    This isn't anything new.

Happens in places like Thailand, Hawaii, Greece, South Italy, Maldives and many many more places.

      Hawaii is a tiny group of islands, compared to the rest of the world. A tiny group of islands that has managed to grow and expand well beyond their own geographic borders.
      That’s a bad thing?!?!
      People aren’t leaving Hawaii. The population of Hawaii is consistently +/- 1-2%…like it always has been.
      Just in the last 30 years, the population has DOUBLED!
      There’s more Hawaiians in Hawaii…as well as the rest of the world.
      And you think that’s a bad thing???
      Do you want to force them all to stay and start building houses on stilts and mega skyscrapers all over Hawaii to accommodate a doubled population in 30 more years????

      One day people start seeing them all over the world. They’re in the deserts and mountains and different forests all over the world.
      The dozen in the pacific are still there…and actually there’s now 24 where there used to be 12.
      But there’s also a bunch all over the world.

And before you say “the US gave you modern technology”, go look up who had electricity in their Capitol first, the US or the Kingdom of Hawaii. In fact, if you are unfamiliar, learn about the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the Republic of Hawaii, and the Territory of Hawaii. Learn about how much the overthrow impacted Native Hawaiians and non-Native Kingdom subjects as well.

    I am Polynesian/White (Hawaiian, Maori, German) from Kahuku on Oahu, a rural farm town. Leaving the island for the U.S. was the best move I made. I stayed as long as I could but left in my mid-20s.
    The job market is abysmal, the cost of rent sucks, the cost of food is far worse than the mainland, and its an hour drive in any direction just to get propper shopping needs met.
    People in my village constantly cry and complain about rich "Haoles" (Whites) and "Pa'ke" (Asian) buying up all the land and houses, which is true, but all the crying and moaning about the annexation isn't going to change anything.
    One of the biggest annoyances to me is the cultural hi-jacking of Hawaiian and all things Polynesian by local Asians who are not Polynesian. There is a big difference between being "local" and being "Native Hawaiian + Born and Raised".
    The Kamehameha school system is ridden with Asians who have no real blood ties to Hawaii, all of the richest locals are 3rd gen Japanese, Chinese, or mixed Asian from the sugar cane industrial farming days where corporations controlled Hawaii shortly before the annexation.
    Even within real native Hawaiians, there is no love between the towns. Kahuku only gets along with Laie/Hauula and the Ko'olau region towns and north Oahu is treated as a weekend playground for yuppies and townee locals.
    The land is cursed. Hawaii's history is laced with treachery and carnage. King Kamehameha employed muskets to dominate and conquer to establish his monarchy and his seed, to include David Kalākaua, who did more to destroy Hawaiian language and tradition more than anyone else, were all in bed with the British crown. Hawaiians have always been divided and contentious amongst each other.
    Growing up, all I did was tend to the beach land that we stewarded in Kahuku due to ties with cambell estate, we stewarded a good amount of Kahuku beach and worked ceaselessly to remove the rampant polution caused by the Japanese, their plastic trash and sea vessels. Hours, months, and years of cutting industrial fishing net off the ocean reef. What were other Hawaiians doing? Drinking Heineken, working Construction and backyard MMA, and then killing each other in street fights or driving down town to go beat up Marines.

      For example, the corporations have forgotten, that they value nothing, if we (aka consumer power) don't buy their products, etc. This means, we can have a direct impact on some business, by literally not doing anything.

    Yknow I used to work for a Hawaiian hotel. It was a call center job so I wasn’t actually in Hawaii but the caller didn’t know that. It was a very expensive hotel and people could be very uppity about it. One of the worst parts was when the entire island of Maui was on fire. Our hotel was on a different island so we had a lot of last minute bookings. People who had booked hotels on Maui were now booking at our hotel. But despite the huge loss of life and people’s homes, not a single customer cared about the fires. Instead they mainly complained that our hotel or island wasn’t as good as Maui and how much of a headache it was for them to change their plans. There was NO MENTION of the locals or a shred of sympathy for what they were going through. Keep in mind they’re speaking to someone that could be stationed in Hawaii and have friends and family on Maui. But nope no sympathy. Needless to say I left that job. Tourist should leave Hawaii not the locals.

Did you go talk to people face to face and ask what they expect from you so you can get hired and learn and keep a job? If you go talk to people and actually take steps to improve yourself and learn, you’ll be amazed at the opportunities that will come. Nobody is responsible for you but you. Stay away from drugs and alcohol they never lead to anything good. I promise. This coming from a former bartender and Nightclub cocktail waitress. Two years sober, not an addict or anything.

