LOL-- I don't think Hawaiian burial customes would occupy even a passing comment in most U.S. history books. Our dead are buried in any number of places . . . the sand dunes, natural caves and even in our own homes. (Though most would rather they be buried in the vicinity.) We believe the bones of our ancestors have great mana and so must be protected. It is the kuleana (responsibility) of the living to care for and to protect ohana burial sites . . . and so maintaining the integrity of the clan. We don't burn our dead (and we certainly don't throw them in the volcanoes); it is only worshippers of the shark god who throw their dead into the sea. Hawaii is pretty small when you also consider the encroaching lava from the "active" islands. There's not a whole lot of room . . . hence we prefer that we remain "undeveloped."

We are very superstitious about our dead. For instance, we get really upset if we unexpectedly witness a funeral procession. Unless precautions are taken, it is said the dead will continue to walk the same path. I am certainly not going to question what my parents and grandparents believe. I've seen too many strange things that it would be ridiculous . . . not to believe.

The attack on Pearl Harbor helped bury a lot of people on the island. You really are clueless aren't you.

Most of the dead (around 2400 US military) were entombed in the ships Arizona, Oklahoma & Utah so a lot of their bodies were not actually buried on Hawaiian land. So its not me who's clueless, sir.

Whut precautions do you mean, Frito? And is it bad luck to unexpectedly witness a funeral procession?

It is thought to be. I've seen people throw stones at the marchers . . . not to hurt the procession but to distract the ghosts.

If they could retrieve those bodies from the destroyed ships at Pearl, they would have sent them back to their families. I wasn't talking about the soldiers, Langers, I was speaking about the generations of native* Hawaiians buried at the islands. *Native blood is much diluted although the culture remains much in the mind of the younger Hawaiians who have not left for the mainland USA.

I liked it how you responded to Langers in a positve way Frito Freddie. I don't know a lot of people who talk with much care.
