Msteeln: Certainly, I defer to Kama'aina in all matters related to Hawaii, yet I am not sure it is that dire. While bruddah IZ Hawaii 78 laments development, the Iolani Palace, Waikiki's oldest hotel, the Moana, the Bishop Museum and, for what its worth, the PCC, all remain. Hula has not been outlawed, UH still has its excellent Hawaiian Studies program and there is not mining on Diamond Head.

While you are right about the Aulani's cost, and most tourists are not there to get a Masters in Hawaiian culture, the Aulani does contain "outrigger" Hawaiian style architecture, an "Auntie" to spread the culture, features Hawaiian art and its website expressly acknowledges its desire to preserve cultural heritage.
