If you find bones at a burial ground, YOU DON'T MOVE THEM. You put them back when you found them, even if it's under a Wal-Mart. It's one thing to disturb them, but moving them and having them interred somewhere else is the ultimate disrespect. That's Hawaiian culture.
Our H-3 Freeway cuts through about 5 different burial sites. I get chills just driving on it.
The State doesn't do jack shit when it comes to Native Hawaiian issues. That's why we have organizations like the Legal Corp., Alu Like, and `Iliulaokalani that lobby for Native Hawaiian rights and recognition.
Cynthia Lin can just kiss my ass. There's no respect for keeping remains in "air-conditioned trailers".
This whole "Wal-Mart/Sam's Club Super Block" was a bad idea from the beginning because they're building this shit in an already congested part of town. With the traffic from existing business AND residential areas, it's just going to create too many headaches. The last thing we need is another fucking Wal-Mart.
When they found the bones, they should have stopped things altogether. I'm no kupuna nor am I kahuna, but I wouldn't be surprised if all hell breaks loose in the store.
If I didn't have to work yesterday, I would have gladly been one of those protestors outside.
