  • Hawai’i was an independent nation with its own kingdom when the descendants of missionaries from the U.S. overthrew its government. Today, Native Hawaiians are struggling to afford to live on the land that was once stolen from their ancestors.

      Quick question, how come these so called liberal progressives politicians and political parties do absolutely nothing to help these people? I hear crickets when this question. I'm a minority myself and I'm sorry, im not going to be bamboozled by these people. Yes dole and others racked up a fortune from taking advantage of the people ao how come they aren't held accountable? How come the rich white people get away with murder but the poor ones get the hate? Its propaganda.

      In my opinion. I don't know if there's much similarity in what I'm going to say But. Puerto Rico is full of corrupt immoral politicians, which were bought by foreign investors who only care about their pockets and that's why we are where we are. Additionally, a doctrine has been created in children, youth and adults so that they do not see the common good and more personally. which creates a social crisis. And culturally our identity is lost. We already know how the case is Sixto George that the media works with the government to instill this creating a change of mind hating the culture and language in which you were born. This is what happens now and it happened in the past.

      so true. There's a documentary about a small town that got invaded but old rich white people. They gentrified the whole frickin town. Workers couldn't afford to live in that town (on murican mainland). It was ridiculous. Some businesses had to expand on the property they were lucky enough to own so that the workers could have a place to live that they could afford. This generation has sucked up, consumed, and shat out most of the resources and opportunities their parents and grandparents worked hard for, and will leave next to nothing for future generations. For example, they'll get more than their SS while I only get 70% of what I put in. Their grandchildren will get even less. And the politicians, their generation, wants to give them more. They're worse than a plague of locusts.

      Unfortunately the middle and lower classes are being hit hard in every state, not just in Hawaii. Eventually, if something isn't done there will be only two classes, the rich ruling class and the poor and there will be no middle class. Herein lies the problem. The middle class is what built the USA to be strong, but it's evaporating away. The midwest used to have small towns, factories and agriculture and now they are ghost towns and the residents who stayed are poor or on drugs living a depressed life with no work. Now the cities are being gentrified and locals being prices out, same for beach front property in small towns up and down the eastern coast. It's not just Hawaii, it's everywhere, and it isn't just the USA it's over in Europe and everywhere else too the middle class is drying up leaving rich and poor only.

      * Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia. No wonder Mother Russia is so very huge.
      * By the way, the "land grab" is more of the same in the Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in the Asia-Pacific region.
      * Russia occupied vast resource rich Siberia to Far East ever since 17th & 18th century, while Anglo British, sailing halfway around the world from jolly old England, took over giant resourceful landmass of Australia & New Zealand in 18th & 19th century; all in Asia-Pacific, while Native people of Asia-Pacific region are left with and quarreling over a few tiny islands in South China Sea while Anglo Australia/New Zealand have already claimed big chunks of nearby Antarctica.

    i was literally just in hawai’i a few days ago for a week for vacation and this video popped up in my youtube feed. this was my bf and i’s first time visiting. he asked a few people that grew up living there what it’s like. they each said it’s very expensive and they have to do a lot to continue living there. they also brought up how natives there are not proud to be american. we learned a lot of culture while visiting hawai’i and also were in very tourist areas, areas mentioned in this video actually. it is stunning there but it is very sad and i feel for them. this video further educates people on the issues so ty for this. i hope one day more people realize this bc their culture and land truly is incredible.

    Seeing the tragedy now in Lahaina makes the plight of natives even more significant. To see Hawaii developed and the lush, green tropical forests gone and the wildfire destruction is heartbreaking. I noticed too that most of the people who lost their homes to fire are not native peoples. Their culture is to exploit and now we see the consequences in death and destruction. My heart breaks for the natives and for the land.

      Hyperinflation so that the island becomes white. Same tactic Europeans play across the 3rd world and same tactic Israel applies in Palestine. Even within US, cities and towns where there is a large minority presence, hyperinflation exists, while US cities, states, or towns that are white are the least expensive but minorities cannot live there due to institutional racism and intimidation from population. In Los Angeles, I cannot lease a nice appartment without having a six figure salary as landowners make it more difficult, but I can buy almost a mansion compared to California housing standards in the MidWest and South with my savings and salary. However, the market and people will make it more difficult for me to obtain one because I am not American white. Banks and real state agents will more discriminatory. There is discrimination in the progressive states but at least you can find housing, but little by little everyday unregulated inflation due to institutionalized racism directed at minorities is becoming more prevalent.

It's been difficult as to even this day we are still trying to regain our identity, our culture, our native languages, writings and dialects. But proudly, we are our own people in our own land. To quote Pres. Quezon's speech on civil liberties in 1939: I would rather have a government run like hell by Filipinos than a government run like heaven by any foreigner.

