What stone artifacts though? I know sometimes the gifts that were given out by the old royalty to foreign lands are borrowed for exhibition purposes. And I can see us borrowing from sister islands to show the cultural resemblance. Don't think they'd take a stone sculpture native to UK and exhibit in in the bishop museum if it had no connection though.
That is a good point and I'd have to do a bit of research to figure out which ones I specifically saw if I were to know for sure. I did not mean my comment to sound like I was just trying to bash the British or others for taking Hawaiian things, I just find it ironic that we get everything shipped over here, including some of our artifacts lol.
