In this episode with Hui Iwi Kuamoʻo, Halealoha Ayau and Mana Caceres talk through a case study of a successful repatriation of iwi kūpuna (Hawaiian ancestral bones) from the Duckworth Laboratory at Cambridge University, from first learning about the iwi at Cambridge to their reburial last year. This repatriation was noteworthy as the first ever successful repatriation of ancestral remains from Cambridge by any Indigenous community.
For 33 years, Hui Iwi Kuamo’o has provided care for iwi kūpuna (ancestral Hawaiian bones), moepū (funerary possessions) and mea kapu (sacred objects) through repatriation and reburial. To learn more about the history of Hui Iwi Kuamoʻo and their approach to this transformative work, check out our first episode with Halealoha and Mana: episode 28: Hui Iwi Kuamoʻo: Restoring the Ancestral Foundation.
