Last I checked each of the aforementioned cultures not Hawaiian already have their own "enclaves" within their respective geographical places of origin. I'm not sure what that has to do with here in Hawaii and the Hawaiian people. Certainly those other cultures weren't being proposed for being given an "enclave" here in Hawaii or any other place outside their already existing geographical origins was it? If so, that is crazy talk and beyond the scope of this topic.
Yes, names of roads is another aspect of of incorporating culture and roadways can also adopt some cultural based art accents where applicable such as retaining wall impressions, tunnel wall impressions lighting fixture design and so on.
Most cultures adopt modern development within their culture on their own. Others have had it implemented without their input. So when we look at the few that were indoctrinated without self applied adaptation (in particular here in Hawaii), it's important to make available such opportunities where ever reasonably possible.
An example of the freedom to advance as one culture desires can be seen in the mainland U.S.A. as in the Quakers etc.
Yes all cultures evolve but most have evolved without being forced to do so. Most cultures have already preserved a great deal of themselves within most aspects of their development. When we look at Hawaii, it was over run by western development without it's own guidance. In some cases the people were forbidden to even speak their own language. That's not self adaptation.
Re- establishing a 300-400 year old Hawaiian community could be extremely beneficial in replacing and rediscovering what was usurped from the people.
This subject is really tricky to wrap ones head around at first glance as is outlined by a couple wayward comments on here.
