In Okinawa, Japan, cultural prostitution manifests itself in the way that traditional Ryukyuan culture has been co-opted by the Japanese government and tourism industry. As a result, many aspects of Ryukyuan culture have been turned into tourist attractions, while the local population has been marginalized. In Hawaii, cultural prostitution manifests itself in the way that Hawaiian culture has been appropriated by non-Hawaiians, often for profit. This has led to the devaluation of Hawaiian culture and traditions, as well as to the displacement of Native Hawaiians from their own land.
