Concern over ancient Hawaiian remainsThe
Advertiser
reports
on more human remains found last week in an
area of Kaka'ako that is rife with development, after a controversy over dozens
of similar discoveries nearby. The article says, "... new questions are being
raised about whether enough is being done to protect burial sites before the
areas are developed. Edward Halealoha Ayau, a member of Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O
Hawai'i Nei, an organization that oversees perpetual care of the remains of
Native Hawaiians, says state laws should be fully used in areas where other
graves are known to exist. Every development in the area should be required to
conduct a full archaeological survey of the site before construction begins,
Ayau said. 'In areas where there are previous histories of burials, absolutely,'
Ayau said. 'Is that too much to ask? What do we living today owe to those in the
past? Some developers would say nothing because it costs them
money.'"
And in a commentary in the Advertiser also related to ancient Hawaiian burials, prominent cultural and sovereignty leaders call for a change in leadership at Bishop Musuem. "In an era when museums worldwide are shedding their colonial pasts by working in partnership with native people, we believe Bishop Museum director William Brown has set the museum back 100 years to a time when native sacred objects were curiosities bartered and sold, and native voices were irrelevant and ignored. ... Brown directs the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, founded to honor Ke Ali'i Pauahi and her Hawaiian heritage, to house the mea kapu of the Kamehameha ruling family, to instill Kamehameha Schools students with greater pride in their culture, and operating in a time of growing Hawaiian nationalism. ... If the board wants the museum to become a vital part of the Hawaiian community, they must rid the museum of Brown immediately." Posted: Sun - June 13, 2004 at 03:05 AM |
