objects listed above are not sacred

objects, unassociated funerary objects,

or objects of cultural patrimony. Based

on consultation with Native Hawaiian

organizations and anthropological

evidence, the Bishop Museum has

determined that, pursuant to Section

10.2 (d)(1), these human remains were

not freely given or naturally shed by the

individuals from whose bodies they

were obtained. Officials of the Bishop

Museum have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the

human remains listed above represent

the physical remains of a minimum of

34 individuals of Native American

ancestry. Lastly, officials of the Bishop

Museum have determined that,

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is

a relationship of shared group identity

which can be reasonably traced between

these Native American human remains

and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Hui

Malama I Na Kupuna ’O Hawai’i Nei,

The Princess Nahoa Olelo ’O

Kamehameha Society, and Friends of

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains from

the Battle of Nu’uanu in the

Possession of the Bernice Pauahi

Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d), of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains from the Battle of Nu’uanu in

the possession of the Bernice Pauahi

Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Bishop Museum

professional staff in consultation with

representatives of Hui Malama I Na

Kupuna ’O Hawai’i Nei, Hawaii Island

Burial Council, Kauai/Nihau Island

Burial Council, Maui/Lanai Island

Burial Council, Molokai Island Burial

Council, O’ahu Burial Committee, Office

of Hawaiian Affairs, Nahoa ’Olelo O

Kamehameha Society, and the Hawaiian

In 1884, a kahili incorporating the

human remains of at least three

individuals was given to Charles Reed

Bishop by Queen Emma. This kahili is

part of the original collections of the

Bishop Museum.

In 1889, a kahili incorporating the

human remains of at least three

individuals was donated to the Bishop

Museum by Gorham Gilman, who had

received it as a gift from Paki, the father

of Bernice Pauahi Bishop.

Oral history, historical documents,

and museum records indicate these

kahili incorporate the remains of at least

three ali’i: Ka’iana, Kalanikupule, and

Kaneoneo. This evidence also states

these individuals died in or as a result

of the battle of Nu’uanu in 1795. Some

documents and records mention the

kahili include remains of ‘‘other great

chiefs’’ killed at Nu’uanu, however, the

Museum has been unable to find any

other names attached to these kahili.

These kahili are consistent with Native

Hawaiian practice and material culture.

No lineal descendants have been

identified.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Bishop

Museum have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (b) (4–6) the

two objects listed above are not sacred

or objects of cultural patrimony. Based

on consultation with Native Hawaiian

organizations and anthropological
