Monday Jun 13, 2022
An interview about protecting burials and challenging illegal sand mining with Clare Apana, Cody Nemet Tuivaiti, and Uʻi Hotta of Mālama Kakanilua.
Mālama Kakanilua is presently engaged in direct action resistance/protection of ʻiwi kūpuna and aims to stop the Grand Wailea Resort from constructing 151 hotel units, swimming pools, new wings, and injection wells in known Kanaka Maoli burial grounds on Maui. The hui stands with other Kanaka Maoli groups pursuing this case to ensure that ʻiwi kūpuna are protected, safe, and at peace and to halt the Grand Waileaʻs hotel expansion efforts due to numerous environmental violations and dismissal of Kanaka Maoli claims to defend the ʻiwi and traditional and customary practices.
