So now that the topic is derailed again, this time regarding aboriginal tribes. Let's look at that for just a moment. From what csgray wrote we would then assume no living cultural tribe would exist today. That's interesting because there are practicing tribe in Australia. Here's a few pictures from such a tribe. http://www.looneypalace.com/modern-aborigines/

With regard the remaining politics and history there still remains a practice of the old cultural lifestyle. Yet... somehow that doesn't exist according to a few folks here.

Back on topic and to my original point, where do we have this sort of daily living practice occurring here in Hawaii under the control of the Hawaiian peoples?

You are putting words in people's mouths again, no one here said that traditional cultural practices don't exist. I said that native people have not been left to their own devices as you claimed, big difference. Culture is a living thing, it changes and adapts to circumstances, it is not frozen in time at the point of first encounters with colonizers.

Those people in the link you provided are not Australian Aboriginals, looks more like Papua New Guinea to me from the landscape, the buildings, the ***** sheaths and mummified dead.
