PUBLIC LANDS AUTHORITY, Appellee. Cite as: 2018 Palau 16 Civil Appeal No. 17-011 Appeal from LC/B 10-00072 Decided: August 21, 2018 Counsel for Appellant ..................................................... Vameline Singeo Counsel for Appellee …………… ................................ Masami Elbelau, Jr. BEFORE: ARTHUR NGIRAKLSONG, Chief Justice R. BARRIE MICHELSEN, Associate Justice DENNIS K. YAMASE, Associate Justice Appeal from the Land Court, the Honorable Rose Mary Skebong, Senior Judge, presiding. OPINION PER CURIAM: [¶ 1] The case of Ngeremlengui State Government v. Ngardmau State Government, 2016 Palau 24, set the boundary between those two states. The resolution of that case established that Bureau of Lands and Surveys Lot 201 01 H 003-001(“Lot 001”) lies within the State of Ngeremlengui, just as it had been located within Ngeremlengui Municipality in Trust Territory times. [¶ 2] This Land Court appeal brought by Ngerkebai Clan concerns ownership of Lot 001. The Land Court awarded the property to Ngeremlengui State Public Lands Authority. We affirm. Ngerkebai Clan v. Ngeremlengui State Pub. Lands Auth., 2018 Palau 16 [¶ 3] Ngerkebai Clan claimed ownership of Lot 001 based upon a 1963 quitclaim deed it received from the Trust Territory Government. The validity of the deed, and its transfer of land to Ngerkebai Clan, is not disputed. Therefore, the task of the Land Court was to determine whether Lot 001 was within the 1963 conveyance. [¶ 4] The Land Court held that the Trust Territory’s quitclaim deed showed the property’s southwestern boundary at the Ngermasch River, which placed all of the land conveyed within Ngardmau State, and therefore north of Lot 001. -
The 16 STATES
The 16 STATES Pristine Paradise. 2 Palau is an archipelago of diverse terrain, flora and fauna. There is the largest island of volcanic origin, called Babeldaob, the outer atoll and limestone islands, the Southern Lagoon and islands of Koror, and the southwest islands, which are located about 250 miles southwest of Palau. These regions are divided into sixteen states, each with their own distinct features and attractions. Transportation to these states is mainly by road, boat, or small aircraft. Koror is a group of islands connected by bridges and causeways, and is joined to Babeldaob Island by the Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge. Once in Babeldaob, driving the circumference of the island on the highway can be done in a half day or full day, depending on the number of stops you would like. The outer islands of Angaur and Peleliu are at the southern region of the archipelago, and are accessable by small aircraft or boat, and there is a regularly scheduled state ferry that stops at both islands. Kayangel, to the north of Babeldaob, can also be visited by boat or helicopter. The Southwest Islands, due to their remote location, are only accessible by large ocean-going vessels, but are a glimpse into Palau’s simplicity and beauty. When visiting these pristine areas, it is necessary to contact the State Offices in order to be introduced to these cultural treasures through a knowledgeable guide. While some fees may apply, your contribution will be used for the preservation of these sites. Please see page 19 for a list of the state offices. -

Oldiais Ngiraikelau Counsel for Ngardmau ..................................................... Yukiwo P. Dengokl Matthew S. Kane BEFORE: KATHLEEN M. SALII, Associate Justice LOURDES F. MATERNE, Associate Justice C. QUAY POLLOI, Associate Justice Pro Tem Appeal from the Trial Division, the Honorable R. Ashby Pate, Associate Justice, presiding. OPINION PER CURIAM: [¶ 1] This appeal arises from a dispute between the neighboring States of Ngeremlengui and Ngardmau regarding their common boundary line. In 2013, the Ngeremlengui State Government and Ngeremlengui State Public Lands Authority (Ngeremlengui) filed a civil suit against the Ngardmau State Government and Ngardmau State Public Lands Authority (Ngardmau), seeking a judgment declaring the legal boundary line between the two states. After extensive evidentiary proceedings and a trial, the Trial Division issued a decision adjudging that common boundary line. [¶ 2] Each state has appealed a portion of that decision and judgment. Ngardmau argues that the Trial Division applied an incorrect legal standard to determine the boundary line. Ngardmau also argues that the Trial Division Ngeremlengui v. Ngardmau, 2016 Palau 24 clearly erred in making factual determinations concerning parts of the common land boundary. Ngeremlengui argues that the Trial Division clearly erred in making factual determinations concerning a part of the common maritime boundary. For the reasons below, the judgment of the Trial Division is AFFIRMED. -
Conservation Areas
Republic of Palau Conservation Areas Palauans have always understood the intricate balance between the health of Palau’s natural habitats and the long-term health of its people. For many centuries, Palauans have practiced conservation and sustainable use of its natural habitats. To date, Palau has 290km² (112 square miles) of natural habitat, both marine and terrestrial, that is under some sort of protection. This is significant considering that Palau has a land mass of approximately 363 square kilometers.
