Rethink order to return artifacts, group asks judge
Author: Mike Gordon
Title: Rethink order to return artifacts, group asks judge
A Native Hawaiian group fighting to keep 83 ancient funerary objects buried and hidden on the Big Island asked a federal judge yesterday to reconsider an earlier order to return them, saying it has compelling information that needs to be reviewed.
Hui Malama I Na Kupuna O Hawai'i Nei, which lost an appeal to the original order on Monday, stressed two points in its motion: that the sealed cave where the items are buried is too dangerous to open and that a Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation review committee recently stated that the objects should remain buried.
In 2000, Bishop Museum loaned the items to Hui Malama for a year, but ever since the group has refused to return them. The group was ordered in September by U.S. District Judge David Ezra to return the items. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that decision after pondering it for less than a week.
