Protesters, workers clash over graves at home construction site on
Kaua'i
Star-Bulletin reported
Saturday: Native Hawaiian protesters on the beach clashed with construction workers yesterday after a tense day at a home site at Naue Point where at least 30 bodies are buried.
No one was arrested or injured, but both the protesters and the construction workers filed complaints with the police, who arrived at about 1 p.m.
The site, where a home is being constructed by California businessman Joseph Brescia, has been the subject of numerous legal battles over where to put the building, how far it should be set back from the ocean, and where the property line exists.
