Occupation and Displacement in Hawai'i 

Another awesome video! thank you for your work and dedication!

Excellent!! I love it! Thank you for this short documentary. I can’t believe how you could managed to put all this information in a 10 min video.

Quick question, how come these so called liberal progressives politicians and political parties do absolutely nothing to help these people? I hear crickets when this question. I'm a minority myself and I'm sorry, im not going to be bamboozled by these people. Yes dole and others racked up a fortune from taking advantage of the people ao how come they aren't held accountable? How come the rich white people get away with murder but the poor ones get the hate? Its propaganda.

In my opinion. I don't know if there's much similarity in what I'm going to say But. Puerto Rico is full of corrupt immoral politicians, which were bought by foreign investors who only care about their pockets and that's why we are where we are. Additionally, a doctrine has been created in children, youth and adults so that they do not see the common good and more personally. which creates a social crisis. And culturally our identity is lost. We already know how the case is Sixto George that the media works with the government to instill this creating a change of mind hating the culture and language in which you were born. This is what happens now and it happened in the past.

@@y.marrero Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it.

Native Floridians are being pushed out too.

It's happening all over now more and more. The margin between rich and poor are becoming larger.

america is basically nazis we suck

So did the African

I think that's a pattern behavior 🤔

I think if they refuse. Something bad will happen to them just as native Indians and Venezuela..

​@@halimahshamsiddeen9649Just look at what happened with those fires. There's already realestate offering pennies to buy up their land just like Oprah. Unless of your Hawaiian decent you shouldn't be allowed own any land.

God Almighty has given the lands to the original people that's why he created their culture and languages strategically. This is a SPIRITUAL BATTLE Unfortunately the enemy has infiltrated churches organisations and institutions. 😢😢😢😢😢

@@halimahshamsiddeen9649 World Wide

This is happening all over the world. Many people being displaced in their own countries from foreign invaders.

And this question I've asked since, why keep following the white man's religion?

❗❗❗💯❗❗❗

✨🌹✨

That’s call religion Magic 😂❤. When you believe it happens.

@@jimmym2719Yes, when YOU believe, ‘it’ happens. Works every single time. Make believe with bedtime stories.....Still going on today and that’s why AFRICA will NEVER recover....😢

Say thank you to Mark Zuckerberg

@BohemothWatts-vz1lc Zuckerberg is a POS. But my comment has nothing to do with Zuckerberg, it's in reference to our government.

Slavery Colonialism and Colonization are evil things done by evildoers. The fact that there are over 40 nations and territories in Europe for Christian Europeans to invade and Colonize. Why Native-American land? Why Asia-Pacific land, may I ask? 😔

This happens to all indigenous people on a global scale. I remember as a child watching cartoons featuring the Tasmanian devil. I had no idea that there used to be a Tasmanian people. And look at what Shell did to the Ogoni people. I could go on and on, but I think I've made myself clear, and I know other commenters may wish to add to the list.

Global

@@zmalek2555 Y’all? Let’s get one thing straight, I am not a Liberal and I hate liberals and Democrats. Calling every white person a liberal is ignorant.

so true. There's a documentary about a small town that got invaded but old rich white people. They gentrified the whole frickin town. Workers couldn't afford to live in that town (on murican mainland). It was ridiculous. Some businesses had to expand on the property they were lucky enough to own so that the workers could have a place to live that they could afford. This generation has sucked up, consumed, and shat out most of the resources and opportunities their parents and grandparents worked hard for, and will leave next to nothing for future generations. For example, they'll get more than their SS while I only get 70% of what I put in. Their grandchildren will get even less. And the politicians, their generation, wants to give them more. They're worse than a plague of locusts.

Very true how about the people bitching about the Mexican Southern border California used to be Mexico typical entitled Americans so selfish and prideful

No. Rich White people who want to gentrify everything. In Puerto Rico, we're fighting them back for trying to privatize our fucking beaches. White people don't like us in the states, and want to take our home too.

Same in my country with islands

Explain how Aboriginal culture was superior to that of muskrats or beavers? Because as far as I can tell, it's the muskrats and beavers who had a superior culture, with much greater technology and architecture.

@@josephinetracy1485 muskrats and beavers? In Australia? 😂😂

@@drewlongbottom9944 I didn't expect you to actually ANSWER the question.

@@josephinetracy1485 Yeah, because the question was incredibly stupid.

