Hawaiian Bones to stay on Wal-Mart site
The
Advertiser
reports:
"The state has determined that the 42 sets of human remains found during the
construction of the Wal-Mart /Sam's Club project on Ke'eaumoku Street will be
moved to a reburial site on the property rather than left where they were found
or grouped together with other iwi kupuna (ancestral bones) at another location.
The property owner and cultural descendants support the decision by the State
Historic Preservation Division, but one Hawaiian group says the state did not
follow its own guidelines in handling Hawaiian remains, and the group is
considering filing a lawsuit to stop the process."
