Bishop Museum's claim will be weighed
The
Advertiser
reports
that "A panel that monitors a federal law
protecting native burials will consider today whether to hear challenges to the
Bishop Museum's qualifications as a 'Native Hawaiian organization' under the
law. ... Last month museum officials asserted that the Bishop qualifies as a
Native Hawaiian organization under the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act, and thus can make claims on cultural objects."
