Editorial Standards.

Contributors and review

• Articles are written, reviewed, or informed by qualified practitioners, researchers, cultural contributors, and regional authorities.
• Contributors' professional affiliations must be disclosed on their profiles and on articles they touch.
• Featured artists are evaluated according to published criteria, not payment.
• Different traditions and practitioners may have legitimate differences in interpretation. Where authorities differ, the disagreement is documented rather than resolved by the platform.
• The platform does not claim that one person speaks for all Polynesian cultures.

Commercial relationships

This platform is independent, but not disinterested. Commercial relationships and referral links are disclosed. Sponsored content, if ever introduced, will be clearly labeled. Links to studios, books, consultations, or products may generate referrals, but commercial relationships do not determine editorial conclusions.

Sources and citations

• Primary sources are included where available.
• Regional claims are attributed to region, community, and source.
• Every article carries a suggested citation.

Corrections

Scholarly disagreements and corrections are welcomed and documented. See our Corrections Policy.

What we will not publish

• Fabricated credentials or invented cultural endorsements.
• Unsupported claims of consensus.
• Fake university language or invented institutional affiliation.
• Content that reproduces protected cultural material without permission.
