Kamehameha Schools has a preference-based policy. Anyone can apply, with or without Hawaiian ancestry. However, preference is given to those of Hawaiian ancestry since Kamehameha Schools stands as a private educational institution with a remedial policy meant to remedy past wrongs that started centuries ago after Western contact. As it stands, Hawaiians have the highest rates of poverty and health problems, and the lowest educational standing. This school is also meant to remedy that problem too
LEAVE KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS ALONE!!!!! THE UNITED STATES HAD TAKEN AWAY ENOUGH FROM HAWAII. OUR KINGS, QUEENS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE & LANDS. AND NOW EDUCATION FOR THE KANAKA MAOLI! PURE SELFISHNESS!

@scottca075 You better go and brush up on your history. Maybe, you should go further back in history and not stop at 200 years. The islands had been populated with Polynesians and had no British, Russian, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino living there.
@koapaka2010 Guess you didn't read what I wrote. 1,700 years ago NO ONE lived there. The Polynesians came by boat, the British and Russians came by boat. The Polynesians had no special claim to the land, the people who came later had just as much a right to be there.
The Polynesian people arrived in canoes and not boats. The Hawaiians are native to the land, (being the place or environment in which a person was born or a thing came into being) and deserve the rights they fight for today.
It is obvious that you are the ignorant person here. Please conduct a thorough research before opening the hole in your face and making comments without actually knowing the circumstances.
@koapaka2010 Hey, I was born in Hawaii, so I am a native Hawaiian. We all know how the islands were formed and when and when the first people got there. Maybe you need to spend more time in history and geology classes and less time at meaningless activities.
The double hulled catamarans that sailed all over Polynesia were just as much boats as were the Viking Knarr and in some cases bigger.
@scottca075 Just because you are born in Hawaii does not mean you are Hawaiian. Unless a family member has been registered as a Hawaiian before 1893, you are not native hawaiian, no matter how much you say you are. All nations of the world and their people are not truly originally from there since, they all were once untouched by humans. Same for Hawaii. They established a society there first just like any other society of the world.
"what would a non-Hawaiian get out of going to this school"?
simple; access to education in a school that has the largest endowment in America. The only schools that come above it in terms of endowment are harvard, yale, stanford, MIT and princeton.. all of which have enrollment which is significantly higher.
a big endowment promises high-quality resources , well -qualified teachers and a superior learning environment.
any child, hawaiian or non-hawaiian, would benefit from that.
this video is shame. talkin about kamehameha schools being a hawaiian sku. thats sad. i go to that sku and i see more non-hawaiians den anything. they are not even locals let alone hawaiians. pepo getting fooled and lied to about this sku bein hawaiian. dumb dis vid. bunch of clowns
@96792qwerty even if u go there how do we not know that ur making up stuff like u being hawaiian?? people who can prove that they ARE hawaiian should be able to go just because they arent local.
@KSW808 can tell a hawaiian from a non-hawaiian. get real. and they aint local, hawaiian, or anything with any of that. yah and people who are hawaiian should have an opportunity to go to that sku. aint too many hawaiians getting let in tho. and i live on homestead so chill. come down waianae if you like see some hawaiians. other den that. you should chill about kamehameha schools bein hawaiian
amazing video. it touches me, and opens my eyes to the sadening problem of the loss of the hawaiian people. Kamehameha schools should be strictly for Hawaiians. i wish i had Hawaiian blood so i could go to kamehameha schools, and participate in the song contest...but since i dont have Hawaiian blood,i wont be suing Kamehameha schools just to get in...