The people were proud to be Hawaiians, even if they only had a quarter of Hawaiian blood, or not at all, in them, They were beautiful people, welcoming, friendly, hard working but easy going. That was before foreign big money started buying property all over Hawaii, no doubt at a premium, making it impossible to refuse. (my guess). I have revisited once, 30 years later. Honolulu had become a concrete slum of high rises. The pali has been cut horizontally to make a road, looking like an open wound. The black sand beach off another island had vanished. And now, I hear that real Hawaiians have to come to the mainland to servive? So sad. I will never go back.

These new comers can afford higher real estate prices due to multiple generations living under the same roof vs. standard 2 adult households, this has resulted in astronomical house prices within 2 hours of core city centres.

    All commoner Hawaiians were slaves to the royal class. All land was owned by the royalty. No commoner could own anything, so this is the reason why most had a hard time dealing with a concept of land ownership. The royal class were ancestors of Tahitians who invaded and enslaved the native Hawaiians in the 17th century. The royals kept themselves in power by imposing a strict set of "kapu" rules. Violation of any rule, no matter how trivial, was death. Violators were sent to a central slaughter house where their meat was harvested and their bones made into things like fishhooks. It was quite an industry where nothing was wasted.

      @SideYardCat As had been repeated all around the world, including Hawaii, the tribe that sucked up to Britain colonist first received British weapons in trade. That tribe then went to conquer their neighbors using steel knives and guns. Tribes typically were in constant warfare with each other and were in desperate need of Brits war kit. Most of the violence associated with colonialism is from tribal warfare unbalanced with "modern" weapons. Most of the deaths were from European diseases.

      Royals also worked in the fields, trained as warriors and so on, especially Kamehameha. Westernization allowed Hawaiians to own land but since they were poor, white businessmen took over. And the monarchy was very progressive and pro-democracy and education.
      Also, kapu laws were indeed very strict but you could escape that fate by running to a “church” where you were then seen as forgiven by the gods. Hawaiians were a more civilized tribe, setting up different kingdoms and even uniting an entire island. They had messengers and still contacted other Polynesian nations using the “Lonoikamakahiki” title. To figure out more, you gotta take Hawaiian literature as Hawaiian thinking is not straightforward but rather riddles and hidden meanings.

    I’m Hawaiian by blood (Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino), born and raised in Hawaii for the first 11 years of my life, until my mom remarried into military and whisked me and my sisters away to California. We grew up at my Tutus house on Makaha valley rd (the now dilapidated green house next to the jehovah church) and went to school at Kamaile elementary. The last time I visited home my heart was immediately broken. The beautiful views I once could enjoy from the highway was obstructed by high rises, beaches I once frequented were now inaccessible because it belonged to some rich mainlander. My dad lives in Kapolei and is struggling to make ends meet. His neighbor recently decided to sell his home and it went for almost 2 million dollars! My dad is definitely tempted to say the least, but Oahu is his home and he’s a stubborn Hawaiian. Luckily my grandparents and my dad have their own companies and have land that was passed down from our ancestors, otherwise I don’t think they would have survived this long out there.

I met a local Hawaiian at the beach that explained to me that the 99 year lease for $100 was a way to offer incentive to all bloodline Hawaiians to move to a remote part of the Island and be out of the way. It was sold to the locals as Gov help with an agenda to remove all locals out of the tourist locations. This kind of thing has happened to all indigenous people across the world including Australia.

    Took my family on vacation to Maui a couple months ago. I totally forgot about the fires when I booked, I booked through Costco as the package was several thousand cheaper than the other islands.
    All things aside we had an AMAZING TIME. All the locals we met loved us, but I will say we were super respectful and asked a lot of questions and listened to their plight. On one side of the main road was beautiful beaches and perfectly maintained properties and golf courses, right on the other side of the street was completely decimated neighborhoods it was surreal to see.
    I own small businesses so I talked with several business owners and made sure to book everything I did through them and we talked about business in Maui. Even the locals are looking to move away, they just don't know how to do it and financially survive. But literally entire local neighborhoods where the majority of the locals were living were completely gone, like 10 blocks of houses gone and 30 feet away was a perfect golf course green as can be. I see why they have a hatred towards mainlanders. Wish I could post my pics here.

