Hawaiian Dictionary Enlarged and Revised (1986) by Mary Kawena Pukui and Samuel H. Elbert is the most excellent dictionary of Hawaiian. It includes esoteric spiritual animistic terms. I think that learning Hawaiian could make Europeans and Japanese happier people.
(I would really like to learn lots of Hawaiian words, but prefer experiencing xenoglossia or injecting data into my brain by instant learning. If one has seen the movie franchise The Matrix or the movie THX 1138, one would know about what I am describing.)
My favourite Hawaiian singer is Kealiʻi Reichel. His first name means "The King." He is mixed-race, as are many in Hawaii.
A good music video is "Lei Haliʻa"; one can see Kealiʻi Reichel bare-chested in a Hawaiian outfit.
Although the conlang Toki Pona alludes to languages like Hawaiian and Tahitian, I opine that Toki Pona is really a different experiment. Lately, I have been catching up on my Toki Pona knowledge. With only around 123 basic vocables, Toki Pona is something manageable. Toki Pona somewhat tends to belief systems like minimalism, animism, shamanism, pantheism, and panentheism, or to things like Dào, Shintō, and Zen, but really mainly Dào as the language creator Sonja Lang intended.
