Hoʻoponopono is a Native Hawaiian collective practice for making relationships right through acknowledgment, responsibility, and repair, with documented forms that vary. Cultural authority, appropriate participation, and bounded disclosure shape its use, while forgiveness does not erase accountability and private affirmations or generic conflict scripts do not reproduce the family- and community-centered process.
