Possession under color of title for seven consecutive years confers title in lands by limitation. Parsons v. Sharpe, 102 Ark. 611, 145 S.W. 537 (1912); Vick v. Berg, 251 Ark. 573, 473 S.W.2d 585 (1971). Sc Also: Reynolds v. Snyder, 121 Ark. 33, 180 S.W. 752, 183 S.W. 979 (1915).

According to many cases, the claimant must be in possession as owner against the whole world and not in a manner subordinate to the interest or title of another. E.g., Skansi v. Novak, supra; McNaught-Collins Improvement Co. v. May, 52 Wn. 632, 101 P. 237 (1909); Vick v. Berg, 251 Ark. 573, 473 S.W.2d 858 (1971); Wanex v. Hurst, 188 Md. 520, 53 A.2d 38 (1947). Even if subordinate possession is based on a mistaken belief the governmental entity owns the land, the necessary hostility is missing.
