dc.description.abstractPreface (by Windy McElroy and Sara Collins) The following commentary was written by Dr. Dye in 2007 for a colloquium at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. The piece could not be published in Hawaiian Archaeology until now, but it still has relevance today for the context it provides on the current state of archaeology in Hawai'i. Many of the challenges of 2007 have not been resolved, such as the curation issue, problems with the CRM industry, and the dysfunction of SHPD. Years after the events Dr. Dye describes, SHPD still faces serious issues and has now been deemed "at risk" by the National Park Service (NPS) after a comprehensive review. The SHPD has until 2012 to address corrective actions identified by NPS. Unfortunately, the office is still beset by many of the same problems Dr. Dye identified in 2007 so it is difficult to see how SHPD will meet the federal government's requirements in time. The change in the state administration in late 2010 brought a commitment to restore state government offices, including SHPD. It remains to be seen if the administration will follow its words with the meaningful action and support SHPD needs to recover.
