It sure didn't talk about how Queen Lili'uokalani was plotting to cancel the constitution and create a new one to increase the power of her monarchy. That was unlawful and against the constitution of the time. This video didn't talk about how the Kingdom of Hawaii consisted of many different people and cultures. And it definitely didn't talk about the power struggle between Native Hawaiian elitists, royalists, immigrants, republicanists, etc. It didn't talk about the corruption of Kalākaua or Hawaii's numerous political, economic and other problems. In short, this video was propaganda, loaded with misrepresentation and omissions from history. Mostly lies and distortions.

No, he needed great help from westerners (British and Americans). Did the United States or Great Britain declare or claim Hawai'i as a colony? No. Did kanaka, westerners and asians build the country together? Yes, every step of the way. Were the westerners and asians denizens, citizens and royal subjects of Hawai'i? Yes. Did the westerners and asians live, work, pay taxes and support the Hawaiian Kingdom? Yes, the haole had a long history with Hawai'i from 1778 through 1893. Was the Hawaiian Kingdom a multiethnic, multicultural and multinational society? Yes. Did the Hawaiian Kingdom request protectorate status or annexation from other countries? Yes. King Kamehameha wanted to make Hawai'i a British protectorate (1800s). King Kamehameha III wanted to make Hawai'i a U.S. protectorate (1851) and later requested annexation by the U.S. (1854). King Kalākaua wanted to become a Japanese protectorate (1881). Did the United States 'steal' Hawai'i? No, the U.S. declined an annexation request in 1851 and 1893. The Republic of Hawaii requested annexation in 1898 (five years after the monarchy's overthrow) and the U.S. accepted. If the U.S. were greedy, landgrabbing colonialists, then why didn't they grab Hawai'i sooner? They weren't. Did the United States overthrow the Monarchy? No, the Morgan Report exonerated the U.S. soldiers and agents of any involvement in the Revolution of 1893. I suggest you look at the Committee of Safety and the Honolulu Rifles. There were 1,100 - 1,600 angry hawaiians who overthrew Queen Lili'uokalani after she attempted an illegal and unconstitutional power grab. Some Hawaiians wanted to maintain the monarchy, some wanted a republic and some wanted annexation. Was Hawai'i an American colony? No, it was a country that got annexed by the U.S. after the Revolution of 1893 led to the creation of a provisional government and later the Republic of Hawaii. The rebels had control of the government and requested annexation. Did some colonists object to secession from the British Empire? Yes. Did some Texans object to annexation? Yes. Did some Californians object annexation? Yes. Did some kanaka object to Kamehameha's conquest of Hawai'i? Yes. Does it matter? No, the government decides what happens with the territory. There's no requirement for public referendum or plebiscite. Did Native Hawaiians wanted Statehood? Yes, Native Hawaiian activists lobbied hard for Statehood. In 1919, Prince Kūhio even wrote the first Statehood Bill. Did 93% of Hawaiian voters choose statehood? Yes. Did the hawaiians receive all the same rights as Americans? Yes. The Organic Act of 1900 gave Hawaiians U.S. citizenship and the Statehood Act of 1959 gave them representation in Congress and the right to vote in federal elections. See, the U.S. didn't 'steal' Hawai'i.😉

@Johnny Harris, as a Native Hawaiian, mahalo for making this video. Because the Hawaiian Language (we know it as Olelo) was outlawed in schools, and due to increasing pressures to become westernized and so called "normal," we lost alot of the cultural nuances that connects us to the ancient version of our native language. The most authentic Hawaiian you will hear is that spoken by a kupuna (elder) who is fluent (which is rare), or by someone born and raised on Niihau (also rare). It's similar Tahitian and Samoan. The language taught in Hawaiian language immersive schools is much different, and is not the same as the ancient tongue which has been an unfortunate result of the language-shaming in the early 1900s. Because Hawaiians did not write, we only passed on knowledge by story telling and by doing, we lost alot of our culture. I'm nearly 40 and have only just started learning things that my ancestors did, which is sad when you think about it. We've had to struggle to piece back together incomplete pieces of our culture so that we can revitalize our people, but it's a process and arguably we lost much of our ancient knowledge. It's only through those stubborn ones like those who kept practicing the old ways like Hula or crafts, or traditional fishing who keep the cultural flame alive for us try and move the ball forward one yard at a time (painstakingly). How shame right? We have to reinvent our culture in a way and connect the dots. With all of that said, besides the over-tourism, the biggest slap in our face these days is when people of non-native blood name their children Hawaiian names: those are our names and they cannot begin to understand the vast meanings which each name (long or short) has. We consider it disrespectful and most names have multiple meanings, including negative ones.