All of this should never have gotton as far as it did! I am Hawaiian tryed to attend the school and was placed on the wait list 3 times. My sister was the only one out of 7 of us children in my ohana who made it into the school! HAWAIIANS were to attend first..If there were no hawaiian children who wanted to attend then they were to allow the non-hawaiians to apply! Everything was taken from our people and what little we have is still being ripped from our hands! Hanai or not it was HEWA!
The main point here, slim. That you've managed to deflect and pervert so VERY well. Is that this child ISNT being excluded from learning about the hawaiian culture. Hes being excluded from an institution that was established to nurture the native kanaka maoli children of the kingdom. so that they too can be given a leg up!
What YOUR proposing is the same as a white kid from texas should be able to walk on to an indian res and claim that he has a right to goto school there!
Maryknoll, West Pac, & Punahou. Where the President went to school. ALL 3 great private schools, some of the best in the WORLD! And this kids family wants to choose Kamehameha? What was the purpose of it? Why Kam schools? If He was "adopted by a hawaiian family" Which BTW, HIS MOTHER was adopted by a Kanaka Maoli family. NOT her son. Kam schools are for the KANAKA MAOLI, and NO HAOLE gets to tell us otherwise!
And the fact of the matter is, this issue will eventually be forgotten, other kids will likely follow his path, and your people will come to embrace them, just as "white kids" had to do during desegregation with the people of "color" entering their white-only schools.
Resistance will remain strong at first, then it will eventually fade, as people began to realize how foolish they are, and just stop caring about it altogether.
Your words are nothing more than vapid opinion and spun information. Truly without an INCH of ground to stand on. You obviously seem to think yourself a sage when in reality your nothing more than a fool shouting at a brick wall and thinking that its someone else's voice.
Kanaka Maoli will NEVER be FORCED to accept anything or anyone that someone that lacks the respect that it takes to learn about our proud warrior heritage.
Deflect all you want, the ONLY racist here, is you and all like you
Nope, I have no problem with people of any color of any sort, the only person whose making a deal about skin color, is you, and has only been you.
And Again, YOU HAVE BEEN FORCED, in case you forgot Mohica-Cummings DID go to Kame, he DID attend.
And Hell, Roy Benham, former president of Kame's Alumni association, said prior to the mid-1960s, non-Hawaiian children of faculty members attended the school.
So you lost this fight OVER 40 YEARS ago. Dem' the breaks.
The native Americans aren't the Hawaiians so forget about them will u? The Hawaiian culture chooses to have the pride to keep our culture for those with Hawaiian ancestry. meaning RELATED TO THOSE OF OUR LANDS WHO CAME BEFORE US..not to people who CAME HERE by boat years ago. The school strictly wants those WITH HAWAIIAN ANSCESTORS to be eligible for enrollment..get that straight will you??????
Historically, your perspective is wrong, there have been numerous cases of people of other races going to that school, for hem to suddenly make a case about this kid is ludicrous, and shames the Hawaiians.
Your culture is dying, it's no secret, and if so, is this how you want to be remembered? Squabbling in legal battles over kids just trying to get ahead in life?
The Native Americans matter, because many of them have come to this same crossroad, and chose differently.
A white kid, raised by a hawaiian family, he isn't Hawaiian by blodd, but he IS in culture, in his upbringing.
He had every right to got this school, and he was thrown away. That is wrong, as AlpAcino would say "If I was the man iw as five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place!".

