NOTICE OF HALEAKALA BURIALS

[Federal Register: October 15, 1997 (Volume 62, Number 199)]
[Notices]
[Page 53652]
From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Inventory Completion for Native American Human Remains in the Control of the National Park Service, Haleakala National Park, Makawao, HI
AGENCY: National Park Service.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is hereby given in accordance with provisions of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003(d), of the completion of an inventory of human remains in the control of the National Park Service, Haleakala National Park, Makawao, HI.
A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by National Park Service professional staff in association with professional staff from the Bishop Museum and in consultation with representatives of the Hawai`i Island Burial Council, Hui Malama i na Kapuna o Hawai`i Nei, Kona Hawaiian Civic Club, Maui/Lana`i Island Burial Council, Moloka`I Island Burial Council, and Office of Hawaiian Affairs. All of the human remains have been curated by the Anthropology Department of the Bernice P. Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawai`i since their initial recovery.
Between 1920 and 1962, human remains representing at least 16 individuals were recovered from three sites, located within park boundaries in and around Haleakala crater, during legally authorized fieldwork and excavations. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects were present. The dates for the remains have not been established but they probably date from both before and after contact was established between Native Hawaiians and Europeans in A.D. 1778.
In 1920, human remains representing two individuals were recovered from Na Piko Haua, located within the boundaries of Haleakala crater, during legally authorized fieldwork by Kenneth Emory of the Bishop Museum. The human remains are two individual bundles, wrapped in blue cotton fabric, dark brown hair and paper and tied with white thread. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. On the basis of information provided by a local guide in 1920, the bundles' state of preservation, and the presence of imported cotton cloth, these navel string bundles probably date from the late 19th to early 20th century. These bundles were donated to the Bishop Museum in 1924 by the collector, who identified them as ``portions of two navel strings [umbilical cords] wrapped in hair and cloth.''
Aside from facilities clearly of 20th century origin, virtually all evidence of human use and occupation of the Haleakala crater area is of Native Hawaiian origin. Available evidence indicates that Native Hawaiians are the only group to bury their dead in the crater region. In addition, the manner of burial of the human remains (in or near Native Hawaiian structures, in a lava tube, etc.) is consistent with Native Hawaiian practices during both pre- and post-contact periods. Further, the Native Hawaiian practice of burying the dead in or near their home community suggests that all burials found in or near Haleakala crater on the island of Maui are of people from Maui communities.
With regard to the navel string bundles, one of the Native Hawaiian men who accompanied Emory in 1920 stated that his own umbilical cord had been hidden at Na Piko Haua. The practice of depositing umbilical cords in at least this one location in the Haleakala crater was a Native Hawaiian practice in effect until ca. 1920. As in the case of burials, it was customary for Native Hawaiians to deposit umbilical cords in the general vicinity of the community where the birth had taken place. This practice was confirmed by the Native Hawaiian guide. Based on this information, the navel string bundles in the collection are considered to be from infants born in communities on the slopes of Haleakala.
Based on the above-mentioned information, officials of the National Park Service have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the human remains listed above represent the physical remains of at least 18 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the National Park Service have also determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3003 (2),
there is a relationship of shared group identity which can reasonably be traced between these Native American human remains and the Maui/Lana`i Island Burial Council.
This notice has been sent to officials of the Hawai`i Island Burial Council, Hui Malama i na Kapuna o Hawai`i Nei, Kona Hawaiian Civic Club, Maui/Lana`i Island Burial Council, Moloka`i Island Burial Council, and Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Representatives of any other Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with these human remains and associated funerary objects should contact Don Reeser, Superintendent, Haleakala National Park, PO Box 369, Makawao, Maui, HI, 96768; telephone: (808) 572-9306, before [thirty days after publication in the Federal Register]. Repatriation of the human remains to the Maui / Lana`i Island Burial Council will begin after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
Dated: October 6, 1997.
Francis P. McManamon,
Departmental Consulting Archeologist,
Manager, Archeology and Ethnography Program.

Wilmont Kamaunu Kahaialii This notice appears to have been posted by the National Park Service in 1997. I do not like the reference that the burials were "Native American" burials.

Wilmont Kamaunu Kahaialii It is another attempt to reclassify Kanaka Maoli, living or dead, from an indigenous reference, to a native American reference

Johanna Kamaunu Under NAGPRA would not Bishop Museum have to repatriate all remains and funerary objects? The museum is an American museum in Hawaii. It is not a kanaka mueum nor would there be such a collection. Don't need to respond here. Email or phone 250-6293 at your convenience

Hinano Kaleleiki Wilmont it's Time to rock and roll. War is not what we pick it's what they prefer. But there are many ways of war. We will set our Court and justice system as well and call them to the battlefield. Simple as soon as possible the better need people to step to drum beat and stay in step and in tuoch.

Jacki Hancock On a side note, when I was a missionary in the Nu'uanu area in 1982-83, I unwittingly tracted into the home of Dr. Emory and attempted a few different visits to teach him the gospel. It was an interesting series of visits, but bore no true fruits. He appeared to me to be lonely and grateful for the unexpected audience of two missionaries, with whom he could intellectually share his archaeological knowledge.
