Err, excuse me, the "real" Hawaii - that's only found, still, on Hawaiian homelands. That culture precedes the "local" culture, which is the calabash culture the writer longs for and came before the horse and buggy colonial culture. The colonial culture is still alive in the ali'i trusts and the original culture is still alive, barely, on homelands. The official policy of Hawaii is to assimilate native Hawaiians into the contemporary culture, which is the Waikiki based tourism culture - drawing guests internationally and making everyone rich except the native Hawaiians, still struggling on homelands to make ends meet.
