Establishes a program to relocate and restore Hawaiian burial sites threatened by coastal erosion.
The bill establishes an inter-division program within the Department of Land and Natural Resources to address the relocation and restoration of Hawaiian burial sites threatened by coastal erosion. The program will examine the fiscal impacts of moving and relocating iwi, the skeletal remains of Native Hawaiians, to inland locations that maintain genealogical or cultural connections. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs will cover costs related to the movement and relocation of iwi, while the Department of Land and Natural Resources will handle non-Hawaiian human remains.
