Every year since 7th grade, I do hula dances in the talent show, to show people my culture and passion. My dad is half Hawaiian and I grew up listening to a lot of island music. Not many people here in America know what hula dancing is and why it is important. Doing hula shows people that there is more than just Ballet and hip-pop. It really shows who I am and where I come from. It makes me proud to show people I'm more than just the 3/4 Caucasian they see but the 1/4 Hawaiian they could get to know.

This song makes me realize how lucky all polynesians are to have grown up on the islands that teaches alot about life and how to make it. Im from Am Samoa and i moved here on the big island 18 years ago and it feels like i never left home. Compared to the mainland where kids run the household, technology becomes their education and disciplining your child is against the law, Disrespect is never corrected and manners are not taught.

This is the kind of music that we should remember and expose our children to. Hip hop, rap, r&b all have a place. But this here is our culture. We need to pass it on to our children and our future. If not, Hawaii will become less of what we believe it is and more of the that government wants. I';m not a "Hawaii Sovereignty" sign waver or anything. I just feel that this song means to us locals what we want to pass on.
