Our debut last week of “Grave Matters,” our interview with Kamuela Kala`i on the callous disregard of iwi kupuna, or ancestral bones being dug up at Kawaiaha`o church in Honolulu has brought one of the largest outpourings of viewer reaction weʻve ever had.
Digging up remains of their own parishioners in order to build a new social hall without notifying ahead of time the families of those buried there has sparked community outrage, protests, and even arrests.
Those who watched our interview with Kamuela responded with some of the strongest language and reaction to any of our shows to date.
And everyone has asked the same question, “what is the community doing to stop this?”

“Grave Matters – A Visit With Kamuela Kala`i”
Imagine you received a call early one morning and the person on the other end of the phone told you your ancestors were being dug up from their graves. Drop everything and race down there? Thatʻs what Kamuela Kala`i did and not a moment too soon. She discovered bones of her relatives buried at Kawaiaha`o church were about to be removed to make way for a social hall, and no one in the church considered it wrong. Join us in our fascinating interview with Kamuela who literally braved arrest to protect her familyʻs remains in an issue thatʻs shaking the Hawaiian community to itʻs very core – Watch It Here
