Haole Girl, You seem to know alot about your hawaiian history, culture, etc-infact I think it's your passion. Could you tell me why most (70%) your history, traditions, etc are not written down, was it forgotten?

E Buzz...
Actually I don't think I am passionate. I think it's more that I know a little about our history who I am, where I come from etc and that it should be noted that our history and that parts of our culture and history differ in that it's orally based.
I don't think it's necessarily forgotten because much of our culture, history, and/or traditions is still passed on orally to the younger generations. To sum it up though... it's just different and it should be noted that it's different. Even then... other Hawaiians would think that I am stating the obvious because it is the obvious... to them.
