Back to the main point.  I think your characterization of traditional Hawai`i in such negative terms stems from misunderstandings similar to those that puzzled Cook and his crew.  Your bizarre take on the sexuality of the Hawaiian women, which wasn't shared by Cook's sailors, evokes the New England missionaries to Hawai`i.  It was an eye-opener for me to read your words.  I thought such extreme ethnocentrism was long gone.

The practice of archaeology has led me to admire the genius of Oceanic peoples in general and Hawaiians in particular.  I recently used my training as an anthropologist to investigate some misunderstandings between the British and kanaka maoli, as reported in the diaries of Cook and his officers.  I wrote up the investigation in the hope that it would help historians get past some of their ethnocentrisms, so they might glimpse a bit more of Hawaiian genius.
