This documentary video is fascinating story of Hawaiian people displaced and they nearly have no native Hawaiian population and cultulre.
Before European contact to Hawaii, they were more than half a millon pure Hawaiians in the island. However, after 50 years later, populations droped off. As American missionaries upheaval of the religious structure: moreover, sugarcane and pineapple farms took their land and warfare(WW2). It would be a predictable result of no more pure Hawaiian in 2044.
I listened this about one and half hours. I chooes this video because I Interested about Asian immigrant. This video affects me to think of extinction. Unfortunately, it reminds me Korea Independent from Japan long thims ago. If we didn't fight or lose, I would not be here, now. If I have a chance to join for Independent of Hawaii, I would like to advocate.