Kalani Volkoff What I am commenting about was the fact that Clinton made an apology, acknowledging the fact that what the US did was horrible, but instead of actually doing something about it, he continues to allow, for example, futher damaging sacred sites. Meaning that the apology wasnt at all an apology, just using the american past for his own benefit.

As someone who has lived in Hawai'i their whole life, I can tell you that the culture is one of the most amazing parts of living here. If you have ever been to Hawai'i (and I mean really been, like full Johnny style, immersing yourself in the culture and not just staying at a resort) then you know how loving and kind and incredible the people here are. My family used to run a Bed and Breakfast before the recent lava flow took out our home, and this was by far the most common reason people stated for wanting to return someday. With the recent protests on the Mauna, and ongoing struggle to keep sacred lands safe on Kaho'olawe, Pōhakuloa, and many many more places, it has created a way for the entire world to see how hurt and outraged Native Hawaiians are by everything the US has done to them. While they are some of the most resilient people I have ever known, it is hard. It is really really hard to see how the government doesn't care much about giving the people what they want. In a way, it is similar to what is happening in the BLM protests right now, as higher ups are giving people supplemental things, but not really what they want. A great example is the state that Kaho'olawe was left in when it was returned to the Hawaiian people. The island was supposed to be completely cleared of ordnance left by the US Navy. They were given 10 years, and get this, 400 million dollars. They only cleared 75% of the island, and many parts are still left highly dangerous to this day. Not to mention, the water table was literally broken. There is no fresh water on Kaho'olawe because the Navy put enough TNT on it to simulate an atomic bomb. That's not a joke, that was actually their intention. So after some ranting, I hope you learned something. The Hawaiian people are over being stomped on by the US. Period. P.S. this was written by a 15 year old so don't say "but I'm too young to worry about things like this" because you aren't!! Learn about the world and the place that you live!

Maybe it's just me, but I can't say the culture in hawaii is perfect or even all that loving, depending on who you are. There is blatant racism that is unspoken in Hawaii (can you guess?).

If Hawaii doesnt want to be a state (which I doubt) that means all US assests, infrastructure, military presence, all funding and people who want to stay american all leave. Im not saying any form of imperialism was good. It wasnt, but this is a different world 200 years ago. This kind of thing wasnt new.

How have they benefitted? Being priced out of their own homeland. Given some land in an unlivable space that the mainland government keeps finding excuses to not actually give them. Making the native Hawaiians dance for tourists like a circus bear when we get off cruise ships and airplanes. It's humiliation. Oppression. Taking away their language and oral history. Bringing tourism that is unsustainable and pollution you and I will never understand the scope of due to the military occupation of every island. Dumping their waste stealing their water. Causing irreparable harm to the beauty of the Hawaiian islands. And you suggest when they leave, if they leave, that they take everything, including the infrastructure with them. Are you sick? Although I'm not sure they wouldn't want everything gone. I would. I would want my pristine paradise back the way nature intended. But we know the reality right?

But the biggest part that's BS is anyone saying that Irish people are "over it." My Irish grandfather hated the British government until he died. Even my mom - I told her about something I learned in class the other day about a judge from 100 years ago who was against Irish independence and I still have to learn about him today and my mom went on a rant immediately and said "don't get me started." Then I said "oh I thought you were over it?" My mom only ever brings up being "over" things with Ireland as soon as I try to talk about colonialism in other places - she's not actually over it, it's just she doesn't have to deal with it anymore because she doesn't live there and Ireland has independence because people like her grandfather fought for it. She just doesn't want to acknowledge that she's like the British now colonizing other people. So don't believe anyone who try and use Irish history to shut down discussions of colonialism. And especially if anyone thinks Ireland is "over it," they should learn a little bit more about Northern Ireland including decades of bombs that went off there....

Excellent video, it’s important to remember how Hawaii became a state. One thing I would add is that the culture was under attack as soon as the missionaries arrived. Hula was banned by Hawaiian monarchs long before the kingdom was overthrown. One of my favourite quotes, “hula is the language of the heart, and therefore the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people.” Also would add there is literally a mele which talks about how the Hawaiian people would rather eat rocks than give up their sovereignty, it’s called Kaulana Nā Pua.

