They are attempting to respect Hawaiian culture, history and modern science and in my opinion have been doing a pretty good job so far, but your background is very different from mine.

Aloha, Mr. Tom! I have been, and enjoy it immensely. First time was a few years ago with the Keaukaha keiki on a school excursion.

Imiloa has become (and continues to evolve) a very crucial part of the combination of science and culture.

I'm biased, however, nephew works there, and he needs a raise. []

Aloha to you, Mr. Tom, background may be "different", but not that far apart (psst...TMT...my Daddy was Irish/English Hawaiian...lol), and apologies to others for OT.

JMO.
