Follow the cobbled paths that lead from your door to this resort's quiet places including the hidden herb gardens, an ancient «heiau» (ancient
Hawaiian sacred site), and secluded tennis courts beyond a trellis of hanging flowers.
Whether it involves a memorial in Little Rock, Arkansas, to a victim of the Trail of Tears, the
Hawaiian tradition of pono (righteousness and balance), California New Age groups borrowing Indian rituals or New Mexico tribes arguing for the return of their
sacred sites, the story of regional religious culture has to acknowledge these rich (and often contentious) roots.
