Hawaiian Indigenous Faith and Practice: Kanenuiakea

Description

This handbook describes the faith and practices of a living Indigenous Hawaiian religion, Kanenuiakea. After two centuries being huna (hidden, sacred) because of persecution and fear, its faith and practice is now shared publicly in so far as it will not be exploited. Kanenuiakea is an ethnic faith of peace and love and a member of the International Association for Religious Freedom. Its values are shared with those of good will.
