In the nonfiction book “The Red Headed Hawaiian” by Chris McKinney and Rudy Puana, M.D. A character named Rudy Puana grew up in Kahaluu. Kahaluu has it’s share of poverty, drugs, domestic violence, and high unemployment.

After overthrowing the Queen, the Committee of Safety set up a provisional government(The Overthrow of the Monarchy). This shows that they didn’t really care for the greater cause and only for themselves. This act didn’t really change much and the Committee of Safety is trying to stabilize their position by increase their power with their own government. After hearing that James Blount is telling them to give up power, the provisional government surrounded him. They later also made the Republic of Hawai`i to refuse giving up power with a blaming to Minister Stevens, pushing all the responsibility to him. The Committee of Safety will do many illegal and corrupt things for power. The main reason of why people support the overthrow is for economy benefits, which will help Hawai`i in advance, but Hawaiians aren’t doing great, so then the economy benefit doesn’t matter that much

In my opinion, reading 1 (Hawaii: The Land of Many) is more informative and useful for a person who knows nothing about the sugar plantations in Hawaii in the 1800s. I would suggest using reading 1 because it talks about the entire history, as opposed to reading 2 which talks about the shutting down of the plantations today. This reading teaches the reader about the sugar plantations and the life of the laborers that worked on these sugar plantations. Reading 1 states that the sugar industry boomed in the 1800s which caused the need of plantation workers. They had recruits different countries that lived on the plantation. Laborers had to sign a contract saying they would work for a certain amount of time. Plantation supervisors whipped those

The first person to unite the island was Kamehameha. He was born as Paiea, the lonely one. His uncle, Kalani’opu’u was the ruler of Hawai’i before Kamehameha conquered the islands. He/Kamehameha wasn’t supposed to become the king after all. Until he achieved so many mana from all the battles he won and from the people who respected him, he was able to become the king, Kamehameha the Great.

The people of Hawaii and other Pacific Island Nation groups have experienced great injustice from their colonial powers and the acts of imperialism. Lands were seized, cultural practices banned, language lost, and people were even forced to move away from their homes for the purpose of bomb testing. The United States and other countries abroad sent out representatives to do their work for them; in return their future actions would be justified in describing the Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders as savages that need to have wider powers enforced upon them; thus resulting in a tangled web of political mythologies.

Living on the Hawaiian island of Oahu offers its own beauty like no other island in the chain. No Hawaiian island is the same; each one has something different to offer, as they all have beaches and hikes. The island of Oahu is a beautiful and interesting place thanks to its diverse beaches and spectacular hiking trails. Laniakea beach and Pupukea Beach Park are two of the best beaches on the North shore for snorkeling, scuba diving and merely wading in the water.

A dispute has come up between the United States and the tropical islands of Hawaii. Is

Indigenous people have suffered throughout their lifetime under the strain of white, modern-day, culture. We have violated the rights of the Hawaiians by stealing their land, polluting once beautiful oceans, over-populating their homes, killing native species that once prospered, banning native language and history, and especially in the exploitation of their culture in a way in which we can create a profit for ourselves, while continuing to belittle the Hawaiian beliefs and practices. It is up to us to correct the misguided actions of the past, and return what was wrongfully stolen from them. I believe that Hawaii should be able to dissolve from the United States, and in doing so have both their land and culture returned to them.

American Hawaii Hawaii is known for its beautiful beaches, it’s nice year-round weather, and its culture. Thousands of vacationers come to Hawaii each year to get away from the stressful city and relax. But do they know how cruel the Americans were to the natives? Do they know how we corrupted their culture and their religion? Do they know how Hawaii really became a state? Probably not. When most people think of Hawaii, they think of happy Hawaiian babes hula dancing and palm trees swaying in the warm breeze. Hawaii has still held on to many of their traditions although they were invaded by Americans. But you have to go to a museum to see their old way of life. Hawaii is now populated mostly by Americans.

The Creation of Hawaiian People and Their Islands Hawaiian mythlogy has numerous legends and a notable one is how Hawai’i and its people were created. The story refers to how people are connected to the land and it showcases one of the reasons why the urge to care for the land is so strong in the native Hawaiians. The way the myth is told shows that native Hawaiians literally considered the sky, earth and islands as respected elders. The Creation of Hawaiian People and Their Islands was originally an unwritten myth and itʻs a legend thatʻs heavily rooted in the fact that humans are connected to and need to take care of the land which is shown in this legend that contains love, deception, reconciliation, and death, in which can relate to many

The need for urbanization has been growing as the population of Oahu grows. Urbanizing the islands of Hawaii is different than that of the mainland; Hawaii has less land and the undeveloped land is precious. To make room for all of the people and the expansion of urban areas, land is to be taken; for example, Oahu’s land, and water has to be redistributed from its natural pathways. Honolulu’s Civil Beat contributor, Sean Connelly, clearly explains just what urbanization specific to the island of Oahu is and where its foundation lies: “The catalyst for traditional urbanization was the invention of a large-scale infrastructure that distributed freshwater. Over time, this system became ingrained in the natural hydrology, and

The annexation of Hawaii was an important event in the history of the world. It is still not easy for the Hawaiians to accept the fact that America had taken over a land 2500 miles away from the West Coast. In 1917 Hawaii was considered the 50th state supported by the islanders after a plebiscite. Queen Lydia Kamakaeha Liliuokalani was overthrown because of the support of the United States army as well as naval forces to a group of businessmen belonging to the sugar and pineapple industry. The Armed forces of the United States were ordered to provide this support on the directives of the minister of the United States to Hawaii. In reality they were missionaries who had been welcomed for several years by the

When people plan to attend Hawaii they think of beautiful beaches, great exotic food, and the smell of wonderful flowers never before smelt. That is exactly what they get, from turquoise blue water to skyscraping palm trees Hawaii has so many exotic things to see. Also all the great smells of Hawaii from the wild fruit to the roasted pig on the beach Hawaii definitely brings to mind one thing happiness. In Hawaii there are many things that bring happiness to mind such as the extravagant smells, not to mention the beautiful sights, and most of all the spectacular taste in the exquisite food they have in Hawaii.
