SPRINGER:Thank you. One last question, Mr. Chair? One last question? <br />FUJIKAWA:Go ahead. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. Are there known family burials on the family land in <br />Kohanaiki? <br />VINCENT:Not that I know of. Back in, when that Queen K was being <br />established over here, my son was working for the State under Hugh Ono. They had a <br />survey made all in that area; and I think my son had those who were working for <br />BishopMuseum go and make a fast inspection of the area. They found no bones on the <br />property. However, if there’s any on there, I don’t know. <br />In the old days Hawaiians would take their bones from the Alii and it was hidden where <br />no one knew where they were. And this is where Kamehameha lies, somewhere along <br />the coastline over here on Kealakekua. <br />FUJIKAWA:Any questions, Commissioners? <br />VINCENT:Now I’m not objecting to a crematory being put in on the East end <br />over here. All I’m saying is that if he can keep it out of our ahupuaa, that’d be fine with <br />me, right in there. <br />FUJIKAWA:So you can, on record, show an exact location of where, where in <br />that area that you can do the burning of the human body? <br />VINCENT:Well, the -. <br />FUJIKAWA:It’s a big area. <br />VINCENT:Yeah, the ahupuaa, that means the section of Kohanaiki. And it <br />goes all the way from the ocean all the way up to the top of the mountain. <br />FUJIKAWA:That’s the whole -? <br />VINCENT:Yeah, the whole area. Now I’m not objecting if they put the <br />crematory down the old dump over there, close to that. That’ll be fine, yeah, if they <br />needed one over here on this end. <br />FUJIKAWA:Commissioners, you have any questions? Commissioner Smith? <br />SMITH:None. <br />FUJIKAWA:If not, Mr. Wong, you may continue. <br />16 <br /> <br />
