    As a Sarawakian, I would like to clarify that the island of Borneo is not pronounced in the same way as Brunei as the name Borneo is a latin word, a transliteration of the name Brunei as early European explorers named the island based on the dominant kingdom that they meet on the island, which is kinda the reverse of how the United States of America got its name. As such, it is pronounced as Bour-Neo, like in Bourne Identity and the Matrix's Neo. Its kinda like calling a citizen of Republic of Ireland as British which although correct in the geographic sense in that they live in the British Isles, the word British in the sense of citizenship would refer to a citizen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
    Janes Brooke didn't rule in Brunei but rather the (semi-)independent Kingdom of Sarawak, on the Northwest coast of the island of Borneo. In the British Empire, Sarawak is a protectorate of Britain which mean that foreign affairs and defense are managed by the British while the local administration are wholly under the Rajah and local civil service with its own legislative body.

      @Sam Wallace that’s the point though, isn’t it?
      In a technical sense the islands are British-otherwise the term Great Britain is geographically nonsensical. It’s clear that the isles of Man and Wight are not comparable in size.
      Instead there’s implied in the term a comparison of size between the two substantial islands positioned between the North Sea and Atlantic.

      @Sam Wallace British was the name given by the Romans to the Celtic people who lived and live there (Irish, Wales, etc), the Anglo-Saxon part, it is just England, so I don't see the problem to call Great Britain the country when Irish were a part of one state and right now the United Kingdom to the current country formed by various nations.

    So I looked up the Gibson guy. He was a member of the church for 3-4 years, and abused his isolation to steal from the church (including stealing the colony itself). This culminated with excommunication, so he took his grifting to the Hawaiian king next and ended up getting him burned too. Makes the title of the video seem clickbaity, since Mormons have only a tertiary connection at best to most of these events.

    I just left the Mormon church after 34 years and I'm half Samoan. I became a born-again Christian April 2021. My goal is to dedicate my ministry to educating Polynesians about the truth about mormonism. It's very easy to convert Polynesians to any religion because they lack knowledge about world religions and Christianity in general. I just want to provide accessible and "easy to understand" information for them because Polynesians are very simple-minded and thus have been an easy target for Mormons... Mormonism is becoming more of a cultural thing for them. But I want to break that, and make sure they know that there's other available gospels to believe.

    All of this are remnants of the old Danish & Swedish Empire and Their older Kalman Union. (With Norway, Finnland, Parts of England as well. The Shetland Island use to be a part of Norway bevor they reunite with Scotland again, Etc.)

      I don't know anything about the Gugar tribe, but the Kubu tribes (who call themselves the Orang Rimba) still exist in South Sumatra. They are still looked down upon the by the Malay, due to their lack of "sophistication". Most of them live in small inland villages where they do small scale slash and burn farming to live. A smaller group are purely hunter-gatherers. Some areas have had forceful conversion, but conflict is not common
