Da roots here go deeper than we can undastand. It's our kuleana to pass things like dis on to da keiki, because its all our kuleana to raise dem, not jus da parent.

Growing up, my uncle the fisherman in Waialua used to hook opelu and akule as opposed to netting because the quality of the fish is so much better than net caught fish that damages the meat. In the fish markets, the hooked fish would get a higher price because of that and you would see that on the price tag. I don't think you see that distinction these days.

what I think is that this "thing of tradition" is one among Innumerable other "things of tradition" ( how native Americans beat rice into their canoe , how other native Americans used to catch eel and salmon) ....and whats sad are two things: first the dying out aspect, the loss of the Akule, the Opelu, the Salmon and other plants and animals, as well as the ability, due to the absence of students, but 2 that not too far into the future, after perhaps this house of cards that we live in will have collapsed, as I am sure it will. Then all these skills will have to be reinvented to feed a remnant of this earth's population, when everyting will slowly restart, we will learn how to make nets again and fish hooks and arrows. So do not be filled with despair yes how sad ...languages disappearing, skills, but as long as human spirit is still there we will learn anew, and let this greed and hatred pass. Good! Make sure that love and caring survives! Malama aina!
