As you know Hawaii wasn't the only land whose culture was overun by Europeans. Nothing could stop what is to some called "Manifest Destiny". I have read over 30 books on the plight of Native American Indians. It is a shame what happened to them. But you can help in a lot of different ways by donating your time and money to different charities, although some would say this only perpetuates their current conditions. I helped fight one of the causes by writing to my represntative in Congress. Many native American Indian tribes currently are fighting to get land back after the treaties they signed were broken by "the white man". Many of them are regaining lost land. I say more power to them. One of the saddest things to see (to me) is to see a culture lost forever. Whatever native culture that may be.
