If the allegations are true that this native Hawaiian group is selling these artifacts on the black market, this is yet another native entity that cannot resist the lucrative lure of selling of one's artifacts, Egyptians, Mayans, poachers across all boundaries, and now this, allegedly. It may be that the Bishop Museum can now skip its sham that it is a native Hawaiian entity and rest upon the following argument: "DeSoto Brown, a Hawaiian, scholar and collection manager of the museum's archives, was more blunt: "This is why we have museums: to preserve, safeguard, and keep valuable artifacts. Additionally, when artifacts are in museums, others can see them and have access to appropriate levels and learn."