High winds were the cause. Not lasers from space or local police somehow trying to contribute to the destruction of the town. Most rabbit holes are far right or far left people grooming, others to be angry and unhappy.

Maybe try shutting up? Yapping sure hasn't helped and that's been going on long enough to prove it. Just how long you planning to beg before understanding that getting off your fat arse and moving forward is the answer to accomplishment? Good luck

LoL, it's not funny but I gotta admit, Its so horrible we must have a little laughter, as if it's a joke.

Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization are evil things done by evildoers. 😔 Native American people have not occupied an inch of European land, or slaughtered a single European in Europe; while European Colonizers have occupied both North & South America lands and terminated 99.9% of Natives population. May I ask why not let Native Americans have Europe, since Europeans have had both North/South America Continents already; a fair deal? Remember the saying, "You can't have your cake and eat it too", and "A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do". 🤷 - Civil war ended centuries-long Slavery worldwide. - World War II ended centuries-long Colonialism worldwide. - World War III ends centuries-long Colonization worldwide... Just saying.

​@@davidh4129Precisely! We do NOT own the Earth, the Earth owns us...and one day we will return to her. We all share a short stay here... enjoy it while it lasts!

Absolutely friend me too as a native Cherokee; and none of this land is anyone’s to own- the creator has given it as a resource to respect and be able to use for when we are here however man has ruined it - trying to own something they never had the right too

Speaking of Native American people who have not occupied an inch of European land, or slaughtered a single European in Europe; while European Colonizers have occupied both North & South America lands and terminated 99.9% of Natives population. * Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia. No wonder Mother Russia is so very huge. * By the way, the "land grab" is more of the same in the Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in the Asia-Pacific region. * Russia occupied vast resource rich Siberia to Far East ever since 17th & 18th century, while Anglo British, sailing halfway around the world from jolly old England, took over giant resourceful landmass of Australia & New Zealand in 18th & 19th century; all in Asia-Pacific, while Native people of Asia-Pacific region are left with and quarreling over a few tiny islands in South China Sea while Anglo Australia/New Zealand have already claimed big chunks of nearby Antarctica.

that was no " wildfire" too many suspicious actions and official decisions that make no sense if they were trying to help

The Hawaiian elders fought to keep that area devastated by fire from developers and won in court with only caveat unless a “natural” disaster. I am not certain you are correct that this effected mostly non natives since Hawaiian elders wanted it protected for their people

Absolutely! Always the burn out method is used to utlize Eminent Domain. Governor Green even said he was contemplating selling the Lahaina peoples lands to the government. It's all historical strategy- crimminal acts for power & greed.

welcome to U$ gen0cides, the best in the world, where those being gen0cided will continue to love their european settlers.

The God of Abraham shall be willing to put right, all the oppression and suffering the Natives Hawaiian have endured all these years. God speed Justice Lord! 🙏😇🙏

Dnt feel bad. I was in school 20 yrs ago... and they never taught this either. I believe they r writing history today as we speak in public schools. Its sickening.

All I have ever been taught in school was how terrible and evil the US and everyone else’s. I have never been taught in school that Hawaii gladly entered into the United States union. Give them independence tomorrow, the country would fall to pieces in a matter of months. They would be begging to be part of the US system. It’s unfortunate that the world is tough, but reimagining the way reality works is nuts.

Really?min the US? Because- I was never taught about all of the violent battles between the previous residents before colonialism or all of the horrible land wars and blood that they themselves were guilty of…or anything good that came from a pre-industrial society going to a paleolithic one- If anything, I was ONLY every taught this version of history

@@zigmunstardust4567The only people who were allowed to vote was the military. Of course the military wanted Hawaii to become a state. Natives never had a choice.

@@littleboi5286 friend- That’s not actually true, they wanted US dollar, they wanted US infrastructure, Hawaii welcomed being part of the US state with open arms. It’s only now that Hawaii is facing the same problem as the rest of the United States with housing and the like, that all of a sudden it’s a bad deal. People love being ethnocentric and blaming other people for their problems, it’s human nature.

No wonder, at present day the Lord God Almighty send its "divine fire" to destroy the whole of Maui. The oppression of the Natives Hawaiian displeases God. Be warned..!

