Desecration at Kawaiha`o Church- Indigenous Politics Radio Program Print
Wednesday, 16 March 2011

 


Join J Kehaulani Kauanui, for an episode that will focus on Kawaiha'o Church in Honolulu, Hawai'i, and issues of burial desecration. 

Guests on the program will be Ka'anohi Kaleikini and Kamuela Kala'i-both of whom are involved in ongoing protests to stop the desecration. They were arrested on Sunday, March 13th, when they approached members attending services to remember and honor na 'iwi kupuna (the human remains of Native Hawaiian ancestors). Officials at the church have already sanctioned the digging and removal of 'iwi kupuna, which are currently stored in the church basement.  Now their plan to remove more burials to expand  the church has been sanctioned by a judge, as well as the state Department of Health. Listen in to learn about the case, the cultural principles that guide the women's resistance, and the role the state Department of Land and Natural Resources has played as well as the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Original air-date: 3-15-11.
