Aunty Pua has a deep understanding of this harmony. She views it as a basic component of the Aloha Spirit which she both demonstrates and teaches in every aspect of her life. Aunty Pua has also instilled her love of the Hawaiian culture in her family and many who come to her for her healing wisdom depart acknowledging the value and importance of the wisdom she has gained and dispenses with such ease. It is through their efforts that Hawaiian traditions will live into the twenty-first century. They prompted more than a cultural rebirth, they inspired a revival of spirit.
Cultural traditions form the foundation of a people's identity.
Thanks to the k puna, these traditions were not lost and are alive and well, and the valued wisdom of the past can continue to be instilled in generations of Hawaiians still to come.
