Native Hawaiian Sacred Practices
Malcolm Naea Chun published Ho'omana: Understanding the Sacred and Spiritual in Manoa’s Curriculum Research and Development Group’s Ka Wana series.
Ho'omana examines what happened to Native Hawaiian beliefs from the time the priests ended traditional temple worship in 1819 to the present day controversies over sacred sites and objects.
In Ho'omana, Chun uses primary Native Hawaiian sources to compare pre-contact practices with contemporary beliefs and practices, looking for what has been retained, what has changed, and which current practices should be considered questionable as Native Hawaiian.
Ho'omana: Understanding the Sacred and Spiritual is available from the CRDG website.
