My name is Edward Halealoha Ayau and I have spent over half my life working to repatriate and reinter ancestral Hawaiian skeletal remains and funerary objects removed from their original places on interment. These iwi kupuna and moepu have been taken to museums and institutions around the world.  My kumu (teachers) are Edward and Pualani Kanahele and I belong to a hui of trained Hawaiians dedicated to this mission.  I am also a member of the International Repatriation Work Group through the Association of American Indian Affairs headed by Honor Keeler.  I was invited to take part in a panel discussion at the UN to discuss Human Rights relating to international repatriation.  I am raising money for travel expenses including airfare ($2700), hotel ($975), and per diem ($400) plus incidentals including land travel.  Please kokua (help), mahalo!
