Lomilomi book

A book about Native Hawaiians who practiced lomilomi in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries is being compiled from Hawaiian language newspapers, the Bishop Museum archives and other published sources. Topics include pule, ho'oponopono, massage, bone-set-ting, diagnosis, cleansing, family practice, physical therapy, body molding and legal status. As editor of the book, I am seeking old books, pamphlets, films, mele, articles, stories, letters, manuals or other documents with information about these topics. Also needed is any information about Emma Akana 01mstead (or Omsted) who lived in Hāna, Maui, in the 1930s and who was an informant for the Bishop Museum. Please contact me on O'ahu at 282-2743, or mail to P. O. Box 1835, Kailua 96734, or email Makana@BodyMindMassage.com. Makana Chai Kailua, O'ahu
