Native Hawaiians are protesting the Bishop Museum’s plan to “define itself as a native Hawaiian organization under the terms of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990. NAGPRA was enacted to provide procedures for museums to return ancestral bones and four classes of objects to Native Americans and Hawaiians.” The museum believes it can claim ownership of Hawaiian artifacts if it is considered a native organization. Critics disagree: “This is extremely colonial and paternal.”
