Construction destroys ancient burial sites #hawaii #kapu #shorts

[timothyprice]

I lived in Hawaii in the late 70s. Everytime I go back since then, it makes you want to cry. All the green has turned to condos and stripmalls.

[carolinetalksdifferent]

I feel you homie, as a native American, this is sad. Hawaii needs to have a law to scan for burial ground before starting any type of construction or something

[emmythorn]

What people have done to Hawaii is disgusting

[samurachi]

Money always corrupts and takes all we have

[yourmastanalahqueen]

I wish the people of Hawaii could get a bill passed where government cannot touch such precious sites.

[GreyMood]

Hawaiians are learning how much American government cares for indigenous people. They should just see what they did to the Native Americans as example

[dutchbrotherfan]

Since the leadership in Hawaii is corrupt this will continue. The spirits in Hawaii are no joke, even the dirt stuck on a tractor that is carried away will bring misfortune where ever it ends up

As a part native American here in the 48 I tell you once the rich set there eyes on what you have they will stop at nothing to get it. Even by deadly means they poisoned my ancestors then took our land then gave us a tiny reservation in the corner of the state.

This makes me so sad. They have such a beautiful respectful culture to nature & their elders.

[michaelmedley]

These are First Nation people. Render them the same respect you would Native Americans on the Mainland.

[EVOINCARNATE]

This stirs a deep deep anger from me
The fact my folks came from hawai’i and were native Hawaiian this angers me to my core
You don’t have to live on the islands to see how evil this is

[FroggieButt]

Burial sites should never be destroyed. So immoral!

[Pony_Scavenger]

It’s a felony to move it or touch it, if you are unrelated. Hold them accountable

[PaidWin]

They don't care about your graves or your burials, your people or it's history. They'll run your land empty, and they'll blame you for it.

[SweetDeltaDawn]

I just commented this, but I want to spread it everywhere. Just before the fires, they wanted to make the island an new kind of "smart city", but we're denied quickly and definitely because practically the whole island was under preservation. Now the quick rebuild!?! And mark my words what was considered preserved will no longer be protected 😢

[Kyle-evfk]

Hard to believe people are allowed to develop Hawaii. I guess for enough money anything is possible.

[stevesmith]

Totally respect the native Hawaiians. I Lived there for years. It'stheirs, and they deserve the protections. Especially in cases like this. Please tell the media to stop making Hawaii the flavor of the day, though.

[joshuabullard]

It’s funny how nobody is bringing up the lack of government intervention

[jaimefranco]

Is disgusting the way the government is treating the indigenous people they are the natives of Hawaii please if any entity can help them please or if we need to United the same way like the black lives matter then let's do it this is outrageous this is injustice please let's get together to make the difference and to stop this terrorist government we have right now 😡

Sadly, this is happening island wide on multiple island's. Then people get surprised when Tutu claimed back high priced sections of Puna and went around the Hawaiians house..
