IWI KUPUNA DESECRATION - To read more, click on the links below...
A BRIEF HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF BURIAL ISSUES
"Over many decades, iwi kūpuna would literally and spiritually become part of their burial lands. In this way, kānaka ‘ōiwi remain forever connected to kulāiwi (“bone plains” or ancestral lands). Kulāiwi feed our souls and comfort our na‘au. These lands speak to us, they sustain us, they resonate with us because the same mana that flows through them courses through our iwi (bones) and koko (blood).
But following two centuries of foreign impacts, these kulāiwi are often no longer controlled by ‘ohana who once lived on those ‘āina. Disease and depopulation, improper seizure of lands and the illegal overthrow of the sovereign Hawaiian Kingdom created a spiral of negative outcomes – including removal of many ʻohana from their kulāiwi." - Kamakako'i: The Cutting Edge brought to you by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA)

"State Representative Angus McKelvey (District 10 – West Maui, Māʻalaea, North Kīhei) said, 'The 6-3 ruling makes it very clear that the Clean Water Act requires a permit for the nitrogen rich discharge from Maui County’s injection wells that make its way into the near shore ocean waters. The Courts ruling also dispels the claim that the clean drinking water standard is not the standard to be solely applied.'"
