Colonization can be both good and bad for my Kahiau project topic of poverty. On the side of the colonizers, this can be good, because we know that the colonizers will take care of each other, and if someone isn't getting enough food, then they will share with each other. In that situation there is almost no way of having poverty unless the whole unit is in poverty. On the other side of things, it can be very easy for the natives to be in poverty because their land is being taken and all their work in finding that area and farming it will have gone to waste as the colonizers take that land and push the natives aside. The natives will have to find some new land and new crops to farm but in-between that time, they will all be stuck in poverty without food or shelter. Famous colonial people. (n.d.). Retrieved May 05, 2021, from https://www.landofthebrave.info/famous-people-in-american-history.htm Imperialism single handedly put a halt to the culture of Hawai'i starting from when the queen was overthrown. The United State's military that was send to Hawai'i overthrew the queen and with that, stoped a lot of cultural practices such as the simple act of speaking Hawaiian. In schools, kids couldn't speak Hawaiian, and if they did, they were beat by their teachers. So the imperialism from the U.S. was a big factor as to why we don't have as many native speakers as we did back maybe 200 years ago. But without these events, some other events wouldn't have happened today such as the Mālama Honua voyage, because the reason why voyaging was almost lost was because of our culture getting silenced. But one man named Nainoa Thompson learned from the last knowledgable native celestial navigator and brought back the skill and taught lots of people, then did a voyage around the entire Earth to spread a message to take care of the Earth. So even though imperialism caused a lot of problems, there were also good things that came out of it. Overthrow of the HAWAIIAN Kingdom. (2021, May 03).
