Fulfilling a will

Respect! Why can't everyone who comes to Hawai'i respect our tradition and culture? Is it so hard? So it doesn't suit your needs. Remember, you chose to eome here. We did not ask you to eome here. God had placed people in all the different parts of the world. He placed Hawaiians in Hawai'i, but we had welcomed all races so mueh that we married into their nationality. So, today we are the only ones that have merged with all races. It is Princess Pauahi's will that is trying to educate Hawaiian children to learn about today's world and also to keep our culture and the aloha that everyone enjoys alive. There is no such thing as discrimination, when her will is trying to keep a culture and its people alive. You destroy her legacy, you destroy our culture, you take our lands, you take our ancestors, you take our identity, you destroy "aloha" and you destroy the Hawaiian people. What more do you want?
