Bishop Museum as Native Hawaiian organization


Edward Halealoha Ayau has a commentary in the Star-Bulletin, signed by 23 other Hawaiian leaders, making the case against the Bishop Museum becoming a Native Hawaiian organization pursuant to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). There is also a commentary on the same page by Ayau and Kunani Nihipali regarding investigations into the recent theft of artifacts from Kanupa Cave on the Big Island which turned up on the black market.

Meanshile, A. Van Horn Diamond, chairman of the O'ahu Burial Council, has an commentary in the Advertiser, in response to the same commentary above by Ayau and the other Hawaiian leaders which was published earlier in the Advertiser, on what he sees as the possible advantages of Bishop Museum becoming a Native Hawaiian organization pursuant to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).

The Advertiser has an article on the sacredness of Hawaiian burials.

And the Star-Bulletin editorial weighs in on the side of Bishop Museum, and favors artifacts being protected there rather than returned to caves.
