Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological dis- order in the U.S. – with 1 in 26 people in the United States that will develop epilepsy in their life- time. Despite how common it is and major advances in diagnosis and treatment, epilepsy is among the least understood of major chronic medical conditions, even though one in three adults knows someone with the disorder.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That, subject to the provisions of this Act, and upon issuance of the proclamation required by section 7(c) of this Act, the State of Hawaii is hereby declared to be a State of the United States of America, is declared admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the other States in all respects whatever, and the constitution formed pursuant to the provisions of the Act of the Territorial Legislature of Hawaii entitled "An Act to provide for a constitutional convention, the adoption of a State constitution, and the forwarding of the same to the Congress of the United States, and appropriating money therefor", approved May 20, 1949 (Act 334, Session Laws of Hawaii, 1949), and adopted by a vote of the people of Hawaii in the election held on November 7, 1950, is hereby found to be republican in form and in conformity with the Constitution of the United States and the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and is hereby accepted, ratified, and confirmed. §2.

Kaho'olawe Survey Background Information This brief introduction to the archaeology of Kaho'olawe is included with each site form to demonstrate the significance of each individual site within the context of the unique archaeological pattern of the whole island. Kaho'olawe is the smallest of the eight major islands of the Hawaiian group, its 45 square miles constituting about 0.77% of the land area of the state. The summit of the island is 1477 feet. Lua Makika and the low topography and its position in the lee of eastern Maui combine to limit the orographic rain, making Kaho'olawe the most arid of the main islands. Mean annual rainfall is about 25 inches at Lua Makika and 10 to 15 inches at the coast. Erosion has reduced large sections of the interior upland of Kaho'olawe to barren saprolitic hardpan. The west end of the island slopes gently down to the ocean. The low sea cliffs of the northwest coast are bro­ ken at intervals by 15 major gulches and several minor ones, most of which originate near the east-west centerline of the island. Sheer 300 feet to 800 feet cliffs form most of the remaining half of the coastline. The biotic community has changed significantly in the two centuries since Western Contact was established during Captain Cook's third vo­ yage (1778-79).

HORWITZ Researcher Professor of and Director Political Science Legislative Michigall State Reference Bureau University Assisted by RONALD K. L WONG PHILIP N.

FOREWORD This is one of a series of reports stemming from a program of research on Hawaii's public lands. This research was undertaken in response to a request by Hawaii's State Legislature that the Legislative Reference Bureau prepare an historical survey of pub­ lic land management and policies of the federal government, state governments, and Hawaii, with particular emphasis on a review and analysis of Hawaii's public land poli­ cies during the period 1893 to the present. The first portion of the Legislature's request was met through publication in 1962 of L.R.B. Report Number 5, a summary history of Public Land policies of the United States and the Mainland States. Additional working papers already published or in preparation are designed to present an historical survey and analysis of Hawaii's pub­ lic land policies, with a view to identifying the major objectives of land management, assessing their success or failure, and weighing them against present and reasonably predictable future requirements. Thus, these studies are based on the premise that public land policy is properly understood as long-range policy. The public land statutes now in force will materially affect the future--just as the public land laws of the past have contributed importantly to shaping contemporary Hawaii.

They stretch from east-southeast to west-north­ west for a distance of 1660 nautical miles (1900 statute; 3057.74 kilomet- ers) or more, from the southeast side of Hawaii to beyond Midway and Kure. Each time a survey ship makes soundings along this strip it adds new sub­ merged peaks to the chain. We may divide the islands of the Hawaiian chain into three areas: (1) the eight main islands at the southeastern end; (2) the small rocky islets in the middle; and (3) the low sand and coral islands of the northwestern end.

Mahalo to the many contributors of manao and resources to make this initial guide possible! SCHHA The Sovereign Council of Hawaiian Homestead Associations was founded in 1987 and is the oldest and largest self-governing federation of homestead associations which are comparable to tribes on the continent and Alaska, and individual beneficiaries eligible for land allotments under the congressionally enacted Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920 (HHCA). SCHHA is entirely dedicated to the sovereignty and self-determination of native Hawaiians of the HHCA, like Indian Allotment Acts of the same policy era. The HHCA set-a-side 203,000 acres of trust lands for distribution to native Hawaiians of 50% blood quantum or more, for homes, ranches, farms and businesses, as defined in HHCA Section 207. SCHHA is governed by federally-defined homestead associations and HHCA beneficiaries from all islands, serving 41 different homestead trust land areas around the State where our members reside or on the waitlist to reside.
