The foreigners did not understand the way the Hawaiians split the land and that money was not important to the Hawaiians(Potter, Kasdon, Rayson 97).…

    Tengan focuses on examining the gendered concepts and ideals projected on indigenous Hawaiian men.

Native Hawaiian men are portrayed or iconized by the image of a female hula dancer vastly promoted by tourism. Native Hawaiian men then sought to counter this notion by creating a sense of individual masculinity in creating a group called the Hale Mua (the “Mens Hoiuse”). The Hale Mua sought to dismantle the feminized stereotype of being Hawaiian and asserted a warrior masculinity through practices including martial arts, woodcarving, and cultural ceremonies (cite!!!).…
