If Hooponopono is generally used between family members, how will it apply between representatives of the state & arrested protestors? It seems this goes far beyond the dynamics involved in a family dispute. Not to mention that when problems arise between relatives, often it's undefined boundaries that are crossed. In this case, laws were broken.
Three defendants in the case filed a motion asking for hooponopono (ho-OH'-po-noh-po-noh) as an alternative to a trial. Hooponopono is traditionally used within families to work out differences, using prayer and discussion.
Hawaii County Prosecuting Attorney Mitch Roth said his office supports the motion. He met with a group of defendants Monday night to discuss how the unique process may be used in a criminal case that is rooted in protesters' belief that they are protecting Mauna Kea, a site they consider sacred, from desecration.
