Access To Burial Cave Sought
Author: Vicki Viotti Source: Honolulu Advertiser (HI)
Title: ACCESS TO BURIAL CAVE SOUGHT
One of the groups with a claim on rare Hawaiian artifacts now sealed in the Big Island's Kawaihae cave complex has filed a formal request to enter the caves and see if the items are there, citing concerns about recent reports of other artifacts being offered for sale.
But a policy barring access to the cave is unlikely to be changed until the federal probe into the artifact sale yields more information, said the head of the state Hawaiian Homes Commission, which controls the land where the caves are located.
The letter seeks permission to enter the caves to "confirm the presence of and determine the condition of the cultural items formerly in the possession of the Bishop Museum," according to the letter, which Suganuma signed as "authorized representative" of the majority of the 11 groups submitting competing claims on the objects taken from the Kawaihae cave complex in 1905.
