Thanks haole girl,
It is good to make it clear that besides the John Papa Ii, Kalakaua, Lili`uokalani, Kamakau, and Puku`i books, most of the other books that were written by non hawaiians can somewhat be questionable to some degree. Also, our culture is never lost. We can learn much more than any books can teach us if we live the Hawaiian lifestyle. I've also found that some books are biased depending on religion of the author etc... so be aware of that.
