Research Paper On The Commercialization Of Hawaiian Culture

Retardation: The Misconception of Hawaiian Creole English Lisa Kanae’s Sista Tongue defends the use of Hawaiian Creole Language (HCE). Throughout her piece, Kanae highlights the history of HCE, her personal experiences, and its effects on local children. She explains how what was once a language that promoted solidarity among Hawaii’s early plantation community is now perceived as impairment.

After years of deprivation and discrimination, Onelauena is constantly looking for ways for Native Hawaiians to speak out against the wrongful doings of the U.S. and local government. Native Hawaiians are experiencing many challenges when dealing with the natural environment, the Hawaiian language, and the Hawaiian culture. The fight against the production of genetically modified organisms (GMO) possibly polluting Native Hawaiian soil is a huge issue. Native Hawaiians are also fighting against the use of property rights especially dealing with Hawaiian homelands.

For this study, I have analyzed three texts that span 114 years: Lili’uokalani’s autobiography, The End of Hawaii’s Independence: An Autobiographical History by Hawaii’s Last Monarch, the biography of Lili’uokalani by Helen G. Allen, The Betrayal of Liliuokalani: Last Queen of Hawaii, and Julia Flynn Siler’s text, Lost Kingdom: Hawaii’s Last Queen, the Sugar Kings, and America’s First Imperial Adventure.” Over that century, so much has happened in the world of scholarship and historiography: secondary texts to supplement Lili’uokalani’s autobiography, the decline of nationalistic viewpoints and the rise of feminist and minority perspective and scholarship, the supposed recovering of the lost diaries and papers of Lili’uokalani, and advances in technology that allow people easier access to research. It is the goal of this study to examine how the scholarship and interpretation of Lili’uokalani and the subsequent annexation of Hawaii through the usurpation of her throne by America changes over that span of

Hawaiian History This paper is about the bayonet constitution and the overthrow to the annexation. These events have had a huge effect on the Hawaiian people. From population of pure blooded Hawaiians dropping drastically. To Hawaiian getting kicked out of their homes and getting deadly disease and passing away.

He heard about these complaints and the foreign way of doing things, such as their belief of being able to “own land” and thought it would be beneficial for the Hawaiian community.

When Western presence commenced to escalate in Hawaii, it ultimately would lead to the collapse of its monarchy and annexation to the U.S. Its downfall may have started when western Christian missionaries began to populate the island in order to initially spread Christianity. This would eventually lead to the education of ali’i children, who were the monarchies’ broods, and this would serve as the foundation for exposing these Hawaiian children to the lifestyle of Western society, such as Liliˋunokalani. However, this would only strengthen the power of these missionaries as their population began to grow. For instance, this eventually lead to the establishment of a constitutional government.

Hawaiian plantations played a crucial role in the state's history, economy, and culture. The plantations were established in the mid-19th century, and they quickly became the backbone of Hawaii's economy. They produced sugar, pineapple, and other crops that were in high demand in the United States and other countries. However, the plantations were also notorious for their exploitative labor practices, which had a profound impact on Hawaii's social and cultural landscape. This paper will explore the history of Hawaiian plantations, their economic and cultural significance, as well as the legacy of their labor practices.

Sixth journal entry we noticed that many Hawaiians are teached to do many daily routines like farming,fishing,and hunting. Seventh journal entry we want to teach Hawaiians what we do for a living like go to a church,go to school everyday,and always believe in God. Ever Since we made a written Hawaiian language we now know what the Hawaiians are writing and know now what they are saying. Since me and my brothers are teachers at one Hawaiian school we always have this feeling that this is very obnoxious to them so we try to teach them in a fun way what god is like for example if people do good things, god will good things to them. Many years later thirtieth entry I was married to a Hawaiian lady named Benja

Through years of hard work, continuous education and seizing every opportunities placed before him, he was able to prosper and assimilate almost seamlessly into the American fabric of the Los Angeles landscape. His life and experiences for the most part were ethnically and racially blind with only distant brushes with racial tension. William Meada was an example of the Hawaiian Japanese Americans that prospered and assimilated well into the fabric of America despite the racial and ethnic tension of Los Angeles’s history and maybe even because of it. Born on the island of Oahu in the town of Moiliili, with the Hawaiian “locals” custom of “never trying to be too flashy or fancy” as Mr. Meada put it, ingrained into his persona.

Imperialism was a controversial idea that a nation can extend its power outward through means of diplomatic or military force. This often results in a shift of power from one major force currently in control to another. The people of that nation under control conflict may also experience wars, rebellions, or cultural destruction. Looking at some of these events, we see some positives and negatives of imperialistic action taken by the United States, and how it affected the nations imperialized by the United States. For starters, let’s look at Hawaii’s annexation.

According to centralsurvivor.org., “Hawaiian protests immediately followed the annexation of the islands and U.S. actions were denounced as an "act of war." Ultimately, by establishing a government without the consent of the governed and by denying the indigenous peoples a political voice or vote, the cry went out that the annexation of the Hawaiian islands was the ultimate subversion of democracy..” This shows that Native Hawaiians do not want to be annexed, and instead still want their rights as Native Hawaiian people, which were taken away from them from the U.S. 's “act of war”. We don’t know if the Hawaiians will want to work with us because they might decide to revolt and force us to spend more precious resources just to guarantee that Hawaii is still annexed. Not only do the Hawaiians not support the annexation of Hawaii, they also don’t benefit from it.

Empowering Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Communities Through Social Media The prevalence of social media has given a platform to any individual with a cell phone and completely changed the way we communicate. The digital space created by billions of users has partially replaced the physical spaces previously used for public discourse. For this essay, I will focus on how this platform has given marginalized communities the space and empowered them to challenge stereotypes, participate in activism, and build communities.

Today, Hawaii had one of the world's’ most multicultural populations. If we didn’t imperialize on Hawai who knows what history could be like today, but I know it has helped the U.S. in battles, economy, and dominance over communist countries today. Today, Hawaii is granted representation in the congress and senate, and the birthplace of our current president, Barack Obama. Hawaii, as a U.S. state, is guaranteed the freedom of all citizens and safe from foreign aggression. If we didn’t imperialize on Hawai who knows what history could be like today, but I know it has helped the U.S. in battles, economy, and dominance over communist countries

Have you ever considered what life for the sugar plantation laborers in Hawaii were like? Many different races came to Hawaii in the 1800s. They came to work on the sugar plantations so that they could take back their earnings to their home country. The races that came were the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, Portuguese, Norwegians, Puerto Ricans, Spaniards, germans, and Russians. Many left their families and came to Hawaii, but some brought their families with them.

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.