Always was. Black Rock trying to re-colonize what was already colonized .

that fire in Hawaii was probably set on purpose, to steal the land, they're already moving in to buy the Beach from property land worth Multi MILLIONS ,,it's all Greed

Ke Akua Help the heart of Mankind. Heal the land. Yhe hearts 💕 Make ALOHA NOW

Beyond colonialism, it will be a DICTATORSHIP, like we never seen before. They want to destroy the Hawaiian Spirit and the people. By killing them and take their land.

lol

@@JuanLopez-cf4vc I'm a black man. We had nothing to do with the illegal annexation of Hawaii. As Queen Liliuokalani was treated like a black person on her trip to the US capitol. Should I make assumptions about the Spanish part in colonialization about you since you have a Spanish name? And my wife is much more knowledgeable than you'll ever be about the history of Hawaii.

Was he husking coconuts when you met him?

Oprah, return the land in Maui to the native Hawaiians. Oprah, you have made Maui a living hell for the native Hawaiians.

@@chriswlee7181 Not just Oprah but other Billionaires like Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg!

Hawaii should be restored back to the indigenous natives and their royal government restored and be independent.

@@SherryUribe I fully support this, it would collapse in a matter of months, and they would be begging to join the United States union again, just as they were happy to do it before. I’m so tired of you all taking history out of context to get these sanctimonious pearl clutching grievances.

apparently, you didn't see the video and if not then go directly to around the 8 minute segment and see how one native hawaiian, the natives would not only exist but thrive without any haole help !! I'm native, went to Punahou school and lived and worked at the post office, honolulu international airport high end security and then became financially independent; while moving to Virginia a few months before Covid broke out. I can tell you now that the natives are being priced out, but they also have a chance to gain their land back(perhaps not all of it) but enough to become independent thriving citizens again; just as the native indians of north america have done and will continue to do.@@zigmunstardust4567

@@zigmunstardust4567 _”Just as they were happy to do it before…”_ when was that?! We never joined the US, we stopped the annexation through petitions. The US then UNLAWFULLY flooded a sovereign country with their own citizens (50,000 Hawaiians to 500,000 Americans) and illegally held a plebiscite vote (statehood) where ONLY AMERICANS WERE ALLOWED TO VOTE. Hawaiians were not allowed to vote, one of the requirements to be allowed to vote, was you had to be American… that’s a w^% crime.

and the common denominator is anglosaxons.

That’s why Planned Fire in Lahaina to buy Native Land! People are waking up!! Thank you for the video ❤

@@barkobummer Anglo-Saxon is a culture that died out around 1066 AD . It is Not a Race. So next question racist? The English from England Colonized Hawaii . So next question ?English = Native Britons (Celts and Gaels) , Latins (Basque , Italic, and Spanish ), Germanic (Over 20 different Language groups and cultures around 500AD) , Scandinavians , Irish , Welsh , French (Aquitanians , Gauls, Roman Latin , Spanish , Basque, Germanic ) All of these groups are part of the DNA of Modern England . Then you have also Chinese , Africans , Middle Easterners and Indian later integration

@@roboparks I agree , the Normans invaded England 1066 , but they really did not replace or cleanse England completely some ethnic English are still 30 40 % Anglo-Saxons , 30 40 % British . Race is such a social construct .

The original Native Hawaiians were a black colored people. They hide the truth but it’s very much still available to research it for yourself. Majority (if not all) of the native Hawaiians were bread (wiped) out a long time ago.

I wasn’t too shocked because she’s a realtor.

@@armykayla9971 😂 factz

The realtor looked more European than Native anyway.

@@bojack2011 sure, let’s go judging people off the looks.

@@OkikaHawaii im not judging anyone. The woman looks more European than Native. It's not an issue to point that out.

Me too. She says that because she’s become rich off of selling lands stollen from her own people… what a sellout.

They don't teach "woke"....right?

Now YOU KNOW AND THERE IS MORE THAN YOU THINK ! Puerto Rico , Mexico lands !

Most don't read or know history. They did this to themselves

How sad it makes me cry

Literally you’ll never heard anything negative in American history classes in public schools other than Slavery and Jim Crow. All the atrocities are left out purposely for major colleges and universities where history can be studied deeply.

Most people from all over don't know Hawaiian history

I didn’t know as I was born in the US in 1961. This was never taught in our private or public schools as I went to both. Thankfully this can come to our attention with post like this. I been to Hawaii 2 times and Kauai was my favorite as it seemed less commercial and the people there seemed happier. At 50, I stepped into the beauty of Hawaii and am very sad to here what the wealth oligarchs are doing and how they pay off governments to do so.

