I find it really a sad statement about the museum's direction when in October it cancels a decades-old event serving the children of the community (Treat Street) offering a vague excuse from their new president about how they are ending the program to create more enriching Hawaiian-culture based ones. Then, the next thing we see is a big party for the rich on the lawn. Nice.