Also, if the Hawaiian Kingdom still existed, it would be no different than the Solomon Islands or Tonga. It would be extremely poor, people would be infamished, schools would be horrible, the monarchies would be corrupt, and barely any of the children would have a future.
u knoe wat fuk u duke7bballshead. becuz jus incase u didnt knoe dumbshit, princess bernice pauahi made kamehameha schools to provide education to native hawaiians. also i am hawaiian and i go to kamehameha schoolz. were not raceist were jus teaching our culture before it dies out. ur the fuckin raciest becuz seemz like u dont like hawaiians. u dont know wat itz like to watch ur race to die so greatly. u shouldnt be talking becuz ur not hawaiian.
also, u knoe nothing about hawaii. u shouldnt talk becuz u dont know any facts about hawaii and kamehameha schools. ur just jealous becuz that 92.7% of our students graduate from college. i dont think ur school could accomplish dat in a million years. u better watch ur mouth becuz hawaiians can kick ur fuckin ass anyday, anywhere, anytime. so dont say shit unless u can back it up. IMUA KAMEHAMEHA!!! GO SUCK ON UR MOMS COCK BITCH!
oh and also u son of a bitch, dont talk about our kings like that. becuz none of them could accomplish a feat like wat king kamehameha did. our schools wouldnt be horrible becuz there would be kamehameha schools retard. itz people like u whu make us hawaiians so mad u americans. im proud to be hawaiian and i wouldnt be anything else. hawaiians r way better then u bitches.
Guess WHAT dude, The kingdom under amercian rule IS "extremely poor" the public schools there are horrible(see farington) and the officials there rule with a COMPLETE lack of sense of duty to the people! Besides, living under a sub par monarch would be better than to live under the thumb of the" American way" of life. EA!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is the most biased video I have ever seen. First of all, Americans are treating Hawaiians faaarrrrr better than their king. If you are above the king elevation wise, you get your head cut off, not to mention that you have no rights. I also love how the girl at the end says that "Americans aren't giving them their land or FOOD, yet she is fat as hell. Kamehameha schools is racist, and they teach culture way too much over real education that gets you far in life. Pathetic...
Also, Hawaii was its own country (100% native Hawaiians) before Americans started colonizing it and finally threw over their government in the late 1890s. Now they're only 23.39% of the total population of Hawaii and that number is STILL decreasing. It's called genocide, intentional or not. Like how many native American tribes are dying out. You dont see white/black/non-native folks try to get into their schools. Why must you insist so for Kamehameha schools?
Were not killing the Hawaiians, unlike how the Hawaiians themselves enslaved and killed off much of the original natives of the Islands.
People don't go into native American school, because hardly any of them LIVE in the same area where those schools are, and none of them are prestiges multibillion dollar acedemies UNLIKE the Kamehameha schools.
I'm an Alaskan, and I see culture is how you are raised, not your race, and the fact you tried to keep out the adopted son of a Hawaiin family is
Soooooo. If the Kanaka Maoli and Kanaka Hawai'i aren't the original inhabitants? Then who is? Kamehameha the great united the islands by war. true! Though Kingdoms are RARELY conceived through peaceful means. You talk about Culture, thats all we Hawai'ians have. is our culture, and now people want to take THAT away from us too and say we have no right to it exclusively.
@ Alaskaslim, I see. Your the type of person that sees affirmative action as "reverse discrimination". I already know that your a member of the greater majority of peoples that cries fowl at the slightest sign of becoming anything less. Simply by that one little comment....no one BUT the Kanaka Maoli/ Kanaka Maoli have a "Right" to Kamehameha schools BUT us! For its not only our culture thats at stake. but our identity as a PEOPLE. Why Kam schools? why not somewhere else,eh?
You lost it when you denied someone the right to the culture he was raised in, and the oppertunities that school offers.
He was raised Hawaiian, he came from a Hawaiian family, it was only because he wasn't Hawaiian by BLOOD that he was rejected.
If your culture states such people need to be shunned like that, then it deserves to be destroyed and forgotten, there are Native American cultures on the mainland far more worthy of preservation than yours that already have been.
@Alaskaslim.....So by your reasoning. Any "...culture states such people need to be shunned like that, then it deserves to be destroyed and forgotten". So what culture do you claim to be from? I wonder, since you chose to bring up the topic of discrimination, What magical and utopic culture do you live in where people live free of prejudice?
I don't say I do, but any culture whom exists that encounter this issue and are not even willing to fix it when it is BLANTANTLY obvious to everyone, clearly have no shame.
My own brief exposure to the Hawaiian culture suggested one of togetherness, of "Aloha", tell me, where did that go? When the HELL, IN THE FACE OF YOUR OWN DAMN PRIDE, DID YOU LOSE SIGHT OF WHO YOU ARE?
There's a difference between having PRIDE in your culture, and being a BIGOT, and youve crossed that line.
@alaskaslim.. And further more! Your ad hominem arguement that "there are Native American cultures on the mainland far more worthy of preservation" is a BLATANT racist attack against the peoples of the kingdom.
