Hawaii is one of the many countries that was ripped from there independence. Everything was taking from them, even there spiritual dance, the Hula. After watching this video I became very sympathetic for the Hawaiians. I started to understand what African Americans had to go through, when my ancestors were tooken from there home land. Not wanting to give up there identity or life they once knew as perfect. Americans took their hospitality and used them for merchandising purposes. Building the Pearl Harbor and various different hotels on the beach that they were not allowed to go to. Once again Americans turned a country into a money target! It never fails....if we just keep our hands away from other peoples property we wouldn't be in so much debt. The high cost of living there caused diabetes to sky rock and death. Throughout it all Hawaiians came together to celebrate there life. A student in class said " We only purchased two things we ever owned everything else we took by force." This is very true not only did we take it, but we changed their surroundings. Tricked and manipulated them out of everything they owned.
