"The Living Water of OHA- OHA B-oard Asks: Reconsider Honokahua Hotel Permit Editor's Note: As this article went to press, Governor Waihe'e had met with Native Ha- waiians protesting the excavation of burials at Honokahua, and he had called for disinterment to stop. Administration officials were reportedly working with Kapalua Land Co. to resolve the sit- uation. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the Maui community group Hui Alanui 0 Makena are asking the Maui Planning Commission to re- consider the shoreline management area (SMA) permit allowing construction of a luxury hotel at Honokahua, Maui. Archaeological excavations have revealed that the proposed hotel is being built over a major Hawaiian burial ground. At its December 15, 1988 board meeting, the OHA Trustees expressed deep concern at the pre- viously unknown extent of the burial site, and the disinterment of the remains of close to 1,000 indi- viduals in the sand dunes at the site of Kapalua Land Company's proposed Ritz-Carlton Hotel. OHA Vice Chair Rod Burgess said, "With this information, and at least several months of exca- vation anticipated-it is imperative to review past permit approvals.

Almost 700 persons attended the convention-club delegates, members and guests. Dedicated to the memory of late AHCC presi- dent, Benson W.K.