We also saw Tony Orlando and Dawn, I took a picture of my wife with Tony. She was crying. Over the years we have been to Minnesota. My wife shopped at the Mall of America for 3 days. Indianapolis motor speedway during the 100 year celebration where I kissed the brick. Louisiana, Mardi gras, where we ate alligator, jambalaya,, beignet, pecan pie and chocolate taffy crisp. We also listened to music on the river boat, "rolling down the river". I even saw taro plants growing along the Mississippi River. We went to LA, the Staples Arena to see the Clippers one night and the Kings the next night. Eight hour transition from basketball court to ice hockey. Amazing!!! We went to Seattle, Pikes Market and caught the salmon. Went to Tulalip on a boat with the Native Indians. Went up the Skagit River fishing for salmon. Went fishing in Idaho, Coeur dʻAlene, so cold I couldnʻt handle. Went to Kenai River in Alaska and caught and brought back to Maui 200 lbs. of fillet salmon. We saw Diana Ross and the Lettermen in Vegas. Just to name a few. We also met and Amish family in Missouri that took us into their home for dinner. We never met them before but they were a blessing. The men and boys all dressed with leviʻs, white t-shirt and suspenders. The women and girls wore long dresses and bonnets. Kerosene lanterns and stove, out house toilet. All the vegetables were awesome and the lady of the house made the biggest loaf of bread I have ever saw! You get the picture? ALOHA is a feeling from YOUR HEART! YOUR HEART! YOUR HEART! Whenever I traveled I always brought lots of picturesque calendars, boxes of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and homemade leis, to share with people we meet. Acts 20:35 It is more blessed to give than to receive.
      Did all of these and many more things cause me to want to live there? I thought about it. Land was cheap, food was cheap, gas was cheap, but, Maui no ka oi
      Maui is the best. I cannot blame people for wanting to live here. The same goes for many Hawaiians that are curious to see whatʻs up there. It would be nice if everything would balance itself. ONE FOR ONE. The problem with us is that we are limited. We live on a tiny island. You can drive around our island in one day. We have borders. The Pacific Ocean. Aloha Ke Akua

    So pleased that I just happened to come across this video. Didn’t realize that the information and the authentic and passionate voices of the people would profoundly draw me in. As in the closing words of the dear Uncle: “I listen to the voice of my ancestors, they cry out to me.” I was riveted as I was reminded of the words of the African, Cinque as spoken in “Amistad” when he summoned his own ancestors: “I will reach back and draw them into me. For at this time, I am the whole reason they have existed at all.” Oceans apart, yet…

      You got that right.. In my very humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, such as North & South America and Australia & New Zealand, and return to rightful owners Native American people and Native Asia-Pacific people.
      Notorious global cardinal crimes the 'Christian' West has committed, and benefited a great deal, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask?

    Born and raised on O'ahu. I'm Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese, and white. Because my ethnicities were so mixed I never closely identified with any of them. I never related to Hawaiian pride or pride of any race. I got accepted to Kamehameha Schools but decided not to attend. Why do I get privilege for something I didn't even do? To me it's not relevant. No one chooses where they are born, or who their parents are, so what's there to be proud of?
    Hawaii will always feel like home. I feel a deep connections to the ocean, the mountains, the land, the rivers, the rains. I cry when I hear chanting and prayers in the Hawaiian language. But this doesn't make me special, everyone has connections to where they were born, the early childhood impressions, the local customs. When I talk to Hawaii locals, many times they feel like they are special, like a different type of human separate from other humans on the globe. I've even heard people think that terms like "windward/leeward side", the word "local", or not wearing shoes in the house is a uniquely Hawaii thing. Or that "Aloha" is a uniquely Hawaii trait. I've felt Aloha in the rural Midwest, in NYC, Russia and many other places.
    Sure it takes bravery to try and revolt against the dominant institution to try to make things better for your people. But don't try to put the monarchy of Hawaii up on some pedestal. They were just as human as the rest of us, and they were actively trying to partner with powerful countries to gain more power and influence for themselves. They weren't trying to restore ahupua'a. They were dressing like Brits, acquiring military weapons and teaching everyone the Bible. Kamehameha School is a Christian school! How do you qualify a religion in a Hawaiian school that basically says that all the previous Hawaiians are in eternal hell for not knowing about or accepting Jesus, or for worshiping "idols" or being polytheistic, etc.

      What a great mindset you have. That is awesome. Some might disagree, but having, being born into privileges based on a construct is the hallmark of many countries. And unfortunate it has been in operation for so long that change is inviable regardless of how many civil rights movement, or amendments are made to the land of the law.

      Exactly, I grew up in Oregon on the ocean and river, it's a very tourist town. It's also been priced out by the same things as the Hawaiians are experiencing. Land is scarce and the price has more than doubled for homes. So I was born white, and poor, I don't get any special treatment. I've also had to move away for better work opportunities
