    491 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Steve Olson’s article, “The End of Race: Hawaii and the Mixing of Peoples,” he mainly talks about how the mixing of race can eventually lead to the pure races being meaningless due to there being a lot of mixed race and eventually rarely having a pure race. Olson talks about “Hapa haoles” in the beginning of his article, which means half European, half non-European. The first Hapa Haoles were born on the island of Maui in the end of 1779. This was the beginning of the mixed race. The European’s, which were considered dirty, “reduced the native population [of Polynesians] to fewer than 50,000,” in Hawaii at the year 1891, because of the diseases they brought(Olson, 301).

    In the Hawaiian language, Lanikai means “heavenly sea” and when I would gaze upon the beach I knew why. The golden, toe wiggling sand was so soft I could walk for miles. The tranquil Hawaiian waters were so crystal clear with hints of turquoise and greenish shades, it felt like I was in a dream. When I glared at the sea, feathers of golden light cascaded from the sky and disembarked below the water’s surface, reflecting the sand from the oceans foundations, which fought against the down-pouring

  • Cultural Immersion Experience: Native Hawaiian And Pacific Islanders

    217 Words  | 1 Pages

    For the cultural immersion experience, the culture I will be focused on is the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander culture. While I do not usually have any personal difficulty with this population, there sometimes can be animosity towards White people in our community if they do not respect the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander culture. Therefore, sometimes, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders lump White people into one category of “not caring”. This could make it difficult to work with students from this cultural background if they see me as a White person that is uncaring. Although, through building rapport with students, being genuine, and advocating for them, I will be able to show students that I do care.

  • Essay On Hawaiian People Restitution

    445 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

    Imagine a place where culture never existed, or a place where people didn’t know where they came from. For the residents of Hawai’i, preserving and carrying on the Hawaiian culture has been a big issue over the past many years. This is because of various events that have occurred both in Hawaii’s history and in modern day Hawai’i. For instance, according to the Waianae Book of Hawaiian Health, in 1804, the first Westerners came to the islands, introducing horrid and infectious diseases that spread rapidly and killed hundreds and thousands of people, causing a drastic decline in the Hawaiian population.

  • Annexation Of Hawaii Essay

    1292 Words  | 6 Pages

    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.

    The cranial capacity of the long-headed skulls was larger than normal and, the examiner added wryly, had a brain capacity higher than the inhabitants of Whitechapel (London). Dutch explorer Roggeveen in 1722 and Spaniard Gonzalez in 1770 had both emphatically remarked on the mixed-type population, and that the Ariki chiefs were ‘quite white’ and very tall. Gonzalez measured two individuals at 6ft 5 and 6ft 6½ inches tall (196-199 cm), one with red hair. But by the time English Captain James Cook visited in 1774, after ‘discovering’ New Zealand and Australia, he made a great point of stressing that the population was entirely typically Polynesian, of the Tahitian type.
