Ice stealing Hawaiian history


As Doug mentioned in the comments to a previous post on the artifacts on Big Island, here's the lede of the cover story for Midweek this week:
Ice tearing apart the fabric of Hawaii has been a theme in two recent films by Edgy Lee, but in her newest effort she plans to show how it is also stealing native Hawaiian history.

Lee and her collaborator Matt Levi have uncovered the startling fact that methamphetamine users are now using remnants of Hawaiian history to satiate their appetites.

"What has come to light is the desecration of burial sites and caves," says Levi, who has spoken with one of the perpetrators. "People looting, raiding and trying to sell what they have stolen. There is also a link to crystal meth users and dealers getting involved because of the high return that artifacts can bring."

One of the four stories to be told in the pilot episode of The Levi Report Nov. 22 on KHON2.
