The latest scheme is they want to develop a "Native copyright," protected by law, that means only those with Hawaiian blood can make what they deem "native products," or incorporate native elements or themes.

This is a scarey, if not racially predjudical, idea. Not to beat a dead horse but this smacks of limits on freedom of speech and expression by non-natives. Liberals will love the concept.

I agree with you, it seems to me there are some real problems with this concept.

well, if you ARE curious the 'science' had been saying that the temples started at a period much later than the Hawaiian oral histories said when they were built..ie, when the preist Paoa brought the cut people up cult and heavy social stratification to the islands...but 'official' archaeology is now discovering what many archs believed all along..that the Hawaiians knew what they were talking about..and the movie included wars between the Hawaiians and Samoans..even Hawaiians don't like to paddle THAT much..do you really blame the native people for being paranoid about outsiders ideas? after all they didn't even get barren reservations from stealing unca' sam.
