    Referring to previous posts: Why do people continue to zero in on a person's physical looks? What DIET??? This woman eats LIFE! She is the embodiment of everything Hawaiian that I want to be and that anyone who has any sense of existence would want to aspire. Hey, in your way of thinking--oh, too bad Stephen Hawking, more better he should walk, yeah? Shame on you! This woman is PERFECT! She lives her beliefs!

    Pualani, you are as amazing on this address as you were when we were roommates in Provo, Utah back in the 60s. So impressed with you and your convictions to your culture. Mahalo for being such an outstanding person.

    What a beautiful spirit, channeling the ancients... we are blessed to have such a one amongst us.... People who judge do not have the eyes to see, the ears to hear or the tongue for useful speech.

    The first polynesian voyagers came from the Moluccas/Maluku/Molo Uku
    Islands. They brought the kukui seeds to Hawaii. Kukui also known as
    candlenut. It's origin from the Moluccas.The Botanical name is
    (Aleurites Moluccana).
    The kukui tree (Aleurites Moluccana) was designated the state tree of
    Hawaii in 1959. The blossom of the kukui is also the official Island
    flower of Moloka'i.

      Many cultures, including kanaka, are obsessed with image. Many women are obsessed with their beauty, figure, clothes, jewelry, status, etc.
