Default Are native Hawaiians getting increasing unfriendly to tourists?

This came up in a discussion online about Jamaica where someone said
Jamaicans
are much more friendly toward tourists in comparison to the native
Hawaiians.

Having never been to either place I can't make any judgment but what
are
your experiences?

Native hawaiians are very friendly people, even if they have been occupied
by a foreign country.

Some are. those who post "Kapu" by their houses probably aren't. Been
in the Waipio Valley or driven in Molokai or on Lanai?

We've driven in some places in Hawaii where there was probably some
animosity. We also went on a snorkeling cruise on a small boat. There
was a woman who was their with her daughter who lived with the
ex-husband on the mainland. The mother didn't want the daughter coming
to live with her until she was in college because of the
discrimination and animosity in the school she would have attended. I
have the feeling that the girl had been there and went back to the
mainland.

We took a tour of the Iolani Palace and the guide (male) cam close to
crying when he talked about Kind David and Queen Liliuokalani.

I'm certainly no expert but we spent about 1 1/2 months in different
visits there and have driven around a lot and have visited 6 islands.

That doesn't mean we felt afraid or even concerned beyond what the
normal precautions should be. But then we aren't afraid to walk
around, or drive in, cities including Baltimore where we live in the
suburbs.

I'd be curious to know how many Americans are familiar with the history
of Hawaii and its annexation by the United States.

If they do know the history of Hawaii, they would understand that indeed
native Hawaiians today are significantly more unfriendly to visitors than
native Hawaiians historically were, particularly in Maui.

Probably a small percentage.
