It Might Do Good: The Licensing of Medicinal Kāhuna
This first publication on the history of licensing medicinal kāhuna has been out-of-print for a long time. Malcolm Nāea Chun has updated his original research with newly discovered information from government records and both Hawaiian and English newspapers. He writes with great authority to show with clarity, how the concept of government sanction, in the form of a license, recognized an indigenous cultural practice of healing as an alternative to Western or modern medicine from the mid- nineteenth century to today. Taken from primary sources, It Might Be Good is the primary book on his subject for those interested in the story of Native Hawaiian medicine and healing.