ALL CULTURES DESERVE TO PRESERVATION! Though it is NOT up to ANY outsider to determine who we are obligated share our culture with. Read up on the history of The kingdom before you speak about something to which you are COMPLETELY ignorant on.
A culture willing to shun and opress those only because they don't have the same SKIN tone, does not deserve to exist.
THAT is racist, THAT is ignorant, Mohica-Cummings deserves to be there, if you think otherwise, then you are just as I described, and if you as a culture believe in that exclusion, then it deserves to DIE.
We have enough hypocrites in this world, we don't need a culture that turns them out in droves, claiming "togetherness" when it they mean only if your skin is like ours.
And INDEED we do have hypocrites in our ranks, and you sir are at the FOREFRONT! If your so adamant about your opinions that the Hawaiian culture should "die" then you just feel free to try and kill it. A word of caution though. You should probably just keep your malignant, convoluted, and TWISTED ideas to yourself, because Our queen told us to behave when they stole our kingdom. Well shes not around more and the Kingdom belongs to THE PEOPLE!
I am only adamant that the Hawaiian culture should DIE, so far as you are willing to say this bigotry is A PART of your culture, that you would EXCLUDE those whom are apart of your culture in the name of PRESERVING it, I promise you there ARE Native American cultures, dying as you claim to be, whom are not so picky.
Follow them, get rid of the bigotry, and there is no problem, freely except those whom wish learn of Hawaiian heritage, DO NOT place emphasis on skin color.
Again you are someone whom has probably NEVER been on the shitty end of the stick. WHAT RIGHT do YOU have to tell us as a subjugated and impoverished, whom have had our lands stolen, our culture brushed aside and even been told by haole that OUR skin is too dark?
WHAT FUCKING RIGHT HAVE YOU?!?!
Answer the question that I asked you before. WHAT CULTURE DO YOU CLAIM, that HAS NEVER EXCLUDED ANYONE FROM ITS CIRCLE BECAUSE OF THIS OR THAT?!
SO that's your excuse? You exclude, because you've been excluded?
Since when does two wrongs make a right? Not TODAY, not EVER.
He has a RIGHT to be there, and you have no right to deny it, luckily people with far more vision and foresight then you forced it to be so, and in this, your culture might be saved.
Your culture's death will NOT be averted by excluding others, that will only seal its fate. There are Native American cultures which chose that higher path already.
Your still not answering the question ASSHOLE! You can attack me and any other hawaiian all you want, ITS NOT GOING TO CHANGE OUR MINDS! HAOLE LIKE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT DISCRIMINATION! YOu still want to claim this and that about "Native American Cultures". SO what? What tribe are YOU FROM!? EH? Get off your high and mighty soap box of vapid ignorance and look at the facts!!!!
2. And like you, there are Native American Cultures in the same situation, and when people of other races come to embrace their culture, they don't split hairs, they dont reject them, they EMBRACE THEM in return.
3. This Kid and his family did have a reason in choosing Kame, because he IS Kanaka Maoli, and because the school offers advantages few in Hawaii offer, and he has a right to it by virtue of his upbringing.
@Alaskaslim HOW DARE U INSULT Hawaiians! i do not have Hawaiian blood, but that dosent mean i cant stand up for them. Kamehameha school was ment for, and SHOULD be strictly for those with HAWAIIAN BLOOD! END OF STORY!!!
Not end of story, they tried to bar a kid who was adopted by a Hawaiian family raised in their culture, bloodline or skin color should have nothing to do with it, that kid is Hawaiian, and there is no one who should say otherwise.
@Alaskaslim he was Hawaiian by HEART...not by BLOOD..and that's what matters..if kamehameha schools allowed people who were Hawaiian at heart, but not by blood, so many people would be eligible to attend the school, and enrollment would be overwhelmed. When princess Bernice P. Bishop founded kamehameha schools,she intended for it to be a school for ppl with Hawaiian ancestry..meaning with Hawaiian blood..no other exceptions....
They only consider the "HEART" people, after all other applicants by "BLOOD" have already been considered, there was a girl whom was admitted a few years before,so no, they are not "overwhelmed", the school HAS allowed people like him in before WITHOUT turning away "true" Hawaiians.
They had already admitted him, and only discovered after the fact their "mistake", so instead of just going along with it,they tried to act like HE screwed up, I see no reason why HE should be punished like that.
@Alaskaslim you just dont understand the situation because what the hell do you know about hawaiians and hawaiian culture??? your just a jealous haole(not to be racist) who would prob. be in favor of the ILLEGAL annexation of the hawaiian lands, and overthrow of our government...
I don't need to be a Haiiwaiian to understand what it means to be an OUTCAST, wich is what those schools tried to make of that kid, and it's wrong.
The Haiiwaiians themsevles makes claims their culture is one "togerthness" it seems to me to be one of exclusion if this claim is made on "cultural" grounds.
Your culture is dying, the numbers show it, Native American culture have already accepted people of all sorts to continue their traditions, I don't see what allows you to be so picky.
