The Real Hawaiian Experience

Growing up in Hawaii, I have many unique experiences that other American teenagers do not have. My family lived in Hawaii for many generations, but since my birth my mother has strongly encouraged me to understand and understand my legacy. Since my mother is from Molokai Island, she is experiencing various Hawaiian experiences. Also, as my grandmother lived, the time I spent on Molokai was about the same as I spent in Maui. For me, real Hawaii's experience is an island like Molokai. It is because there are more things that I saw like Maui is not found.

Of course, the real language of the island is Hawaiian which resembles Tahitian and other Polynesian dialects. Unfortunately, like the Hawaiian culture, the people of Hawaii are becoming lost languages. Since Captain Cook came, the people of Hawaii have married other races, and it is difficult to find Hawaii people of pure blood species until now. Except for privately owned Ni'ihau Island at the northwest end of the chain of Hawaii, the game is diluting and old ways including speaking and teaching are gone. Since purchasing the island by King Hawaii a century ago, Ni'ihau's 300 purest Hawaiian residents are quite isolated from the modern world. Ni'ihau is owned by families who are considered to be the authority of Hawaiian culture and they are trying to keep lifestyle that disappears soon on other islands. Tourists are rarely permitted, residents who have moved are no longer permitted to live there.

One of the most memorable aspects of visiting Maui is the opportunity to experience the rich Hawaiian culture and the history of the island. To some extent, you can not access the Hawaiian Islands through food, dance, music, plants, languages, legends, or arts and crafts - beautiful garlands made with shells and feathers. And the seed. Aboriginal culture in Hawaii is in the center of our island, making Hawaii completely unique to other destinations in the world.
