I think that important historical artifacts belong to the greater community, not just the descendents of their creators.

Well put - I think you may have changed my mind, that and the issue that the Bishop Museum is closer than the Soloman Islands.

reminds me of how the state works nowadays:
it condemn land and thru eminent domain, turns private property , ranchland, beachfront, lonhgheld private land owned by kama''aina for decades, and turns it into a public park. For the 'greater community"
They pave it over, paint parking spot lines, erect ugly blue signs written by accountants and liars I mean lawyers; "the following is prohibited"
and set up permanent light fixtures which shine glaring lite all thru the night in a north shore area which was beautiful as it was. and is now ruined. mainlanders may diagree, being accustomed to this. The state of hawaii creates much blight and ruins Hawaii. It is the enemy of native Hawaiians to a large degree.
