HO'OLA: Restoring Health to Hawai'i
Jack Kelly has an
article
in the Hawai'i Island Journal:"Much
has been written from a Western-based medical perspective about the critical
problem of high mortality rates and overall poor health indicators among Native
Hawaiians. But many Hawaiians see the issue in an entirely different light, one
that encompasses the entire spectrum of traditional cultural practices that have
been historically and currently suppressed and marginalized. With the growing
revitalization of these Hawaiian traditions, there is hope that the trend of
declining Hawaiian health can be reversed."
