Thank you, Thomas, for the clarification and direct insight.  

Too many times, on the Islands and, really, around the world, the legacies and historical records were protected from public knowledge in fear of destruction by antagonists.  We see this especially now in the ME, where 'Muslim' fanatics destroy the artifacts of any/all they feel are threats to their power.   Sadly, this was also done as the Islands (and most all of pre-1491 western hemisphere) were conquered by Europeans.  

During ww2, we saw the displacement of Japanese Americans, the loss of their properties and their rights.  How do we, as a nation of many different peoples, assure respect and protection for their historic record?
