"Hula, like all Hawaiian cultural practices, has "a way of doing". This manifests itself through oli kahea, oli komo, appropriate behavior, and expected actions. All of these are important to maintain this particular cultural practice. More than maintaining hula however, these are also important in maintaining Hawaiian culture and its practice today and into the future."
