Hello Mr. or Miss Expensive

Yes Hawaii can be expense, and when you come to Hawaii to live, you should already have a job offer or another income, Pension, SSI, IRA, 401K, Trust Fund, whatever. To tell people, not to come to live there, will push a non conformist to jump on the next plane.

I live in California and no matter how exclusive a beach or mountain area is, from San Diego all the way north to Crescent City, it will attract, what you may call the unemployed, transients and low-lifers. They have one thing in common with the rest of the population and that is, they love the beaches and mountains too and there is nothing anybody can do to keep them away.

I'm a 55 year old white retired man (Haole) living in California, my wife is 1/2 …show more content…

Being married to a Hawaiian woman for 31 years has taught me the pecking order in Hawaii and where I'm at on that list. Again this is only my Haole opinion.

1. Pure Hawaiians

2. Hawaiian decent mixed with other races, born in Hawaii (Hapa's)

3. All other Non Haoles Non Hawaiian decent, mixed Asian races, know as (Locals), born in Hawaii

4. Mixed Hawaiian's married to Haoles and both born in the Mainland. (Me and My wife)

5. All Tourists

If you are white and born in Hawaii, I know you love to call yourself (LOCAL) but the truth is among Hawaiians and Non Haole Locals which are 90% of the population, you will never be anything more than a Haole taking up space in Hawaii.

My advantages in Hawaii is my marriage to a woman of Hawaiian descent, knowledge and respect of the Hawaiian culture, and contributing to the Hawaiian economy, my (Fat Wallet). Other than that I'm just another Haole taking up space in Hawaii.

To some it all up, the face of Hawaiians and Hawaii has been changing for decades and housing has it ups and downs due to population growth and at times foreign investment. There is nothing you can to do to keep the rift raft out of Hawaii. Focus on your career and finances, enjoy what Hawaii has to offer you as

Throughout the novel Waimea Summer, we see the how the protagonist Mark Hull struggles with experiencing “Native” Hawaiian culture as opposed to his half - haole Hawaiian culture. Throughout this paper, the term “Native” Hawaiian culture will refer to the social construct caused by Hawaiian history from 300 – 800 BCE right up to the annexation of Hawaii in 1898. The haole Hawaiian culture refers to the social construct as caused by colonizers, which started in 1778 and continues to this present day. By experiencing Native Hawaiian culture, Mark changes his perception of Old Hawaii as being a pristine, comfortable, and safe place, into one that views Old Hawaii as harsh, un-sanitized, and bloody. His struggle to cope with such a culture shock

Yet, tourism soon became the top industry in Hawaii, and loads of caucasians were moving to Hawaii from the mainland. Over time, although violence has declined, resentment still lies deep within. Natives are seen harassing “haoles” at the beach or harmlessly intimidating some, but on a rare occasion they go rogue and do violent actions. These instances are fast disappearing, but there are still areas in Oahu where “haoles” are encouraged to not venture into, like Waimea Bay where locals are often unpleasant to travellers. Still, millions each year visit the picturesque island of Oahu, with increasing numbers

First of all, many Hawaiians lost their land due to not meeting the requirements put up by the Land Commission, a five member committee. Cachola said the requirements were, “... “... they had to have their kuleana surveyed, or measured for size and boundaries. Then they had to present their claims to the Land Commission, showing that the land was cultivated to earn a living and that they had a right to those kuleana. Lastly, they also needed to file their claim by 185.”4” (94). Many of the maka’ainana did not make these requirements.

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

In Steve Olson’s article, “The End of Race: Hawaii and the Mixing of Peoples,” he mainly talks about how the mixing of race can eventually lead to the pure races being meaningless due to there being a lot of mixed race and eventually rarely having a pure race. Olson talks about “Hapa haoles” in the beginning of his article, which means half European, half non-European. The first Hapa Haoles were born on the island of Maui in the end of 1779. This was the beginning of the mixed race. The European’s, which were considered dirty, “reduced the native population [of Polynesians] to fewer than 50,000,” in Hawaii at the year 1891, because of the diseases they brought(Olson, 301).

Before the Mahele and the years of other land ownership rules, the Native Hawaiians had a fairly strong relationship with their government, as they shared the same morals and rules, worked together with logic to come up with solutions, and helped the community. After the Mahele, since foreigners started to dominate the economic scene and most of the big businesses in Hawaii, the government slowly started to lose power and control over Hawaii. This was seen when many ali’i had to sell large portions of their lands because their workers, the maka’ainana, were moving away to get better-paying jobs (Lâm 233-288). The ali’i had no choice but to sell their land because they couldn’t pay the land taxes, and the foreigners could then buy the land for themselves since they had the experience and the money. The konohiki became unfair at sharing resources sometimes, making everyday life a struggle for the maka’ainana (Hio et al.).

Today, Native Hawaiians have become a minority population in Hawaii, and are in the worst state of health out of all the residents of Hawaii” (Osorio). Similarly to other territories conquered by the U.S, Hawaii’s traditional culture was destroyed and replaced by Western customs and influence. These irreversible changes have left a major impact on what our world looks like today. Unfortunately Hawaiians weren’t the only ones who experienced the horrendous impacts of American imperialism. In 1901 William Fulbright wrote, “The Struggle on the islands has been naught but a

Many Native Hawaiian people have lost touch with their culture. Many people around the world don’t know about the unique Hawaiian culture. People in America don’t know a lot about these unique Hawaiian arts either. Many of the old Hawaiian traditions were lost because foreigners took over the Hawaiian islands and banned many Hawaiian traditions that have been going on for decades. This loss of culture was devastating for the people and was hard to gain back after almost being completely eliminated.

Invasive species have been a massive problem in Hawaii since the 17s and 18 hundreds. At first, it wasn’t that big of a deal, but the influx of invasive species grew over time, and it became a dangerous slippery slope. Species that were once alienated poured into Hawaii and destroyed indigenous species that had been native to Hawaii for a very long time. Since then, the Hawaiian people and advocates of removing invasive plants and animals have banded together to help remove these species. There has been a great global effort to remove invasive species in all places, but the hasty spread of them has made it almost impossible to eradicate a lot of them. I think my group can majorly help with this by educating you all about the seriousness of invasive species.

In Hawaii, it is rare to see the traditional Hawaiian culture carried out. By contrast, Samoa is filled with amazing cultural traditions that are still practiced in every household. When vacationing in Hawaii I don’t get to experience any interesting traditions. Last time I was in Hawaii, my friends just shopped because there weren’t any other interesting activities to do. The most fun place in Hawaii is the Polynesian Cultural Center.

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.

Chinatown, the home to many Chinese immigrants, holds one of the most historical museum in New York. 215 Centre St. NY, 10013 might not be a noticeable address at first glance. But this address is actually the location of the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA). Surrounded by the Chinese natives of the area, I began to look at their age, gender, race/ethnicity, and the different languages they use. When I first came on a Monday morning there were not many people around the block.