@Trinhy84 Sorry you are ignorant. Hawaii was not 100% "native" before the U.S. got there. The British were first (hence the Hawaii State Flag), then the Russians and the French. And of course there were waves of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino immigrants as well.
Everyone in the early days, including those you call Hawaiian, got there the same way, in boats. The Hawaiians were not native to the land, they just got there first, but that didn't give them any more rights than the other immigrants.
@scottca075 You are a dumb fuck!!! First you said "The British were first, then the Russians etc... then you added "Hawaiians were not native to the land, they just got there first" Gotta love STUPID PEOPLE! WHere you from Botswana, Africa...so far away you have no clue to the islands of Hawai'i nor the people or culture you dodo head stink person!
THIS is the reason why i'm so SO SO proud to be hawaiian and to have recently graduated from Kamehameha. this video really put me to tears because it shows that now more than ever the hawaiian people NEED to come together, whether we attended Kamehameha or not. we need to honor the greatest warrior of our people and the greatest princess who was so selfless and giving. i dont think words can explain how grateful i am to Pauahi and how much stronger my pride is in the Hawaiian people. i love it.
Remember, that back then people there as far as nationality is concerned were considered "Hawaiians", which is why the clause in her will mentioned further "aboriginal".
KS was not intended to perpetuate Hawaiian culture, but rather the Princess was concerned that Hawaiians were not on the same social level as the foreigners coming in and other prominent "White" people in the islands. Therefore she knew that education was key, and so she created, or intended to create the schools just for that, with a stipulation as you guys have quoted. (to be continued)
well dats kamehameha schools. we need to perpetuate our hawaiian culture!Imua e na po ki`i!!! ku i ka pono!!! He hawaii au!!! it was in princess pauahi`s will.
Schools like University of Hawaii, Claremont Graduate School, University of Southern California, University of California at Los Angeles and University of San Francisco for just four of many.
The "Kam School" system was, the last I knew, an excellent system with an excellent education base. I hope my grandchildren will be able to attend to learn their cultural heritage.
The school is like almost any other high school. It all depends on the student. Some students end up going to big time colleges and universities, others go into community colleges and trade schools. And a few decide to go straight into the work force.
wow, nokkoutking you really need to get your facts straight. not all student's who attend KAMEHAMEHA are wealthy. take for example, i live in nanakuli and i'm apart of a medium wealth family (: i'm not rich and i attend KAMEHAMEHA schools and i couldn't be any prouder. i know this battle ain't over but KE AKUA is watching over kamehameha schools and i know in the end kamehameha schools will win!
Who's this nokkoutking guy? He makes me chuckle. He evidently doesn't know very many people who have gone to the Kamehameha Schools. They may be a lot of other things, but they're not exactly wealthy elitists; I can say that much. Honestly, how many wealthy Hawaiians families do you know of?
Furthermore, Bernice Pauahi Bishop directed her trustees "to devote a portion of each year's income to the support and education of orphans and others in indigent circumstances." A portion, not all of it.
Kamehameha schools is run by a bunch of greedy and dishonest elitists. The will states that the money for the school is intended for the "poor and indignant children of Hawaii". Most of the kids at the school come from wealthy families who are either alumni given preferential treatment of wealthy contributers who buy their kids' way into the school!
How about reading Charles Reed Bishop's letter on the Princess's intent before you spew that ignorance? I mean, don't let the facts get in your way, nokkoutking
I go to Kamehameha and I am definately not rich, and I've had one person in my family go to Kamehameha, and when I applied, no one knew I was related to him until after I got in.
That's actually not true. Well the will part is. Congratulations, you have quoted something correctly. But most of the "kids" don't come from wealthy families at all. Most of the students make a hard time meeting the tuition cost, reduced as it is, and have to apply for financial aid. And you can't buy your way into the school. Even some of the upper faculty and staff can't get their own children into the school.
If that's the way it is at other schools, that's not how this one works.
Beautiful piece. Kamehameha class of '99 graduate who will be passing this on to my hula sisters. I have tried to explain the pains of the court battles, I think this will show them. Mahalo!
Awesome, although I don't believe that the condition of Hawaiians is caused by oppression or victimization... I would like to see land and recourses given back to the Hawaiians but I doubt that we as a people can produce a successful nation.
As a people who were exploited by the US, which now imposes whiteness on these indigenous people, Hawai'ians have every right to practice a positive congregation to resist the meaner elements of US cultural practices such as hyper-capitalism, race-based supremacy, even a dubious Western "Enlightenment."
i love this movie too...its funny im wearing the ku i ka pono shirt and i found this movie..i think we should get the message across to non-hawaiian also...good message...

