Wal-Mart in court over burial grounds
A
Star-Bulletin
article
says: "A state circuit judge will hear arguments today on whether to stop
Wal-Mart from relocating 42 sets of human remains on its Keeaumoku Street
property. The state Historic Preservation Division and Oahu Island Burial
Council, which have jurisdiction in such matters, gave Wal-Mart approval in
February to move the burials within its 10.5-acre site for a Wal-Mart and Sam's
Club stores. But Nanakuli resident Paulette Kaleikini, who believes her
ancestors could be among those buried on the site, is seeking a court injunction
to prevent the relocation."
