③In native Hawaiian culture, there is a word, ho'oponopono (to set things right), for a ceremony in which family members invite an elder person or a respected member of the community to watch over the resolution of a dispute.
The leader invites disputing parties to talk about their feelings and encourages them to apologize and forgive each other.
The leader calls on a higher power-God and Church-to offer forgiveness, too.