We went to Hawaii on a trip and took a tour and our tour guide told us the history of Hawaii including what is talked about here . She said it is usually not told and it was so sad and eye opening. As someone from the Philippines with all her imperfections, I so glad we fought for independence. We still own our lands passed down from generation to generation.

I also don't give a damn about history or anyone else's lives but by own. This is why I am happier .

Most Americans have only been taught the worst most insane versions of their history… Including this. This has no contacts, it’s just grievance for grievance sick. Giveaway independence, the whole thing with crumble in a month and we could stop having these ridiculous conversations that are based in reality

FACTS!!!!

Maybe they should stop selling their property, You get out of towners cannot buy land their if its not for sale

I thought diversity is a strength?

@@ironpig701 how can they when the white peoples laws have increasingly ruined the cost of living in the islands? Policies such as the Jones Act have made life harder and more expensive to maintain in Hawaii. They're not selling their property just to sell their property, they have no choice and migrate outwards to the mainland and abroad to survive.

@@ironpig701 It’s easy to be ignorant on the internet. Maybe you should do some research before commenting about things you know nothing about.

It is NOT plan. If you’re familiar with Natural disaster, you will know it happens all the time. The state government of Maui is incompetent! That’s 100% But, I do believe corporation/rich people will take advantage of the situations of the fires.

This is the biggest crime against humanity in my lifetime

It is a crime - and may I just add - I don’t mean that like that everyone should have a chance - that’s exactly how i feel everyone should have a chance at life and no one has the right to run over another person or take with no respect - I love all people based on character - but it is just like my front door - it’s locked right now - if you knock I’ll open it and as long as your not a maniac I’ll let you in but I don’t leave my front door wide open for monsters to come in at night - there’s some real bad folks out there - it takes some descernment and prayers to take care of yourself and your family that’s should be the way to do things- if not then you would have to wonder why and the kinda person that doesn’t understand that - don’t be a sheep 🐑

I'm a True believer in God and in my spirit and my soul tells me that this was a crime from someone who is American (the same thing Happened in Canada- SO CALLED FOREST BULLSHIT FIRE!! this is insane they're trying to take land this way and try to kill Hawaiian people 😢😡WE AS PEOPLE ARE MORE THAN THESE CRIMINALS..WE NEED TO FIGHT ..FIGHT!!

World about to watch a modern day land grab of W Maui right in front of all our eyes. This was done intentionally!

All people who have white people "discover" their land knows this feeling...at what point are we goi g to start doing something about it is the question.

​@@So_Catoyou clearly have euro ancestors 😂😂😂 why dont you start with yourself

@@So_Cato B Blacks were conquered, genocide and murder and miss abused. By other blacks in Africa, Native Americans were abused and genocide and stolen and raped, and did all of the terrible things, you are reimagine history, because you want to leverage some kind of imaginary rethinking of how reality works, but go for it, let’s start doing the moral algebra and see how brutal nd disgusting your ancestors were also.

​@@So_Cato You speak through a tunnel. This happened in all societies throughout time. Does anyone speak of all the white lands that were taking up but colonizers. Then those lands taken and built up by colonizers. Middle easterm empires, oriental empires. Geonicides in Africa. Ethnic cleansing. Everyone focus on the white man like we are a collective one. Do you assiciate with the ethnic cleansers of Africa? Or the hands if Chicago? Stop seeing things with tunnel vision. Do you really know whis responsible for such natrocieties?

​@@justpdeSo is Oprah.

Of course they don't even know or can accept that they are psychological narcissist. I have been studying the history of the breed and recognize their sick mentality. Evil.

Not all Americans are racist! I had no choice in where I was born, but I have a choice in what I believe and where my heart is. I studied Hawaiian history in depth. I apologize for the injustices that your people have had and continue to endure!

@@Cat-ik1wo You should try instead doing a historical breed by breed comparison, you would be shocked at how much better. The first breed actually is .how much more compassionate and altruistic compared to the other breeds that you speak of. How are most of the developed world is better off because of them economically, and bby every possible conceivable metric, including justice and peace

It's Americans who took over not the Japanese

Pretty much after 2008, everything just got worse in a most accelerated fashion too. Like a studio in Hawaii used to cost right around $550 to $600 between 2003 to 2008. Then from 2008 to 2013, it quickly jumped up to $1,200 to $1,500, and still going higher rapidly pace wise.

