Native Hawaiians

American Aloha is a film about the rich Hawaiian culture and the Hula dance. It portrays how Hawaiians are proud to propagate their culture in any part of the world. This film takes Hulu beyond Hawaii. Before watching the film, I wasn’t aware of the intensity of Hula dance. For me it was just a type of dance witnessed at beach parties with half naked people wrapped in flowers but the video enlightened me to different aspects of Hula. Hula are known as the Hawaiians people who spent years and…

To begin, Future depends on history. The most important time period in a Hawaiian history was 1800 to 1820 because the Kapu system was abolished by Kamehameha II, Kamehameha the great unified all the 8 islands, and Western influence was getting started in Hawaii. There are many events that lead Hawaii to the modern world throughout the history, however, what counts the most is the beginning of the change. In the first place, Kapu system was abolished by Kamehameha II who is also known as King…

Hawaii is known mainly for its beauty and beaches, but like everything else. It is not always what it seems. Hawaii isn’t exactly a getaway from all the world’s problem. In 2012, Hawaii was listed as one of the five states to have failed a legislature that addresses specifically to human trafficking. “With trafficking comes the drug industry and in 2001, drug convictions alone made up 50.4% of total criminal convictions in the state. ()” Human trafficking and Drug Abuse are both linked…

Plantation Worker Letter Home Aloha, or hello (that's what they say on the plantation). I miss all of you back in Japan, I miss Okasan’s (mom) cooking, I miss watching the little ones play, but I mostly miss father. Tell him that I will come and visit him at the ulter soon. I left home to pursue a new life, to live in a warmer place, to get a job, and live in free housing. From what I understand most people came to Hawaii for the same reasons, sadly most of those promises were not fulfilled.…

Subject of study: The subject of study is the formation of the Hawaiian archipelago. The island chain is comprised of a string of volcanic islands, seamounts of igneous rock of which the largest, Hawaii, reaches from its base on the ocean floor to rise above the ocean to rival the height of the tallest mountain, Mt. Everest. The smaller and extinct volcanos of the Hawaiian chain are located at successively greater distances from the currently active volcano and younger, Kilauea on the largest…

to that of old Hawai’i before the coming of the Christians missionaries in 1820. I will also explain the ways in which I found ancient Hawaiians were also similar to Eastern monistic ways of thinking. In both cases, Hawai’i seems to be unique because it doesn’t fit neatly into either philosophical way of thinking. I will also show why I believe the ancient Hawaiians had a dualistic way of thinking in a monistic world. This seems to be the simplest terms I can explain my theory. This reminds me…

It is still May, almost June now. May was mostly rainy and cold but June is always warm.Today It was warm and the sun is shining at its brightest. It was a good morning the light from the sun was beaming through the window. I can't wait for today to start. The air smelled like it always does after a patch of rain goes by. I get out of bed go down and go to the the door and step outside. There was a slight breeze in the air. But it is no longer fierce and fighting the trees trying to pull and…

is also typically warm. The city also ends up being a very rainy place because it is in the middle of the ocean. In the last census (2010) Honolulu had a population of 337,256. The people there mostly speak English and Hawaiian. Most people are Filipino, Chinese, Portuguese, Hawaiian, and American. Honolulu is on an island so there is water everywhere as well as beaches. There are also volcanoes, some are active and some are underwater. There is a lot of elevation, hidden waterfalls, and rain…

There are over 1500 volcanoes in the world and over 1,500 potentially active volcanoes in the world. In 2018, the Hawaiian volcano Kilauea erupt after a series of earthquakes damaged the interior of the volcano. After only four weeks of lava flow and an area of 5.5 square miles covered there has been tens of thousands of people evacuated and more than 80 homes destroyed as well as other infrastructures. Hundreds were left stranded, cut off by lava flows with no power, working water and…
