I think we do have some Philippine posters here on ATP.
Quote: "traditional methods versus modern would be a good topic." This reminded me of one of the scenes in the first video link posted above. The cameraman is at the local cafe in Thailand--and the object is to teach locals about food forests. Then he recognizes that the cafe owner has her own food forest already producing in her yard. No lessons necessary!!
My own training is in Anthropology--focus environmental anthropology-- and of course we study a whole lot about the traditional cultures of the Pacific--especially the Trobriand Islands. But as much as I have studied traditional cultures, I don't think there is a basic study of traditional Hawaii. Poi is all I remember. I think there is one study about the effect of missionaries on traditional culture. (Not favorable).
