MAUNALAHA HAWAIIAN SETTLEMENT IN FOREST RESERVE (1943)

''No rent! No tax! Impossible? There is a place a few miles from the heart of Honolulu where property tax and rent are not known. It is called Maunalaha Valley, located only a few hundred yards from the Makiki pumping station. Here, some twenty-six families, most of Hawaiian ancestry, reside in a tropic Eden.'' MAUNALAHA HAWAIIAN SETTLEMENT IN FOREST RESERVE documents the daily lives of the Native Hawaiian community of Maunalaha.
