    It hurts my soul that the British saw Hawaiians and thought "let's colonize them and steal their land!" Instead of working in partnership with a Hufflepuff like Nation they ruined it. If I was sailing the "New To ME World" and met the Hawaiians, it'd be nice to chill and say "ok, seeya same time next year, bye."
    I wouldn't COLONIZER them. The audacity.
    Glad their traditions survived, as the UK did a number on them,their resources and their islands.

Mad kudos to all these folks who dance so beautifully. I'm almost certain many of them are dancing with a bit of pain in their knees. But they sure don't let it stop them.
