Ruling on bones at Wal-Mart site to be revisited


The Advertiser reports that "The O'ahu Island Burial Council has been told it must reconsider a ruling that gave one family greater clout in deciding the fate of more than 60 sets of human remains found on the site of the Ke'eaumoku Street Wal-Mart store." At issue is one family (Keana'aina) that was designated as "lineal descendants" and another (Kaleikini) that was designated as "cultural descendants" who disagreed on how the bones should be re-interred.

Meanwhile, a trial is expected to begin in Circuit Court on July 18 on a lawsuit that alleges human remains unearthed during construction were mishandled. Claims against Wal-Mart were dismissed by a judge but the case is proceeding on claims against the state and city.
