Abiding by societal protocol, though confining at time, can provide a sense of freedom. Knowing where one belongs. Knowing one's kuleana. Knowing who to turn to for counsel, and knowing who to instruct. Knowing the boundaries.
And knowing the freedom within the framework of community and society.
It is a seeming oxymoron but nonetheless a truism.

- I was educated during the period when speaking the Hawaiian language was discouraged, hula focused on hapa-haole songs and whatever Hawaiian crafts I learned were from gracious Hawaiian women in the summer fun program. At this late stage in my life, I am trying to learn about my culture and how the various experiences create the Hawaiian in me.
