	PBS: Holo Mai Pele - Hawaiian Culture
		Hawaiians believe they descended directly from the mating of the earth mother, Papahanaumoku, with her brother Wakea, the sky father, from whom were born the islands of Hawai'i, the first Taro plant, and Haloa, the first divine Chief and first of the Ali'i Nui (gods that walked upon the earth).
		All native Hawaiians descend from the Ali'i Nui, with commoners being the descendants of the junior lineages.
		Hawaiian political leaders were therefore able to learn from historical examples and avoid those pitfalls which had befallen their ancestors.

	Cultural History of Three Traditional Hawaiian Sites (Chapter 1)
		Religion was the paramount aspect of Hawaiian life, permeating every daily activity, every aspect of secular affairs, and every significant event, such as birth, marriage, death, house construction, fishing, agriculture, and war.
		The ancient Hawaiians believed these spirits, who pervaded the world and shaped events, had the power to inflict injury if directed or if angered by the breaking of their kapu, but could be approached and persuaded to act in one's behalf.
		They [the Hawaiians] have many temples, which are large enclosures, with piles of stones heaped up in pyramidal forms, like shot in an arsenal, and houses for the priests and others, who remain within them during their taboos.

	Hawaiian Legends - Gods, Goddesses and Demigods
		The Hawaiian culture brought forth a myriad of legends, many of which bear strong similarities to those of other island groups in the Pacific.
		Hawaiian legends are full of dog men, shark men, rat men, bird men, and hog men.
		Much of these stories were lost as the ancient Hawaiian were a culture that passed on their history, beliefs and genealogy orally.

	PBS: Holo Mai Pele - Hawaiian Mythology
		Red was the color of sanctity, as well as the color of menstrual blood, and during their monthly cycles women may have been most kapu, or sacred; certainly it is the time when women were most sensitive to the suggestions of the ancestors.
		It is Papahanaumoku who agrees to Wakea's suggestion of a new religion called 'Aikapu, and to the separation of male and female in labor, in cooking, in food and in sacrifice.
		The 'Aikapu religion began with the birth of the Hawaiian islands.

		Hawaiian nationals are not in the same situation as "Native Americans" or "Native Alaskans." Hawaiians are subjects of a sovereign state that has been occupied.
		In their view, the bank idea makes great sense, as it gives Hawaiians and supporters a way to participate and to unify (as participants) around an idea that is non-divisive and could/would build solidarity and contribute to an economic strategy for the Hawaiian nation.
		Apology resolution, but these have to do not with the U.S. role, but with the apology being made exclusively to Native Hawaiians, when in fact the entire multi-racial citizenry of the Hawaiian Kingdom was affected by the United States' unlawful intervention in their country.

	The Hawaiian Luau - A brief look at the roots of the traditional Hawaiian feast - the Hawaiian Luau
		A feast where the King ate with women was the symbolic act which ended the Hawaiian religious tabus, and the luau was born.
		Bowls filled with poi, a staple of the Hawaiian diet made from pounded taro root, and platters of meat were set out and dry foods like sweet potatoes, salt, dried fish or meat covered in leaves were laid directly on the clean ti leaves.
		Luaus today are not as big as those hosted by Hawaiian royalty in the 1800s, but they are a lot of fun and feature the same traditional foods… and utensils are allowed.

	Re: "Hawaiian Religion"
		In the western world religion is organized with a structure, with doctrine, with rules, with a central diety and a body of faith/beliefs.
		This is not necessarily religion, but it is great spirituality and recognizes our connection to the aina and its resources and our responsibility to the aina because the aina comes from the gods.
		You will notice that the people who promulgate this religion are not kanaka maoli, but na haole who claimed to have learned "these hidden secrets from the kanaka maoli".