Hyperinflation so that the island becomes white. Same tactic Europeans play across the 3rd world and same tactic Israel applies in Palestine. Even within US, cities and towns where there is a large minority presence, hyperinflation exists, while US cities, states, or towns that are white are the least expensive but minorities cannot live there due to institutional racism and intimidation from population. In Los Angeles, I cannot lease a nice appartment without having a six figure salary as landowners make it more difficult, but I can buy almost a mansion compared to California housing standards in the MidWest and South with my savings and salary. However, the market and people will make it more difficult for me to obtain one because I am not American white. Banks and real state agents will more discriminatory. There is discrimination in the progressive states but at least you can find housing, but little by little everyday unregulated inflation due to institutionalized racism directed at minorities is becoming more prevalent.

Thats whybthe WELFARE in those places is so rampant.

I am Native Hawaiian, I was born and raised there. Therefore I am native. Those who have Hawaiian ancestry have been treated like blacks and told they are victims. And you want to know who was failing in our schools and living off of social programs. Many with Hawaiian blood are living their life waiting for a free house on a Hawaiian homestead.

please don't call us native hawaiian. it's kanaka maoli or indigenous hawaiian. native hawaiian means a person born in the state of hawaii, they can be any race.

1 thing for certain, US government is evil, shame on it, busy inciting wars in other countries in the name or pretext of liberating them, yet under their nose, the indegenous Hawaiians need their freedom from US, irony isn't it, look at Iraq, Afghan etc all were ' liberated,' by US who sent wars to overthrow their governments without ever consulting those people about wanting 'freedom', now their countries lie in ruins in much worse conditions than ever before.

Must be why 100% of Filipino women dream of finding an American man, marrying him and having half American babies with him. Hardly any other nationality besides for Filipino females drop their panties faster at the very first eighth of an American man.

Exactly! Get rid of all the military bases!

Perhaps the people of Puerto Rico may also learn from us, the Filipinos. The winding and tumultuous roads we took towards nationhood, the ups and downs as to how we got here stumbling along the way and even now still strugling. It's been difficult as to even this day we are still trying to regain our identity, our culture, our native languages, writings and dialects. But proudly, we are our own people in our own land. To quote Pres. Quezon's speech on civil liberties in 1939: I would rather have a government run like hell by Filipinos than a government run like heaven by any foreigner. I said that once; I say it again, and I will always say it as long as I live.

Unfortunately, Filipino kids who only spoke English are also increasing nowadays. We may be able to gain independence, but we're not totally off the hook because the Americanized elite class in the Philippines is continuing what the Americans started. Even though we can still say that 100+ languages in the Philippines are alive and thriving, the rise of English is also threatening their existence, a large-scale language shift within few generations could prove to be fatal to our languages.

American propaganda is making up all these fake news about China. Go there and see it for yourself. Americans are too brain washed by the propaganda medias. America is in steady decline over the last 40 years, while China is progressing dramatically and will definitely surpass U.S. in every aspects. Another place I love is Singapore. It's by far the safest, most modern, most educated and advanced society. I love Japan, but it is also in decline in recent years. It's under America control, so it cannot grow economically at Japan's own will, where China has its own destination firmly in its own hands. Despite all the fake news about CCP, I think it did a great job pulling so many millions of people out of poverty. You should seek out non-bias alternative news source and learn more about China and other advance countries and societies. U.S. is unfortunately dying.

@@gabrielferrer2400 Also western colonialism is all about robbing resources from these colonies, especially places like Africa where west stole natural resources and did human trafficking throughout the history. China is helping Africa to build railroads, hospitals, schools, and infrastructures in exchange for their natural resources.

And the same thing happened to the Philippines and Guam as well, when the United States ruled the Philippines and Guam, alongside with Puerto Rico after the three were sold by Spain to the United States. And unlike Guam and Puerto Rico, the Philippines managed to gained its independence from the United States on July 4, 1946, after the Philippines was liberated by the United States (under the command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and being accompanying with Philippine Commonwealth President Sergio Osmeña [who succeeded Manuel Quezon as Philippine Commonwealth President, after Quezon had passed away in exile in the United States, and not lived long enough of seeing the Philippines gaining independence], in its return to the Philippines) from the occupying Japanese imperial forces at the twilight onset of World War II (of which its date of independence would later be changed towards to the original date of independence that the Philippines first gained its independence and freedom from the Spanish colonizers, June 12, 1898), of which the United States fulfilled its kept promise to the Philippines and the Filipino people, of making the Philippines gain its independence and the rest was history.

