Bones and artifacts; cultural education


Lana Ululaniokekaihawanawana Robbins says only Hawaiians can decide on cave bones. But Bishop Museum is prepared to contest claims to artifacts: "The Bishop Museum has adopted a more activist role in contesting Native Hawaiian claims on cultural artifacts in its possession by asserting that it, too, qualifies as a 'Native Hawaiian organization' under federal law." Nanette Napoleon says other Native Hawaiians back museum director.

Meanwhile, Burial official's duties have been revised: "A reshuffling of assignments within the state office that deals with ancient Hawaiian burials has some within the Hawaiian community worried that protection of graves may fall short as the pace of development picks up."

And Hawaiian educators gather on Big Island: "The kupuna and makua who share their knowledge of Hawaiian culture, language and crafts with public school students across the state are gathering on the Big Island this week to exchange and build on their store of island lore."