@@Tyso808 The U.S./Republic of Hawaii/Provisional Government didn't ban the Hawaiian language. The Hawaiian Kingdom enacted an education policy that highly favored English before the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893. King Kamehameha IV stated in His Majesty's Speech at the Opening of the Legislature (1855): "To foster education and widen every channel that leads to knowledge, is one of our most imperative duties... It is of the highest importance, in my opinion, that education in the English language should become more general, for it is my firm conviction that unless my subjects become educated in this tongue, their hope of intellectual progress, and of meeting the foreigners on terms of equality, is a vain one." King Kamehameha IV stated in His Majesty's Speech at the Opening of the Legislature (1856) that he was satisfied with the Board of Education's progress on English instruction "It is particularly gratifying to know that instruction in the English language is prosecuted with so much success among my native subjects. I recommend you to make as liberal a provision for the support of this class of schools as the state of my Treasury will admit." And this *Hawaiian Kingdom Policy* was very successful in adopting the English language as the main language of education and instruction. 1881: 66% English, 33% Hawaiian 1887: 84% English,16% Hawaiian 1892: 95% English, 5% Hawaiian 1896: 97% English, 3% Hawaiian The U.S. didn't ban hula. Hula was banned by Queen Ka'ahumanu in 1830 (because nudity was frowned upon by Christians), but most people didn't listen. Hula was still practiced privately and even publicly practiced, but with clothes. It was a loose 'ban'. In 1874, King Kalākau welcomed hula officially back into the palace. Land was always a problem. Before the Hawaiian Kingdom existed, the ali'i classes owned and controlled all the land. The maka'āinana were just feudal serfs. During the Hawaiian Kingdom, the ali'i and wealthy people still owned most of the land. The Great Māhele was a land policy failure. Now, the same problems exist. The U.S. didn't create a land problem... BUT they can definitely make things better.

Great program

Yes, it is 100% true that Hawai'i was "stolen" by the USA, the same way that Okinawa was "stolen" by Japan, and just like Tibet was "stolen" by China. And every native Hawai'ian I've ever spoken to supports sovereignty. But if it ever came up for a real vote, I think some people would back down due to the increase in poverty that would hit the islands. According to Hawai'i Business magazine, the median family income for people are at least part native Hawai'ian is $84,699 If we compare that to the Per Capita GDP for people in the following countries of Oceania, the difference in shocking: Tuvalu - $5,632 Tonga - $4,701 Papua New Guinea - $3,020 So many people in the UK who wanted to take their sovereignty back with Brexit and now regretting it. In the end, it's all about affording food and clothes for our kids.

No, Hawai'i wasn't stolen. Queen Lili'uokalani prorogated the legislature, abrogated the existing constitution, unilaterally tried to create her own constitution, wanted to strengthen her autocratic power and use her royal guard to defend her revolution. She even wrote about it in her autobiography, Hawaii's Story. She attempted an illegal and unconstitutional power grab that led to her overthrow. When her royal subjects found out about her secret plot, they were NOT happy, to say the least.

It reminds me a lot of New Zealand’s housing situation. I have to remind myself I’m technically in Hawaii when I walk through the new Whole Foods there.

THANK YOU! It was they who started the take over of powers across the world. England is the father of the United States, so they have no moral leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing America for imperialism that they invented. I am not saying that I approve. Hawaii was a sovereign, monarchical nation that was unjustifiable usurped by America. But if there are any British people in this comment section who are trying to use this horrible incidence of imperialism as another example to hate America, I think perhaps they better shut their lips. They don't get to have this one. Maybe go and ask China and India how they feel about the British before they start pointing fingers at us.

'Anglos caused most of the world's problems' (David Cameron, British Prime Minister, 2010-2016). Anglo clans practiced centuries-long Slavery; from Caribbean to North & South America, by wiping out indigenous Native people originally living there, by replacing them with millions of slaves brought from Africa, by enslaving them and living off on their blood and sweat. Isn't it shocking to learn that Anglo invaded nine out of ten nations, all but 22 nations in the whole wide world ? Moreover, Anglo practiced centuries-long Colonialism in over 50 nations, by living off on their blood and sweat, as well as on those bountiful lands for natural mineral resources, which were essentials requirement for industrial revolution. Anglo still Colonized many parts of the world, including two vast bountiful Continents; North America and Australia Continents. Among the five main Anglo nations; Britain, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, all but Britain is looted from others.

