For many years people of color had only white dolls and action heroes.  Now we have marketing that attracts people of various colors and beliefs.

The costume is a costume and it says society is changing if others who do not share our Pacific heritage want to be brave like Maui.  I see this as s positive.

The point is also well taken that the history of our people need to be shared.  An insert with the costume depicting what Kāʻili describes would have been helpful in teaching empathy and living with obstacles to our collective children.  A lost opportunity.
