America’s Imperialistic Grip on Hawaii

The history of Hawaii is one of colonization, exploitation, and betrayal. The annexation of these islands by the United States was not only a violation of international law, but it also signaled a grave injustice against the Hawaiian people. Their lands were stolen, their language suppressed, and their cultural practices undermined. Yet, the spirit of Aloha has never wavered. It is this spirit that must guide us as we move forward.

It is time to rectify this historical injustice. By acknowledging the theft of Hawaii and the attempts to erase their culture, we can take the first step towards healing. Recognition and justice must be the foundation upon which we build a better tomorrow.

To the Hawaiian natives, this call for justice and recognition is not just about the past, but also about the present and future. It is about reclaiming your identity, your language, and your lands. It is about preserving and celebrating your unique cultural heritage. It is about demanding equal rights and representation. It is about reclaiming your rightful place as stewards of these beautiful islands.

Chapter 1: The Ancient Hawaiian Kingdom

As Hawaiian natives, it is essential for us to understand our roots and the rich history of our people. The origins of the Hawaiian people can be traced back thousands of years, and it is a story that deserves to be celebrated and shared. In the face of American imperialism and the forced attempts to erase our culture, it becomes even more crucial to reconnect with our heritage.

To truly comprehend the origins of the Hawaiian people, we must delve into the ancient Polynesian migration. Over 1,500 years ago, brave seafarers embarked on an extraordinary voyage across vast oceans, eventually reaching the isolated islands of Hawaii. These intrepid explorers brought with them their unique customs, traditions, and language, which would lay the foundation for the vibrant Hawaiian culture we cherish today.

The Hawaiian people flourished in their newfound homes, developing a deep connection with the land and the surrounding ocean. They cultivated taro, sweet potatoes, and other crops, creating a sustainable agricultural system that sustained their communities. Fishing became an integral part of their lives, with the ocean providing an abundance of resources and inspiration for ancient Hawaiian legends and folklore.

Centuries passed, and the Hawaiian people evolved their own distinct societal structure. Chiefs, known as ali’i, governed various regions, ensuring harmony and prosperity. The concept of ‘ohana, or family, was deeply ingrained in Hawaiian society, emphasizing the importance of unity and cooperation. Music, dance, and storytelling were used to pass down ancestral knowledge and preserve the cultural identity of the Hawaiian people.

However, the arrival of American imperialism in the late 19th century disrupted this harmonious existence. The theft of Hawaii by the United States and subsequent attempts to erase our culture are painful chapters in our history. The colonization efforts aimed to suppress our language, traditions, and land rights, threatening the very essence of what it means to be Hawaiian.

Today, as we explore the origins of the Hawaiian people, it is crucial to reclaim our heritage and resist the erasure of our culture. By acknowledging and celebrating our roots, we can revive traditional practices, preserve our language, and ensure future generations understand our identity and the struggles we have faced.

The origins of the Hawaiian people are deeply intertwined with the ancient Polynesian migration and the subsequent flourishing of a unique culture on the isolated islands. Despite the challenges brought forth by American imperialism and attempts to erase our heritage, it is our duty as Hawaiian natives to reclaim our history, preserve our culture, and pass it on to generations to come.

Please follow along with me on this journey of discovery as I share my brush of madness with exquisite clarity. Luckily, I was never a quick fix-it junkie where I said no to many suggestions from board-certified or certifiable doctors because I felt it in my soul that it was merely a bonafide being placed on my issues. The names of sure doctors have been changed because, frankly, I don’t want to be sued for proven the lack in their field. 

Hippocrates was right when he said: Let the food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.
