Treatment of Iwi Protested at Kawaiahao

By /
Dozens of Native Hawaiians and supporters (including UH Manoa students) sign-waved and shouted at cars at the busy intersection of King Street and Punchbowl midday Wednesday (Feb. 15).

The reason: to call attention to alleged mistreatment of Hawaiian burial remains at Kawaiahao Church.

A judge rejected a lawsuit about the matter last month, but it is on appeal.
