Exploration of hard truths about museums indudes OHA input A University of Hawai'i workshop and symposium on the de-colonizing of museums covered some emotional territory fraught with struggles for the reclamation of cultural identity. As part of the two-day event, OHA CEO Kamana'opono Crabbe was featured as one of three Native Hawaiian participants in a panel discussion titled "Shifting Paradigms." Crabbe's presentation focused on the historic transfer of the eloak

and helmet of Kalani'ōpu'u from the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa to the Bishop Museum in Honolulu in 20 1 6. Crabbe represented OHA's role in negotiating the retum home of the royal treasures, ferreted away from Hawai'i more than two centuries ago. The handover affirmed the indigenous viewpoint that cultural artifacts should reside with the people who vest them with meaning and not with outsiders who falsely position themselves as neutral custodians of knowledge. Perspectives on how museums ean reimagine their role and shed old eolonial biases were also explored by co-panelists Mike Nāho'opi'i, director of the Kaho'olawe Island Reserve Commission, and Edward Halealoha Ayau, a repatriation advocate. The American Studies Department at UH Mānoa sponsored the event titled "Seeding Authority."
