My family has been in Hawaii for 5 generations now. We are proud of our Puerto Rican roots!! And proud have contributed pasteles and gandule rice (arroz con gandules) to the Aloha state!

Qué rico !

I come from Puerto Rican immigrants 1900 one of the first waves. My family kept music and food alive. My grandfather, in his old age with dementia still played his Güiro and sang old Spanish songs. He spoke fluent Spanish in his dementia years, and when I asked a few friends from PR that said his Spanish pronunciation was 👌🏽 I guess it all came back to him from his parents and grandparents. It's not easy for a culture to survive, integrate and thrive amidst a whole new environment with multiple cultures. But Hawaii Puerto Ricans were a strong tenacious bunch that held on to to their roots. They went through a lot on the plantations but they persevered. Pretty much everyone in Hawaii knows Pasteles, arroz con gondules, ensalada de bacalao, tostones, guineos en escabeche. We love our salsa and merengue we kanikapila Hawaii style Puerto Rican music at gatherings. One day I hope to visit Puerto Rico. One thing, though, they did not come with the coqui. The coqui came only maybe 24 years ago. Hitched a ride on some plants from PR. The Coqui found us 😄

Mis respetos mi hermano de otra Madre ❤ 🇵🇷 puerto Rico para siempre.

Jajóm (thank you) brother! I had no idea of this and so much appreciate your educating on this. Bendiciones ❤✊🏾🙏🏽🇵🇷💚

La Diáspora como parte de nuestra Nacion consume (sobre todo en las Navidades) nuestra gastronomía navideña (de la forma que sea, se las arreglan). El título de “DIÁSPORA DE 5 ESTRELLAS EN GASTRONOMÍA” hay que otorgárselo a los hermanos boricuas de Hawaii ... En HAWAII viven un poco más de 50,000 personas que se identifican como PUERTORRIQUEÑOS. La inmensa mayoría son los descendientes de aquellos jíbaros que llegaron a esas islas hace más de 1 SIGLO. Es realmente admirable que después de tanto tiempo (exceptuando, desgraciadamente por el idioma), lograron preservar mucho de aquella cultura que habían traído sus abuelos y se las habían dejado a ellos como herencia. Después de mucho más de 100 años los Boricuas de Hawaii no solo consumen nuestra gastronomía, sino que la popularizaron mas allá de la comunidad puertorriqueña. HOY los PASTELES y el ARROZ CON GANDULES los comen TODOS los grupos étnicos que habitan Hawaii: chinos, japoneses, filipinos, portugueses, hawaianos, gringos, coreanos ... Resumiendo: estos distintos grupos étnicos han incorporado nuestra gastronomía a la suya. CHEQUEA ... En un libro de recetas hawaiianas en inglés incluyen: PASTELES is a favorite in Hawaii, Puerto Rican local style Pasteles. Enjoy! Pasteles son un manjar tradicional puertorriqueño que ha echado raices en Hawaii e incluso ha penetrado en restaurantes chinos, filipinos, hawaianos y otros. La comida puertorriqueña se conoce y SE COME …. el ARROZ CON GANDULES y LOS PASTELES son las ESTRELLAS en la gastronomía de Hawaii ....

A lot of those Puerto Rican families from Hawaii also settled in the Bay Area especially in the cities of San Francisco Oakland and Hayward CA.

I love this. This is how we all ended up ethnic and mixed

I’m a Hawaiian borinke my Grandfather was from ponce and my grandmother was from jayuya . La corazon de la isla my grandmother use to say . We never lost touch with our culture we just mixed with the Hawaiian people I know so many Filipino Puerto Ricans like Bruno Mars lol and and Hawaiian Puerto Ricans like me . Even though I grew up here I know how to speak Spanish and we still make pernil and arroz con gandules y avichuelas

The flag that has purple on it is the Ciales flag right in the middle of the island. The National Poet, Writer and fighter of Independence for PR Juan Antonio Corretjer was from Camino El Perico, Barrio Frontón, Ciales.

Good information👍🏼 and also see you have few PR towns flags including my home town Moca. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Mind blown. My PR dad will appreciate this history.

that was 1902 and you forgot to mention the hurricane that decimated the island just before this migration happened. Hurikán (the spirit of the big winds, aka the Hurricane) features prominently in Taino myth because it's the force of nature that governs many aspects of our lives and forces change, whether we like it or not.

We migrated early 1900’s after a Hurricane our King invited farmers in hopes to discourage America’s taste in us..we did not bring the Coqui frog to Hawaii they were not here until late 90’s and that was from a shipment from elsewhere. We fought along native Hawaiians against the over throw of our country, Borikens had to fight for their to vote in the 1960’s we were not acknowledged as American or having rights as one even tho we were already here for about 50 years or more prior to coming a state. On the way to California a lot of us were beaten starved on the train treated like absolute trash. And although we were not viewed as American Citizens we were drafted in the war. You’ll mostly find Portuguese/Puertoricans in Hawaii like myself which is hilarious because it’s almost the same geno.. If you’re boriken from Hawai’i don’t take a DNA test especially if your other side is suppose to be Portuguese.. you’re basically just almost all Latino 😂 it’s so confusing unless you know all of your families surnames! Even then! But thanks to this braddah I’ll get a Hawaiian tribal I always felt it was Tabu if not Native but hey if he can I can! I give Tutu Pele and other gods offerings all the time❤️

Unless u literally mixed with maori/ or kanaka maoli or others.

Thank you

Hawaii is still occupied. There was no treaty. U.S. signed a joint resolution, that was not a treaty. Under international law, what the U.S. did was an illegal act because Hawaii was already a sovereign nation. However, for Puerto their story is very different. Puerto Ricans did not secure independence like what The Hawaiian Kingdom did on Nov. 28 1893. So, apparently Puerto Rico was colonized whereas Hawaii continues to be illegally occupied by the U.S. for about 129 years.

Wow didn't know that 😳 interested

"To help the world when there was a sugar shortage". *facepalm* All my Hawaiian Puerto Rican relatives have type II diabetes.
