In July, Edward Halealoha Ayau testified in Geneva, Switzerland, before the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous People. Along with a delegation of Native Americans, Ayau advocated for international repatriation of the cultural heritage of Indigenous people from institutions such as museums and universities. In his lecture, Ayau will discuss ongoing efforts at the UN and describe achievements in repatriation of Hawaiian and other Polynesian ancestors.
Ayau is former Executive Director of Hui MÄlama I NÄ KÅ«puna O HawaiÊ»i Nei, which has repatriated hundreds of iwi kÅ«puna and moepÅ« from institutions in HawaiÊ»i, the US, Canada, Australia and several European nations. He led the state Department of Land and Natural Resources' Burial Sites Program, and was a principal author of Act 306, which established HawaiÊ»i's burial councils. He is currently Acting District Supervisor for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands on MolokaÊ»i.
