Political Factoid

"Many Hawaiians grew up
not knowing about Hawaiian
concepts of mahu or the
stones because the American
businessmen who overthrew
the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893
banned Hawaiian language
instruction in schools and
discouraged speaking it in
homes.  Generations of
Hawaiians lost connections
to cultural traditions."
