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? |

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. T. |

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. http://www.hawaiihistory.org/index.c...age&PageID=287 http://www.stayfinder.com/travelguid...ii_history.asp http://www.whalersrealty.com/blog/Di...he_Whaling_Era |
