The decline in the number of Native Hawaiian–owned kuleana properties is partly the result of legal frameworks surrounding heirs' property adjudication, which does not easily allow families with multiple owners to collectivize their interests. As a result, families are made vulnerable to land dispossession by developers' use of quiet title and partition actions through the courts. Based on fieldwork that incorporates ethnography and archival research, I explore the disjunction of kin-based patterns of inheritance within a culturally Western legal framework that values one owner, one property scenario. A novel analysis of heirs' property reveals the extent to which current legal doctrine is inherently unsuited to address both real and intangible inheritance patterns, thereby creating property and wealth destruction characteristic of a tragedy of the anticommons.

夏威夷的所有权断裂和反公地悲剧

夏威夷原住民拥有的库莱纳数量减少财产分割在一定程度上是围绕继承人财产裁决的法律框架的结果，该框架不容易允许拥有多个所有者的家庭将其利益集体化。结果，开发商通过法院使用静默所有权和分割诉讼，使家庭很容易被剥夺土地。基于结合民族志和档案研究的实地调查，我探讨了在重视一个所有者、一种财产的西方文化法律框架内基于亲属的继承模式的分离。对继承人财产的新颖分析揭示了现行法律原则本质上不适合解决真实和无形继承模式，从而造成了反公地悲剧所特有的财产和财富破坏。
