    Having no understanding of the language somehow doesn’t influence the impact that performance has on me. It brings tears to my eyes.

      This performace is about the Hawaiian goddess Lono, lono was a god of peace he was the god that was honored during makahiki season, a season of rest . Then their was the Hawaiian war god Kukaʻilimoku, he was the season of war and labor

    It hurts my soul that the British saw Hawaiians and thought "let's colonize them and steal their land!" Instead of working in partnership with a Hufflepuff like Nation they ruined it. If I was sailing the "New To ME World" and met the Hawaiians, it'd be nice to chill and say "ok, seeya same time next year, bye."
    I wouldn't COLONIZER them. The audacity.
    Glad their traditions survived, as the UK did a number on them,their resources and their islands.
