NO KA ILINA BURIAL NOTICES

KAWAIAHA'O Kawaiaha'o Church has issued a notice requesting information regarding the burials located on two of its properties: the Kawaiaha'o-Mānoa Cemetery and the Kawaiaha'o Church Cemetery. Because the church is undertaking a major update of its cemetery records, it is especially interested in hearing from descendants and other persons with an interest in the deceased persons interred in the two cemeteries. The kāhea i nā 'ohana, or eall to families, is being coordinated by Ku'iwalu, the cultural consultant of Kawaiaha'o Church. Anyone with information about any of the marked or unmarked burial sites located in either of the cemeteries should contact Lani or Dawn of Ku'iwalu at 5393580. WARD VILLAGE NOTICE TO INTERESTED PARTIES IS HEREBY GIVEN that unmarked burial sites eontaining the human skeletal remains of what are believed to be nine individuals were discovered by Cultural Surveys Hawai'i, ine., during archaeological inventory survey excavations related

to the development of the approximately 5-acre Ward Village Shops project area. The project area comprises TMK: [1] 2-3-5: 013 -017, 022, & 023, whieh are bounded by Kamake'e, Queen, and Auahi Streets, in the ahupua'a of Honolulu, Kona District, Island of O'ahu. The project proponent is General Growth Properties, ine., contact: Jeffrey Dinsmore, 1240 Ala Moana Blvd, Suite 601, Honolulu, HI 96816, Tel. (808) 591-8411. As yet, no State Inventory of Historic Properties numbers have been assigned for these burial deposits. The makai portion of the project area was formerly a portion of Land Commission Award (LCA) 387, known by the plaee name "Kukuluaeo," and awarded to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The mauka portion of the project area was formerly a portion of Grant 3194, known by plaee name "Kolawalu," and awarded to Kalae and Kalaua. Grant 3194 was a traditional Hawaiian fishpond with adjacent house sites. There are no kuleana claims within the project area. Kuleana claims in the project area vicinity include LCA 10463:1 and 2 to Napela, LCA 1903 to Lolopi, and LCA 3169:1 to Koalele. Following the procedures of Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 6E-43, and Hawai'i Administrative Rules (HAR) Chapter 13-300, the

remains were determined to be over 50 years old and likely Native Hawaiian. The project proponent would prefer to relocate the human remains to another location either within or immediately adjacent to the project area; however, the decision to preserve in plaee or relocate these previously identified human remains shall be made by the O'ahu Island Burial Council in consultation with any identified lineal and/or cultural descendants, per the requirements of HAR Chapter 13-300-33. The remains' proper treatment shall occur in accordance with HAR Chapter 13-300-38. The State Historic Preservation Division is requesting persons having any knowledge of the identity or history of these human skeletal remains to immediately contact Ms. Pi'ilani Chang at the State Historic Preservation Division/Department of Land and Natural Resources (SHPD/DLNR), located at 555 Kakuhihewa Building, 601 Kamokila Boulevard, Kapolei, Hawai'i 96707 [Tel. (808) 692-8015; Fax (808) 692-8020] to present information regarding appropriate treatment of the unmarked human remains. All interested parties should respond within 30 days of this notice and provide information to SHPD/DLNR adequately demonstrating lineal descent from these specific burials or cultural descent from ancestors buried in the vicinity of this project.
