Ayau released to home confinement; Thompson & Kawaa chosen to mediate


Advertiser breaking news that "Edward Halealoha Ayau, executive director of Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai'i Nei, has been ordered released from the federal detention center and into home confinement on Moloka'i following an appearance in court this morning."

Also: "District Judge David Ezra chose two men with ties to Kamehameha Schools to facilitate what's being called a 'Hawaiian mediation' process that is outside of typical judicial proceedings in hopes of settling the dispute out of court. They are Nainoa Thompson, Hokule'a navigator and Kamehameha trustee, and Earl Kawaa, site coordinator and specialist for Kamehameha's Hi'ilani outreach program in Waimanalo."

Similar breaking news also in the Star-Bulletin.

In an Advertiser letter Roy Yanagihara writes that it is ironic that Ayau is was jailed, while "it should be clear that Bishop Museum does not have a greater claim to the artifacts because it conspired with Forbes to conceal the stolen character of the items when it acquired them. Can the 'stolen' character of misbegotten goods be changed due to the passage of time? The answer should be a resounding 'No.'"