EO 100% agree don’t do it.

80% already voted to be a state. It would benefit them more that way than to remain a colony without any voting power on the laws that directly affect them. If Puerto Rico becomes its own nation than they would fall prey to Cuban Communism as the macheteros are already a Marxist wing on the island with ties to Cuban Marxist. And this is coming from a Cuban. I would hate to see PR the closest thing to my home become another communist prison in paradise.

​@@bogdan78popDefinitely a one sided coin.

@@ianmangham4570 Please do explain yourself....!!!! You can't just say NOT...!!!

@@bogdan78pop So you're saying Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman!

Sorry to hear bro! That was a corrupted move to invoke corruption in your ppl and land. These bad ppl educate themselves on how to conspire corruption on good ppl land. Which is easier than building corruption on corrupted lands. I wonder if it's good or bad thing to teach our keiki corruption as part of the education system. There are a lot of life's truth that happens in our world that not everyone would want to educate oneself in. For the ones that dont go a find out the truth are now sided with the corrupters because of the fact that majority rules. Good example would be Donald trump and the Democratic party.

I would be interested in seeing the facts of this episode and how it can strengthen my intuition.

Government should try building public housing like apartments with a good security. This can help increase local employment.

@Arjun Savanur the government shouldn't have the right to take other countries and people's land. That is the a tual problem.

La mejor explicación que he escuchado en tan pocas palabras ♥️🇵🇷

They Are Crooks

Tengo una pregunta personal para ti. Realmente crees en el nacionalismo o crees en un mundo que cada vez crea menos barreras en sus fronteras. Te doy un ejemplo: un psicólogo de México decide aprovechar la tecnología para trabajar desde Mexico generando trabajo para otros psicólogos generando ingresos muy buenos para ellos con clientes de USA. Consecuencia: En este caso hay muy poca oferta de psicólogos en USA por lo tanto todos ganan en el proceso. Otro ejemplo: un extranjero llega a USA y con su capacidad logra tener éxito. Aprovecha la buena educación y recursos de becas que no había en sus país. Muchos hacen lo mismo hasta que tienen mayor poder adquisitivo llevando a los que vivieron por generaciones en un país a tener que mudarse a lugares más pobres de USA. Consecuencia: las más grandes ciudades de USA son multiculturales. Donde yo vivo ya somos mayoría los que hablamos español. Y las mejores universidades de USA tienen porcentajes altos o incluso son mayoría los extranjeros.

Well...Puerto Rico is not even a state and it's been happening here...young Puerto Ricans leaving...people from USA and other countries buying the properties and rents going UP...

Humanity should always take priority over profit, especially if you're already making profit. We need a new paradigm for the world.

Democrat majority are to be blamed.

wuuut? been here for 30 years. paradise still remains and the way of life is a perspective. you see a buidling a cry concrete jungle. i see a buidling and appreciate human architecture and effort

@@sessionsinparadise7357 Sure. Enjoy your human architecture, sounds great. I'll keep crying about the concrete jungle. Thank you for the comment

@@sessionsinparadise7357 architecture for the sake of architecture or corporate profits, especially when it replaces the worlds beautiful but shrinking natural spaces- and especially if it displaces native/indigenous populations- is abhorrent and i will add inhumane. as the climate changes and wealth disparity grows worse and worse architecture must be centered around preserving natural landscapes and wildlife, with the needs of indigenous/native people and climate placed before massive profits. which imo requires more skills and creativity and ingenuity.

I barely found out who my family is on my dads side about a year ago. Native Hawaiian decent. My grandfather who I got to meet last year before he passed had to move to the mainland because living in Hawaii had proven too difficult for him. My only paternal uncle still lives there but works all the time and doesn’t get to enjoy the beach or much of what the islands offer. My grandfather who had been a successful Hawaiian musician didn’t have all too much to show for all the years of dedication. Especially because he didn’t get to stay in his beloved Hawaii. But displacement among locals is happening everywhere.

@@truthprevails5760 Europe for Native Europeans, Africa for Native Africans, America for Native Americans, Asia-Pacific for Native Asians-Pacific islanders.. Just saying.

@@truthprevails5760 Isn't that a jaw dropping sad truth that Native American population in their motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION. A jaw dropping shockingly sad truth, I must say.

