These polls don't reflect what I hear in my communities
As I asked gypsy (with no reply), and I'd like to ask you as well, how large was your sample size? Do you believe it was enough to accurately reflect the belief of the general population?
Hawaiian activists... are actually following the western laws set up for them.
As PaulW mentioned, they didn't follow either their own cultural laws or Western laws when they "move(d) or take rocks from sacred sites, something that is grilled into those of us raised here." In fact they moved rocks on a scale of thousands to one when compared to the example you mentioned of a recently constructed ahu.
Did "The Protectors" follow Western laws when they camped illegally, blocked roadways illegally, or polluted the sacred mountaintop when they wandered far and wide from the restrooms at the VIS?
etc etc etc
Or do they get a pass for all of the usual reasons, ethnicity, overthrow, it's only desecration if someone else does it...
On the fifth day - the scientists who studied the rivers - were forbidden to speak - or to study the rivers. -Jane Hirshfield's poem on creation
