American Missionaries were a prudish lot with a Puritan background that directly related human sexuality with bare breasted women and men who were involved in lascivious and erotic dance intended to show off skill, physical prowess and the ancient and historical chants. The Kahiko or ancient style did not include a musiclal arrangement and the Hula Auana is a musical in motion.
The Hula was an ancient ritual which Christians considered an abomination to be banished. The Mumu clothed the women, human sacrifie was abandoned, but the various chants lived on in secret and exist today. The Hula is a part of the Island tradition. Bloodshed they left in the past, but the art and the historical stories they retained. If you ever have the chance, attend the Merrie Monarch Festival in April at Hilo. It honors an art form as a part of the History of Polynesia. It honors the Preservation of tradition.
