	Curator of Historic Preserve Sues NELHA Over Loss of Job (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		From late 1993 until July of this year, the curator, Alena Kaiokekoa, had a contract with NELHA to be curator of a small archaeological and cultural preserve at Keahole.
		As he explains it, after NELHA was established by the Legislature, it filed articles of incorporation with the state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.
		NELHA claims Kaiokekoa's caretakers were really members of his family and friends and that the overnight stays constituted occupancy of the preserve - which was not anticipated in the curator agreement.

		NELHA has unilaterally taken this action, which I see as a danger to my family members who are buried on this land.
