House being built over Native Hawaiian burials

Developer Joseph Brescia is going ahead with plans to build a house over identified burials at a beachfront lot at Wainiha, Kauai. Opponents to the project are pressing the burial council to reject the developer's plans to build over the ancient remains.

Purchase proposed for Kaua‘i burial site

A Wainiha, Kaua‘i, lot with 30 Native Hawaiian burials would be purchased under a plan outlined by Malama Kaua‘i, a nonprofit sustainability group. The group has received a pledge for $75,000 and has a fundraising effort in the works. Property owner Joseph Brescia claims that he has $1 million invested in the beachfront location.
