So on our recent trip to Oahu I found a few slides.
Posted this one already
Here are the other 2 on my handheld slide viewer
Couldn't make out the words under the photos
Were they Hawaiian or something else
Needed to fix my slide projector
Fixed it
Wow
Awesome
Better pics and here's what was written under the photos

Burial Caskets---in 1960 scientists carefully opened the caskets of
Liloa and Lonoikamakahiki and found human bones and the following:
A set of pieces from a bracelet; a malo of woven cloth, the material unknown;
an iron stick with a wooden handle; human teeth with holes bored in them;
pieces of tapa.

Burial Caskets---The unique sennit caskets shown were said to contain
bones of Liloa and Lonoikamakahiki. In 1858 the two caskets,
along with the bones of the 23 chiefs were transferred to a mausoleum
on the Palace grounds in Honolulu then later to the new mausoleum
built in Nuuanu in about 1885. Finally in 1918 the two caskets were
placed in the Bishop Museum where scientific care could be used
to preserve them.
