Wow. So there may be no specific criteria, absent acceptance within the Hula or other practitioner community?
What would stop anyone from claiming to be an Hawaiian Cultural Practitioner? Maybe it is easier than I ever imagined!
Word of mouth may be what matters?
And then I have the power to declare what Hawaiian Religious beliefs are...?
