The accomplishment of my children was gained by all of them graduating from high school, college - one getting a masters in engineering, another a pediatric surgeon, an English teacher, writers etc and only a few grandchildren vs cousins wit minimal education and choke kids... life is truly a mystery!

Kai Markell

Reliving and Sharing the Trauma. 

Many of the newer condominium projects in Kaka'ako have encountered unmarked burials of both historic and prehistoric origin. 

Archaeological survey testing is either absent or ineffective in design leaving most burials to be encountered during actual construction and thus subject to quick departmental decisions on disposition, rather than island burial council deliberations with descendant input.

As can be seen here, piles are driven into the soft swampy sandy substrate to provide foundations and anchors for the concrete monstrosities. 

Former wetlands, fishponds, marshes and lo'i kalo, filled in to make more sellable land in the past like much of Waikīkī. 

Often when the pile cap is excavated to pour concrete to secure the pile, burials are discovered only at that point, such as the pile that cut a coffin and a person in half taking out their upper body.

In the area of about five new condo projects alone, I am aware of over 200 individuals existing in both encountered bodies and suspected burial pits. 

Former coastal lands where much ancient and historic habitation existed, primarily kanaka 'oiwi in origin. In historic times, there were camps here, such as the Hawaiian camp where Gabby Pahinui and others lived.

Many high ranking ali'i burials have been encountered dispersed among the various projects, including over in Kewalo.  Burials with lei niho palaoa (whale tooth necklaces with human hair) and other royal status possessions.

I remember a little girl, one of the last burials found in a cemetery of at least 31 burials of mixed coffins and ancient kupuna, at the Queen Street Extension Project which took Queen Street to Ala Moana Center. She was found with a still vegetative pū'olo, or ho'okupu (ʻālana) bundle, which was placed upon her chest, and which quickly disintegrated when exposed to the Sun and air, after being intact for over 100 years.

She also was wearing a small lei niho palaoa and had a beautiful kūpe'e palaoa, or whale ivory bracelet on her wrist. A beautiful little Royal Princess totally destroyed as her perfectly formed and fragile iwi was turned into a wet bag of unrecognizable crumbly mush when disinterred.

As more and more foreigners and investors acquire multi-million dollar properties and move here, we end up destroying and forsaking what Mary Kawena Pukui defined as "our most cherished possession" as a people. The iwi, the precious bones of our kūpuna, our ancestors. 

Our very connection to them in the Spiritual Realm.

All in the name of progress and pursuing the "American Dream" while we destroy the very foundations which gave us Life, and which Promise to continue to give our children and the descendants Life, if we Truly Honor our Kuleana as a Lāhui.

Quickly vanishing into oblivion...

As I close my eyes at night, I can see twenty-years ago at Kaka'ako just like it was yesterday. 

I can also see thirty-years ago too and everything since then just as clearly. Hundreds of cases across the islands. Thousands of kūpuna.

Like the large male kupuna buried here in Kaka'ako with his most prized possession, a Beautiful large knobbed pōhaku ku'i 'ai, or poi pounder,  lovingly placed upon his chest for his Eternal Sleep.

Violently awoken...

I remember trying to gently put him back together with his poi pounder as I prepared him for reburial, apologizing as I wept, in the silent darkened room. Just as I wept trying to put the lei niho palaoa and kūpe'e palaoa back with the little Princess and her destroyed body.

Kaumaha noho'i...
Great is the Heaviness...

So sickening brother! I'm sobober it .. I have been in so much dismay lately. The building and selling off don't stop... we are in water crisis... and yet they still build. And now Kamehameha schools is entertaining still the idea of more building. They plan to build yet more high rises in kalauao behind pearlride mall and also to the side on the ridge that decided waimalu and kalauao.... and then as a nail in the coffin they would make our lo'i. One of the very last loi in ewa... a f%@#in mini park for the wealthy there.

Trying to text through my tears… I felt them when the old Newspaper Agency building got torn down to be replaced by two towers. The second tower wasn’t supposed to be, which I protested along side some friends and ‘ohana. They’re (our ancestors) not happy. How do we go forth and try to make it pono?

Well these are all criminal violations and should have been stopped immediately....so who claimed the iwi? who are the Allodial landowners to the properties? What happened to their artifacts? those persons will not sleep well...........because all disturbances should have been posted and shared with kanaka maoli........ sad Kai that you have been observing all the wrongs done to our tutu, etc.......Mike Lee was a good pal to interact with............i think you may need some help instead of standing with so much uwe all the time............. we meet at Princess Ruth Keelikolani's Palace /formerly Central Intermediate School on Tuesdays & Fridays 10:30 am - 2pm and welcome those interested in such projects and setting up a committee connecting with Kai from the Kingdom of Hawaii............from one of Kamehameha's descendants and Kalola descendant, the next-of-kin to Bernice Pauahi Bishop.