amazing video. it touches me, and opens my eyes to the sadening problem of the loss of the hawaiian people. Kamehameha schools should be strictly for Hawaiians. i wish i had Hawaiian blood so i could go to kamehameha schools, and participate in the song contest...but since i dont have Hawaiian blood,i wont be suing Kamehameha schools just to get in...
oshawboi808 1 year ago
All of this should never have gotton as far as it did! I am Hawaiian tryed to attend the school and was placed on the wait list 3 times. My sister was the only one out of 7 of us children in my ohana who made it into the school! HAWAIIANS were to attend first..If there were no hawaiian children who wanted to attend then they were to allow the non-hawaiians to apply! Everything was taken from our people and what little we have is still being ripped from our hands! Hanai or not it was HEWA!

@ Alaskaslim.
The main point here, slim. That you've managed to deflect and pervert so VERY well. Is that this child ISNT being excluded from learning about the hawaiian culture. Hes being excluded from an institution that was established to nurture the native kanaka maoli children of the kingdom. so that they too can be given a leg up!
What YOUR proposing is the same as a white kid from texas should be able to walk on to an indian res and claim that he has a right to goto school there!

@TonyPstunts
Incorrect, he was RAISED HAIWAIIN, he was ADOPTED BY A HAWAIIN FAMILY, it is YOUR TRADITIONS HE WAS RAISED IN, so he has a RIGHT TO LEARN THEM.
Instead of "random texan", he's closer to Ward Churchill, without the profanity.

