Colonization affects our Kahiau topic today because colonization affects who we are as Hawaiians. We were colonized in the past when captain cook arrived in Hawaii and changed Hawaiians forever. We were changed socially, emotionally, spiritually, culturally, physically, and more. Since then our Hawaiian ancestry has started to take a fall, and we dont truly understand who we are as Hawaiians. It hurts our modern efforts to meet these challenges because to help the world, we have to understand ourselves. An example of this is how there is no way many Hawaiians can recite their genealogy like they did before. History can always either be remembered, changed, or forgotten. Many times in war, its history is determined by the winner who gains power. Since we are part of the United States we are told and given history on the battles and influenced through diplomacy and military forces. Language, cultural history, and language in the community all were influenced by the states. An example is the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani, where our native language was banned and we were forced to speak English. For us to understand what problems we have in Hawaii we need to be able to understand our culture and need to find a solution to these problems in Hawaii. The U.S has deterred us from being able to find solutions to problems in Hawaii because of the imperialism that Hawaii has faced. APA Citations
