#repatriation

This is the largest collection of iwi kūpuna the Hawaiian delegation is receiving on its five-stop journey in Germany and Austria. The final repatriation ceremony will be held on February 14 at the Vienna Natural History Museum. The delegation will return home to Hawaiʻi on February 15. Arrangments have been made with the appropriate parties to rebury the iwi kūpuna on their islands of origin, so they may finally return to their moe loa (eternal sleep).

During his inaugural address, Gov. Ige focused on three specific areas–Education, Housing and Sustainability–saying, “I believe our legacy will rest on how well we meet the challenges of the 21st century, and how well we begin to transform our economy.”

Governor David Ige shares his thoughts on housing, homelessness and cost of living in Hawaiʻi.

VP Mike Pence plans to travel to Hawaiʻi on Aug. 1, 2018 to participate in a ceremony, to receive remains of American service members from the Korean War.
