Sample text
Keawe is conscious of the differences between the Hawaiian and Atiu traditions, and is careful to respect the difference and not contaminate the Atiu culture by sharing too much of the Hawaiian culture (Hartwell 1996). Another example of the Native Hawaiians’ cultural distinction from other Polynesian or Pacific Islanders is the recent protests against the casting of wrestling superstar The Rock to play Kamehameha in an upcoming movie. Although The Rock’s ancestry includes some Samoan roots, the Hawaiian community is outraged that a non-Hawaiian actor will be playing the part of King Kamehameha.
The Native Hawaiians are deeply invested in living in accordance with their traditional customs as much as possible. CONCLUSION The authenticity of Native Hawaiians, as an indigenous group, is not in doubt. Native Hawaiians have clearly established their relationship to the first inhabitants of Hawai´i. The United States’ take-over of the Hawaiian monarchy and the Hawaiian Islands is clearly documented, and the circumstances surrounding this taking are largely unambiguous. The relation to ancestors of the first inhabitants of the island is documented above (see numbers 1, 5, and 9).
CONCLUSION Globalization and the questioning of traditional values and modernization have made indigenous peoples visible (Guibernau 1999). Their experience as internal colonies is gaining attention in international non-government organizations and in international governing organizations. Policies are being enacted to protect indigenous peoples and their cultures. Organizations such as UNESCO are working to revitalize and maintain cultures. The United Nations is working to expand indigenous political rights, especially in regards to political sovereignty.
