Hawaiian News

1) I watched the Edgy Lee's documentary on the Native Hawaiians this past Tuesday. It was an interesting film about the Native Hawaiian culture, their history, their hardships, and the Hawaiian Renaissance (in the 1970s) when many Native Hawaiians rediscovered their ancestor's culture.

In earlier post, I mentioned about this one Chinese male who whined that it's not fair that bus passes and street names have Hawaiian words. I wish that Chinese guy saw that Native Hawaiian documentary, so he would understand what was really unfair.

2) Lilikala Kame'eleihiwa (UH Hawaiian Studies prof) complained that a white male won the 1st Grammy for Hawaiian music.

What else would Lilikala demand? Would she protest if a non-white won an award for country music, heavy metal or punk rock?

PS: Lilikala Kame'eleihiwa real name is Lily Dorton