It's not working class America that's causing all of this destruction, it's corporate America the so-called elites! Elites are the scum of the earth, serpent seedline, satan's people on the earth! Evil

Politics son, get past it and realize the states of Hawaii don't care to protect their families, friends and visitors that bring all their money. As men, we should all get out there and clear plant growth off power lines but instead, they lay around getting circus tattoos tapped on them? Great, that'll help Just shows that dominate traditions and stagnating guilt cultures causes future disaster. Hawaii is America, grow up men and take charge of your future, stop listening to your mamas, be men! Be Americans for futures sake, the past is over, step into today and be an asset to your country that has protected your freedoms, we have enough liabilities , we need your strength, not more crying victims!

The evil pale skin people

Except there is no "Europe". That land was "colonized", too. So where did the "colonizers" really come from?

You know the people from Puerto Rico are actually descendants of the Europeans and Africans that came. The natives of PR were wiped out from disease or murdered.

​@@lonelyalaskan7208 As a native south american i'm not completely with "decolonization". That will never happen and people migrate all the time. In fact Native Americans migrated from East Asia. The idea that if you're a part of some group you should be in some place only sounds a little racist and conservative. There's already mixed people from all continents and that's going to keep going on until there is no native asian-european-american-african only native Earth people

YOUR home?? 🙄

Gentrification is what makes a shitty neighborhood a nice neighborhood and quadruples your homes value.

Yes her home. It’s happening all over. People move and populate an area rising home prices cause rising property tax causes inability to afford to live on property that’s been in your family for years. That’s what’s happening in Hawaii and all over America.

@@RedLeg777 Time to build dense housing

So Native Americans are being Push Out?

I went there 2 weeks ago I literally felt their pain that must have been it I felt so angry but couldn’t explain myself why. And flew back home early. Only back in Europe I felt immediate relief. That was super weird

You’re sick by a version of events that is completely divorced from reality. But I fully support giving Hawaii independence so that in a few months time it will inevitably crumble and we can go back to 50 states and stop having these ridiculous conversations that aren’t based in reality. Hawaii was happy to join the United States union, and without them, some other power would have absorb them. That’s not good or evil it’s just how these things work. Use common sense, not unbridled sanctimony.

@@zigmunstardust4567 and you got it all figured out. So happy we have sensitive human being on this earth who can sense and feel more than meets the eye. You’ll get there eventually. It’s inevitable

@@SillySpanish It’s not about compassion, it’s about the reality of how things work. I 1000% stand behind truth, love, justice, and righteousness. But that has to be based in reality.… Making up narratives that are full of lies by omission to stir outrage and grievance. I would say is anti-compassionate. It gives people miss displaced emotions that won’t fix anything.

When your conversation catches up to where the governments stopped colonizing outside their borders, and turned on their own citizens and own culture, I will welcome you as well.

@@nunyabidness3075 indeed

Pacific Islanders colonized all the islands around them the same way you cry babies. Do you think these"proud warriors" showed up peaceful watching rainbows and sniffing the farts of the neighbors island? No they bashed their neighbors heads in with primitive weapons. Do u think they had a peaceful democracy no they had a king . They were warriors on boats until the big bad white man showed up with better warriors and better boats.

@@nunyabidness3075 but they didnt stop colonizing outside their borders. they are STILL colonizing outside their borders....look at hawaii for example.....

@@sabin97 This is where you fill us in on how the state of Hawaii is still being colonized by the USA? Okay, go ahead.

"Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization" are all evil things done by evildoers.. Speaking of Colonization, may I ask why didn't thy global Colonizer Anglo British loot/occupy/colonize vast green fertile bountiful Iceland in the Atlantic, a short distance away from jolly old England, with hardly any population even today, and why New Zealand in Asia-Pacific region halfway around the world?

Colonialism and Colonization are evil things done and benefited by evildoers. Europe for Native Europeans, Africa for Native Africans, America for Native Americans, Asia-Pacific for Native Asians-Pacific islanders. Like I said, Colonialism & Colonization are evil things done by evildoers.. It’s a real shame the kind of cruelty humans are capable of inflicting on other humans. 😔

correct, this is not a hawaii problem, its all over the state specially with inflation now after the pandemic.. last year some companies baught over 300k houses to sell it for more, they were paying in cash and in many cases wouldnt even look at the house just buy and pay cash.. this hurts the regular folks who want to own a home and now cant get one because the pricess go up so much along with rent.. there is homeless people everywhere

Your statement is correct, however in the case of Hawaii is more about imperialism rather than realtor business inflation. It’s about a country invading another country and taken away from the natives.

