SAFE HERITAGE

In February Hawaii’s Bishop Museum turned over rare Hawaiian artifacts to Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai‘i Nei in accoradance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Hui Malama officials told museum staff the artifacts were reburied in a Big Island cave. But now some critics say the items should go back to the Honolulu museum because of concerns over their security. – Honolulu Advertiser
