Author of numerous books on Native Hawaiian healing arts and traditional values, Malcolm Naea Chun will discuss the role of the courts and the Board of Health in regulating the medicinal practices of Native Hawaiians. Chun has previously held positions at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Liliuokalani Trust. The publication of Chun's three-volume series is based on the writings of Rev. David Kaluna Kaaiakamanu of Kipahulu, Maui, from 1917 to 1921. Chun discovered original records of native remedies in an old cardboard box in the Office of Hawaiian Health. Over the last twenty years, he has translated this information that would have otherwise been lost. Chun's books will be available for purchase and signing at the end of the meeting.
