 Welcome to the Hawaiian Broadcast - Studio 1A - Ka'ai of Liloa: 'Ilio'ulaokalani vs. Kawananakoa
Abigail Kawananakoa appalling and disrespectful to the kupuna who have gone before us, and for using `Aha P?nana Leo, Inc.’s fundraising effort to advocate her position on this issue.” Takamine went on to say, there are other cultural objects in the museum that would be more appropriate for an educational public display.
However, Kawananakoa is adamant that the funerary objects will continue to be a part of the display to the public at this evening’s fundraiser.
Kawananakoa has chosen to sanction the actions of the Bishop Museum (cutting open the ka`ai, separating the iwi and moep?, and exposing them in the public) and chooses to go against the religious beliefs and cultural traditions of our kupuna.
