Order for return of artifacts suspended


Hui Malama members have said they will go to prison rather than remove moepu, as ordered by the court, from the Kawaihae cave where they were reburied. But now, according to the Star-Bulletin story, they have been given relief from that order, as "The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday suspended a federal judge's order to have 83 native Hawaiian objects dug up from a Big Island cave and returned to the Bishop Museum by Friday."

Says the Advertiser story, "The appeals court ruled that the artifacts can remain in the cave while Hui Malama appeals Ezra's injunction of Sept. 2 ordering the return to ensure the objects aren't damaged while Native Hawaiian groups determine what should ultimately be done with them. But the appeals court also ordered an expedited appeal, which could result in a decision as early as December."
