Description
Two burial kapa (bark cloth) were
recently discovered within numbered
editions of a book entitled Specimens of
Hawaiian Kapa Vol I by D.R. Severson
within the UH Library system. One
edition, No. 20, 2 was found in the UHManoa (UHM) Hamilton Library,
GN432.S37, while the other edition, No.
28, was found in the UH-Hilo Mo1okini
Library, GN432.S37. All respective
numbered editions of the book (No.’s 1
to 95) were published by Severson in
1979, with No.’s 1–50 including
samples of burial kapa. UH Ma¯noa
acquired a copy (No. 20) in the same
year it was published; UH Hilo received
a donation of a copy (No. 28) in 2019.
Each book contained actual kapa
samples that Severson had gathered
over the years from various notable
collections and individuals; however,
the burial kapa was from Severson’s
personal collection. The only detail
regarding their acquisition indicates that
they were acquired from burial caves on
the Kona Coast of Hawai1i Island. There
is no way to determine if they were
illicitly acquired or not. As the book
contains traditional Hawaiian kapa
acquired during the 19th century, its
assumed that the burial kapa may have
also likely been acquired during the
same time period. Its further unknown
if these burial kapa were exclusively
made for burial or if they were personal
belongings of the deceased.

identity that can reasonably be traced
between the unassociated funerary
object and present-day Native Hawaiian
organizations listed in this notice. The