    I knew some Hawaiian history pre-statehood bc I lived there from late 1954 to early 1957 when my father was stationed at Barber's Point Naval Air Station on SW point of Oahu. (I've even got hula records that were put out on the 49th State record label.) While the USGov's devious actions in acquiring the Kingdom was not emphasized in our school lessons, it was clear that a takeover took place AND not to the overall agreement by the Hawaiians at the time. I concluded sometime later that it was likely only those who personally profited by favors given who were enthusiastic. With advent of Internet, history of the Islands has been promoted widely AND communication btwn/among Native Hawaiians has become possible. THIS I am glad to see & truly hope that an improvement for the Native Hawaiians can/will take place.

Te doy un ejemplo: un psicólogo de México decide aprovechar la tecnología para trabajar desde Mexico generando trabajo para otros psicólogos generando ingresos muy buenos para ellos con clientes de USA. Consecuencia: En este caso hay muy poca oferta de psicólogos en USA por lo tanto todos ganan en el proceso. Otro ejemplo: un extranjero llega a USA y con su capacidad logra tener éxito. Aprovecha la buena educación y recursos de becas que no había en sus país. Muchos hacen lo mismo hasta que tienen mayor poder adquisitivo llevando a los que vivieron por generaciones en un país a tener que mudarse a lugares más pobres de USA. Consecuencia: las más grandes ciudades de USA son multiculturales. Donde yo vivo ya somos mayoría los que hablamos español. Y las mejores universidades de USA tienen porcentajes altos o incluso son mayoría los extranjeros.

It's called greed and whenever ANYONE (regardless of color) stands in their way, they will wipe you out. They develop a plan, based on their greed and then follow through with it. We see it all the time, a homeowner refuses to sell property that an investor desires, it may be a highway project or commercial project, if they refuse, it will be taken the hard way.

I spent time on the Big Island and saw exactly what this documentary shows. I am saddened by what is happening and amazed by the Hawaiian resiliency that despite working 2 to 3 jobs, they are happy people, family-oriented, kind, friendly, proud, and resourceful. Furthermore, I saw a lot of commonalities between the Hawaiian and Puerto Rican cultures/nations. For years, I have mentioned this to many in PR, only to be laughed at and ignored. It's remarkable how the US got away with this. I see so many similarities between Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and I am saddened to see history repeating itself.

    Grew up on Oahu in the 80's and 90's then left. It is profoundly sad what has been and is continuing to happen there. It's not only the paradise that has been lost, but the way of life

      @@sessionsinparadise7357 architecture for the sake of architecture or corporate profits, especially when it replaces the worlds beautiful but shrinking natural spaces- and especially if it displaces native/indigenous populations- is abhorrent and i will add inhumane. as the climate changes and wealth disparity grows worse and worse architecture must be centered around preserving natural landscapes and wildlife, with the needs of indigenous/native people and climate placed before massive profits. which imo requires more skills and creativity and ingenuity.

      I barely found out who my family is on my dads side about a year ago. Native Hawaiian decent. My grandfather who I got to meet last year before he passed had to move to the mainland because living in Hawaii had proven too difficult for him. My only paternal uncle still lives there but works all the time and doesn’t get to enjoy the beach or much of what the islands offer. My grandfather who had been a successful Hawaiian musician didn’t have all too much to show for all the years of dedication. Especially because he didn’t get to stay in his beloved Hawaii. But displacement among locals is happening everywhere.

    Beauty from Ashes: I close my eyes, and I see the beauty of life springing from the ashes that cover this island and her children. I see her spirit strong and pure bring renewal of life, and her children rise above the despair that has tried to encapsulate them. I see loved ones lost reborn through the life force of this land. I see their spirit forever living in every form of life renewed and bringing forth life forever. I see powerful healing forces mending broken hearts, comforting suffering souls, and gently whispering words of encouragement. May the sun shine upon this island and her children. May it provide nourishment to bodies, minds, and souls. May the moon illuminate their way in their darkest hours, and may every star sparkle with pure brightness for every soul that has been taken. Let every vibrant color cover this land as a reminder of the beauty that comes from ashes. Kimberly D. Forrest

    The reason for the overthrow (at least on the business owner side) was because sugar cane exported to the US was being taxed as another country, thus reducing profit. Hawai’i plantation owners lost business to Mexico as they would price roughly the same, but with much less transportation costs. The unification to the US eliminated this international import tax. The collaboration of private business and government is a very dangerous thing, as we’re seeing today with modern warfare

    It would probably help if the Hawaiian people actually were given the profits from the use of their lands like the university of Hawaii, who rents out Hawaiian owned lands for profit yet none of that profit is given to the community that owns the land

    As a Native Hawaiian who got priced out I can say we will never get any land back. There is to much invested from all over into Hawaii. The best we can hope for is reparations or something monetary and even that is an almost impossible uphill battle.