@@ericpizarro3084 You clearly don’t know the history of Hawaii and let’s be honest , your statements arise from racism towards white people.

@@dezertson2011 how idiot can you be. You just don’t like the idea of hearing that the USA history is full of imperialism, hate, racism and you dare to call me racist? You really got into my nerves and write whatever the F…. You want. I will not reply anything else other than this.

@dezertson2011 so who invaded Hawaii? Green people? Sorry bro, do you know history? Who was running the country in 1898? Oh yea, white guys. I don't think he was trying to be racist towards white people, but let's be realistic here. "White " guys were running the game back then. Let's see who was playing the game of world conquest, oh yea whitey. So to deny that is hilarious especially when you guys are so uptight about others in Europe and America at the time. I believe there was a little something called manifest destiny. You might wanna read about that. Or any book really.

Remember the saying, "You can't have your cake and eat it too" , and "A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do". The truth of the matter is that indigenous Native People would forever be the subject of scapegoat, and victimized by the Colonizers of their lands, as long as they occupy those vast rich bountiful lands in order to justify their occupation. In other words, the Colonizers are 'Living in Denial'/ 'Living in Sin'. 🤷 Europe for Native Europeans, Africa for Native Africans, America for Native Americans, Asia-Pacific for Native Asians-Pacific islanders. 🤷 The world is full of wolves wearing sheep's clothing and playing victims. Just saying. It's a sad, sad world we live in; yesterday, today and tomorrow. (What I meant to say was "it's an evil world we live in", but I'd rather not say.)

Sometimes you just have to move with the times or you stay behind.

aren't aztec and apache separate native cultures ..............n jus asking

@@eltonlewis4979 I think they are just separate cultures.

@@peggysue5025 that will never happen because then we would all end up in the same spot and we won’t fit. People just have to move with the times or be left behind.

I wish the racist white elitists who are crying about China would practice what they preach and go back to where they came from and leave the native Hawaiians, Guamanians, Marshal Islanders, and Puerto Ricans alone!

Imagine a revolution, where American citizens pretend to vacation and drive all those wealthy squatters out, theyll probably have to deploy the coast guard or navy 😂 but I think it's so wrong, like people's ancestors' bones are in there and they have to be disconnected from that.

@@accordionjustice9166 true, what's interesting is there are multiple angles I've seen about this robbery. There was another documentary that showed how exactly congress approved everything and threw the last Regnant queen in prison

@@waterbaqua5627 Yes, President McKinley presided over the Congress which annexed Hawaii into the Union. The Queen was briefly imprisoned during the exchange but it wasn't anything violent or violating. She ended up lived the rest of her life in Washington Place in Honolulu

American education never informed people about the exploitation of the Hawaiian indigenous natives. Today they live in poverty and most are homeless. Now there has been a recent fire on island Maui in city of Lahaina was destroyed and thousands of people died.

Hawaii is a STATE PUERTO RICO is not.

None of this is breaking news but if someone wants to grift and make a quick American dollar of it, then i guess it will happen.

I am Boricua also and what is happening there is going to happen to P.R. we got U.S. politicians buying up land in P.R. They going to run the people out then make it a U.S. state.

@@luisvillanueva9463 Did you even watch the video? Or did you only saw until colonialism was mentioned and it got u triggered?

What hardships do the Hawaiians have that others don't? Many of Hawaiian heritage have succeeded, and many are held back by the liberals' thinking that the Hawaiians make for great victims just like the blacks. What other race do you see that are claiming they are oppressed?

BYU?

@@gingerdurbin2726 Nope, Hawai'i Pacific. Got my Bachelor's in Marine Biology

That’s right! Tell the white oppressors to Free Hawaii! Free Guam! Free the Marshall Islands! Free Puerto Rico! Free the Indians!

Look into what people think of Ptah having a huge place there. She built a road that is only for her- to go to Kihei. The people who live up in the cheaper areas have to drive over an hour to jobs in Kihei- but she won’t give permission for them to use that road.

I was so appalled I missed some spelling. But my meaning got across. We take … TAKE peoples land from the generations of families that has owned them then toss them out like trash. I actually went out daily walking around the beaches, mountains and such. I physically sat down and spoke with these people. After my second day there I asked about why I was seeing so many homeless during a segway tour. Ua lawe ke aupuni i ko kakou aina i ka wa kahiko loa… that means the government took our land a long time ago..and this is just one place we have done such! Disgraceful
