Agreement Reached in Wal-Mart Burial Flap
Posted on: Thursday, 21 July 2005, 18:00 CDT
A tentative settlement has been reached in the Wal-Mart Hawaiian burial dispute.
The retail giant, the city of Honolulu and the State Historic Preservation Commission were accused of violating state laws that protect human remains and grave sites while building a new shopping complex.
Under the settlement, the state and city will take precautions for finding human remains in areas that are designated previously discovered, or areas where construction has previously occurred.
About 44 sets of bones were found on the Wal-Mart site after construction began in December 2002, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin said Thursday. It had been the scene of several projects before Wal-Mart and it was believed no bones were still there.