@being gay is not normal Human sacrifice occurred in Hawaii. (I'm not so sure about the young girls being thrown into the volcanoes; but human sacrifice of that type would have been rare since the natives did not go up to the crater when it was errupting.) "Human sacrifices were performed in Hawaii as late as the 19th century. It may have served as a way for elite members of the island to help maintain their control over the population. Europeans who visited the island recorded the practice, with one famous painting showing a person being clubbed to death while lying on a rock.

@sunnysied713

I agree, there was a great deal of historical information that was intentionally omitted and withheld to push a slanted, personal narrative. It's insane. The revolution of January 17, 1893 was caused by Queen Liliuokalani's attempt to prorogate the legislature, unilaterally create a new constitution (without the constitutional power to do so), promulgate this new constitution with a sudden declaration (surprise!) and use the military to suppress any opposition to her power grab. On January 14, she was ready to sign and proclaim the new laws. She wrote to Blount that the "members of the diplomatic corps had been invited; also the members of the supreme bench and members of the legislature, besides a committee of the Hui Kalaiaina." She also told Blount that she instructed her guards and military to be ready to suppress any challenge (riots, rebellion, etc) from her opposition: "They assured me they would be ready, and I gave strict injunctions of secrecy." The Queen had been secretly plotting a revolution to overthrow the government and reestablish an absolute monarchy. Then everyone found about her 'secret' plan. Everything went downhill fast for her. People weren't going to curtsy, sit idly and let her smile and wave as she led a revolution. Her opposition mobilized, organized and overthrew her with their own revolution. And the rest is history. Like I said, Queen Lili instigated her own overthrow, despite the advice of her own cabinet and supporters. She was an inexperienced, naive leader who thought she could make sweeping (illegal) changes via royal proclamation. Governor Cleghorn was a royalist, ally and _brother-in-law_ of Queen Liliuokalani. He was angry and disappointed by her plot to overthrow the government and failure to listen to counsel. On January 28, 1893, he wrote "I have never given the Queen anything but good advice. If she had followed my advice, she would have been firm on the throne, and Hawaiian Independence safe, but she has turned out a very stubborn woman and was not satisfied to Reign but wished to Rule." Queen Lili kicked a hornets nest and was stung by her own arrogance. She cost the country its independence. American Minister Stevens was following the instructions of his predecessor, Minister Miller, who received instructions from the Secretary of State of the first _President Cleveland_ Administration. Cleveland was president during the Bayonet Constitution of 1887. Secretary of State Thomas F. Bayard sent written instructions to then American Minister George W. Merrill that if another revolution happens in Hawaii, then they must protect American commerce, lives and property. Bayard clearly stated that, "the assistance of the officers of our Government vessels, if found necessary, will therefore be promptly afforded to promote the reign of law and respect for orderly government in Hawaii."After the revolution that lead to the Bayonet Constitution, _British_ Minister Wodehouse requested that the Americans keep a warship docked in Hawaiian port in case another revolution happened. In July 1889, there was a rebellion and Merrill ordered the deployment of marines and sailors to protect Americans. John L. Stevens (had replaced Merrill) and followed those official instructions during the overthrow of 1893. The American soldiers were peacekeepers who didn't participate in any government building raids, patrol the streets, fire any shots or provide any material support to the insurgents. Often, the Americans would land, come ashore and practice military drills (prior to the overthrow). During the 1893 revolution, the soldiers marched past Iolani Palace, lowered their flags to show neutrality and saluted the Queen. These are hardly aggressive actions. The Americans then remained in their bunkers and did absolutely nothing because no violence broke out against American interests. There was no invasion or military occupation. The monarchy was overthrown by a homegrown coup of 1,100-1,600 insurgents (who were citizens and royal subjects), Queen Liliuokalani surrendered and abdicated her power WITHOUT fighting to defend her country from internal, domestic threats, which was her constitutional duty as a monarch.

The wildfires in Maui brought me here August 2023 its truly disturbing whats going on in Hawaii.

I visited Hawaii (specifically Maui) last July. I was completely unaware of the history at the time, but seeing American building styles carving the land felt almost disgusting. The natives can't even afford to stay in their own homes, and thus you can often find them on the streets. I loved Hawaii, but damn, the US really did screw them over and if you aren't completely ignorant, you can see it down every street. Even if American rule is no longer a thing in the future, the damage we have done is irreversible.
