Passerby honked their horn for our Na Kupuna 'Iwi' may they find peace in their sleep as they rest on their aina. But, that is no longer the case because they are being raped, ravaged, and burned to meet the sense of space in a Janitors closet! What crazy actions enacted upon our people--is far from what Jesus Christ would do to any persons dead or alive!
This is an amazing experience to stand if front to Kawaiahao Church with such tenacity to say this is hewa, this is wrong! To dig our Na Kupuna our of their sleep and then strip their bodies and resting coffin of their ukana and then take these precious memories and recalculate their scientific findings. When these study's are done there is nothing stopping these grave robbers from selling these funeral objects are sold on ebay to people that collect things.!
Our na Kupuna had feathers, coins, palaoa all kinds of things buried with them! It is sad that these thieves are making out with the things in the graves.
A piece of memory object that a child put into his or her's na kupuna belongs to their family, not to a collector to display and trade for money or other things.
This is all wrong, hewa and down right stupid. The space of ignorance!
