Notice.
AGENCY:
dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate cultural items in the
possession of the Bishop Museum,
Honolulu, HI, that meet the definition of
‘‘unassociated funerary objects’’ under
25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the cultural
items. The National Park Service is not

responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The 10 cultural items are 1 wooden
tobacco pipe, 1 stone vessel, 2 stone
marbles, 1 stone lamp, 1 clay necklace,
1 wooden poi board, 1 wooden pipe, 1
ceramic or glass bottle, and 1 stone
pounder. The cultural items were
removed from various sites on Oahu
Island, HI.
In 1918, a wooden tobacco pipe was
given to the Bishop Museum by H.E.
Cooper. The pipe was recorded as
having been found with human bones
on Cooper tract, Manoa, in 1898.
In 1923, a Kapuahi kuni anaana was
donated to the Bishop Museum by A.A.
Myer. The stone vessel was found in the
hand of a skeleton buried in the sand
during house construction in Waikiki
around 1910.
At an unknown date, two stone
marbles, possibly konane pieces, were
found near a skeleton on E.M. Ehrhorn’s
lot in Mill’S Tract, Manoa. In 1926, the
marbles were given to the Bishop
Museum by E.M. Ehrhorn.
In 1931, a stone lamp from Halawa
was given to the Bishop Museum by P.
Crackel. Accession records note that it
was located with a burial.
In 1959, a clay necklace was gifted to
the Bishop Museum by L. Kamuela. The
records state that the necklace was
found with a burial on the donor’s land
in Waianae Valley, Waianae, and that
the human remains were probably
Native Hawaiian or Native HawaiianChinese.
In 1931, a wooden poi board was
collected and donated to the Bishop
Museum by J.G. McAllister. The donor
wrote that it was found with skeletal
material in a burial cave on the Kahuku
side of Waimea River in Waimea.
In 1931, a wooden pipe found in a
cave in Niu was donated to the Bishop
Museum by J.G. McAllister. The
notation reads, ‘‘in burial cave with ‘the
famous one.’ ’’ No individual has been
identified.
In 1959, a ceramic or glass bottle was
donated to the Bishop Museum by Larry
Kamada, postmaster at the Waianae Post
Office. Mr. Kamada found the bottle in
a burial on his property in Waianae.
In 1964, a stone pounder was donated
to the Bishop Museum by Oswald
Sheather. The stone pounder was found
in a shallow burial while Mr. Sheather
was laying a gas main at King Street and
McCully in Honolulu.
Officials of the Bishop Museum have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(B), the 10 cultural items
described above are reasonably believed
to have been placed with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite

or ceremony and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native Hawaiian individual.
Officials of the Bishop Museum also
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship
of shared group identity that can be
reasonably traced between the
unassociated funerary objects and the
Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe or Native Hawaiian organization
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects should contact Betty Lou Kam,
Vice President, Cultural Resources,
Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street,
Honolulu, HI 96817, telephone (808)
848–4105 before January 28, 2009.
Repatriation of the unassociated
funerary objects to the Office of
Hawaiian Affairs may proceed after that
date if no additional claimants come
forward.
The Bishop Museum is responsible
for notifying the Office of Hawaiian
Affairs that this notice has been
published.
