Hui Malama refusing to comply
Star-Bulletin
article
about Hui Malama's refusal to comply with
Judge Ezra's orders to return the moepu buried at Kawaihae, saying "disinterring
the items, which do not include the bones of ancestors, would spiritually
desecrate the grave in a way that could not be later fixed," and saying the
court has ordered them to "steal from
kupuna."And the
Advertiser
reports
that "Reopening a Kawaihae cave to retrieve Hawaiian burial artifacts as ordered
by a federal judge could cause the collapse of the Big Island cave, according to
a mason who helped seal it."
