Source:		C&C of Honolulu, Kauai County, Maui County, Hawaii County (2006).		

History:	This dataset was created using the TMK Parcel shapefiles from the 
		counties of Honolulu, Kauai, Maui and Hawaii.  For Kauai, Maui and 
		Hawaii Counties, the "MajorOwner" field was queried to include all 
		public lands along with private landowners with a cummulative of at 
		least 1000 acres per island.  All land owners with "MajorOwner" = "other" 
		were excluded.  

		For Oahu, since there was no "MajorOwner" field, the "Owner" field 
		was queried to select the Public Lands and Private owners of at least 
		1000 acres.
