There is one far distant memory that I can never seem to get out of my head. When I was much younger, maybe 8 or 9, my family and I went to the Hawaiian islands on vacation. As everybody else that visits the islands, we of course went to the beach. I had no idea at the time that I would have such an intense experience that would change me for the rest of my life.
It all starts on a perfect Hawaiian day, everything was exactly what you would expect out of a hot vacation spot. We all decided that today would be the day that we headed out to the beach. We packed everything up and started the 5 minute drive over to a good spot to meet up with some friends. My stepdad went deep sea diving with one of his coworkers, and mom was out sunbathing. I
Kumulipo is a Hawaiian chant that describes the story of creation along with a genealogy of Hawaiian royalty. This story was brought to Hawaii by the marriage of two people, Pi 'ikea and ‘Umi.

Imperialism was a controversial idea that a nation can extend its power outward through means of diplomatic or military force. This often results in a shift of power from one major force currently in control to another. The people of that nation under control conflict may also experience wars, rebellions, or cultural destruction. Looking at some of these events, we see some positives and negatives of imperialistic action taken by the United States, and how it affected the nations imperialized by the United States. For starters, let’s look at Hawaii’s annexation.
Do you ever wonder what happens to the animals in Hawaii that have been abused, or are stray? Well, most of those animals you have seen have gone to the Hawaiian Humane Society (HHS), a charitable group that started in 1897 with a woman named Helen Kinau Wilder. She started the group with her friends by gathering resources to hire their first officer to help animals. These animals have been rescued from terrible, reprehensible conditions no creature should be in. The Hawaiian Humane Society is a great way of helping animals because they rescue animals in danger, educates the public about animals, and has charity events to help the animals get forever families and homes.

Ancient Hawaiian race is very simple, mostly were native Hawaiians. They have bronze skin, dark eyes, dark brown hair, strong build and physique. When the Captain Cook arrived, Hawaii opens a door to racial integration from a relatively isolated island. Hawaii after contact with Europe gradually evolved into a family of national integration, and now most of the population is Japanese in Hawaii, followed by the Philippines, indigenous people, Chinese people, the Korean people, and etc. Captain Cook 's arrival creates an opportunity for national integration and cultural exchanges, but also on the native Hawaiian culture had a negative impact.
The Hawaiian people should be getting restitution for their losses, not the state. A law requires the state to collect money for rent on Mauna Kea and according to Kahea.org they state that a night in an observatory can go up to $80,000 a night. The state should be receiving around $80,000 dollars a night per observatory; but the ones receiving the money from these nights are the observatories themselves which means the state gets nothing but the rent. It is very disrespectful that we are losing our lands, or in the Hawaiian culture, losing our connection to the gods without our consent. We need some type of restitution to help make our losses a little bit easier to handle; because right now it is a double loss for the Hawaiian people.
Hawaii Home to one of the world’s most active volcanoes, lies the beautiful islands of Hawaii.

Hawaiian Beautiful Culture Before and After Arrival of European Settlers What do I mean when I mentioned the before and after? It is the love and the consistency of love to be attached to their Indigenous Culture even when a couple of ignorant people think differently. Ignorance, as we have seen in different stories we have studied in the Native America studies class, for example, the trail of tears, explains the ignorance and disrespect of new settlers on the Native American Land.
The United State’s annexation of Hawaii in 1898 led to the gradual destruction of the Hawaiian culture and the almost-extinction of native-born Hawaiians. The majority of the Hawaiian natives opposed the annexation of Hawaii and wanted to maintain their sovereignty. Although the Japanese could have taken over the Hawaiian islands if the United States had not, the annexation of Hawaii by the U.S. was unjustified because of the treatment of the monarchy and natives, the infringement of the natives’ self-established culture and government, and the natives’ overwhelming opposition to the U.S’s involvement in Hawaii. From 1795 to 1874, the Kamehameha Dynasty ruled over the kingdom of the Hawaiian islands. Up until the death of Kamehameha III, the U.S. had stayed out of interfering with the islands.
Being very fortunate to travel, my wife and I decided to traveo to Hawaii. It was our first trip to that paradisaical place. The experience was fabulous from the very beginning.
