Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, three individuals, were 

removed from Honolulu County, HI. 

Records for Accession 100FA indicate 

that these human remains were removed 

from an unknown location on the Island 

of Oahu and were donated by a private 

party to the UOMNCH (formerly 

Museum of Natural History) in 1940. 

The human remains, which are very 

fragmentary, belong to one young adult 

and one middle aged adult, both of 

unknown sex, and one individual, 

possibly female, 12–18 years old. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

In 1993, other human remains from 

Accession 100FA that belonged to two 

individuals (catalogued as 11–107 and 

11–108) were repatriated by UOMNCH 

to Hui Ma ̄lama I Na ̄ Ku ̄puna O Hawai’I 

Nei. In 2023, a skeletal remain 

belonging to one of those individuals 

was repatriated to Hui Iwi Kuamo’o (the 

successor of Hui Ma ̄lama I Na ̄ Ku ̄puna 

O Hawai’I Nei).