Maryknoll, West Pac, & Punahou. Where the President went to school. ALL 3 great private schools, some of the best in the WORLD! And this kids family wants to choose Kamehameha? What was the purpose of it? Why Kam schools? If He was "adopted by a hawaiian family" Which BTW, HIS MOTHER was adopted by a Kanaka Maoli family. NOT her son. Kam schools are for the KANAKA MAOLI, and NO HAOLE gets to tell us otherwise!

You WERE told otherwise, you lost, remember?
And the fact of the matter is, this issue will eventually be forgotten, other kids will likely follow his path, and your people will come to embrace them, just as "white kids" had to do during desegregation with the people of "color" entering their white-only schools.
Resistance will remain strong at first, then it will eventually fade, as people began to realize how foolish they are, and just stop caring about it altogether.

Your words are nothing more than vapid opinion and spun information. Truly without an INCH of ground to stand on. You obviously seem to think yourself a sage when in reality your nothing more than a fool shouting at a brick wall and thinking that its someone else's voice.
Kanaka Maoli will NEVER be FORCED to accept anything or anyone that someone that lacks the respect that it takes to learn about our proud warrior heritage.

And Again, YOU HAVE BEEN FORCED, in case you forgot Mohica-Cummings DID go to Kame, he DID attend.
And Hell, Roy Benham, former president of Kame's Alumni association, said prior to the mid-1960s, non-Hawaiian children of faculty members attended the school.
So you lost this fight OVER 40 YEARS ago. Dem' the breaks.

The native Americans aren't the Hawaiians so forget about them will u? The Hawaiian culture chooses to have the pride to keep our culture for those with Hawaiian ancestry. meaning RELATED TO THOSE OF OUR LANDS WHO CAME BEFORE US..not to people who CAME HERE by boat years ago. The school strictly wants those WITH HAWAIIAN ANSCESTORS to be eligible for enrollment..get that straight will you??????
oshawboi808 1 year ago
Historically, your perspective is wrong, there have been numerous cases of people of other races going to that school, for hem to suddenly make a case about this kid is ludicrous, and shames the Hawaiians.
Your culture is dying, it's no secret, and if so, is this how you want to be remembered? Squabbling in legal battles over kids just trying to get ahead in life?
The Native Americans matter, because many of them have come to this same crossroad, and chose differently.

This is the most biased video I have ever seen. First of all, Americans are treating Hawaiians faaarrrrr better than their king. If you are above the king elevation wise, you get your head cut off, not to mention that you have no rights. I also love how the girl at the end says that "Americans aren't giving them their land or FOOD, yet she is fat as hell. Kamehameha schools is racist, and they teach culture way too much over real education that gets you far in life. Pathetic...

Also, Hawaii was its own country (100% native Hawaiians) before Americans started colonizing it and finally threw over their government in the late 1890s. Now they're only 23.39% of the total population of Hawaii and that number is STILL decreasing. It's called genocide, intentional or not. Like how many native American tribes are dying out. You dont see white/black/non-native folks try to get into their schools. Why must you insist so for Kamehameha schools?
Trinhy84 3 years ago
Were not killing the Hawaiians, unlike how the Hawaiians themselves enslaved and killed off much of the original natives of the Islands.
People don't go into native American school, because hardly any of them LIVE in the same area where those schools are, and none of them are prestiges multibillion dollar acedemies UNLIKE the Kamehameha schools.

Why Kam schools? why not somewhere else,eh?

@TonyPstunts
You lost it when you denied someone the right to the culture he was raised in, and the oppertunities that school offers.
He was raised Hawaiian, he came from a Hawaiian family, it was only because he wasn't Hawaiian by BLOOD that he was rejected.
If your culture states such people need to be shunned like that, then it deserves to be destroyed and forgotten, there are Native American cultures on the mainland far more worthy of preservation than yours that already have been.
Alaskaslim 2 years ago
@Alaskaslim.....So by your reasoning. Any "...culture states such people need to be shunned like that, then it deserves to be destroyed and forgotten". So what culture do you claim to be from? I wonder, since you chose to bring up the topic of discrimination, What magical and utopic culture do you live in where people live free of prejudice?
TonyPstunts 2 years ago
I don't say I do, but any culture whom exists that encounter this issue and are not even willing to fix it when it is BLANTANTLY obvious to everyone, clearly have no shame.
My own brief exposure to the Hawaiian culture suggested one of togetherness, of "Aloha", tell me, where did that go? When the HELL, IN THE FACE OF YOUR OWN DAMN PRIDE, DID YOU LOSE SIGHT OF WHO YOU ARE?
There's a difference between having PRIDE in your culture, and being a BIGOT, and youve crossed that line.

@alaskaslim.. And further more! Your ad hominem arguement that "there are Native American cultures on the mainland far more worthy of preservation" is a BLATANT racist attack against the peoples of the kingdom.
ALL CULTURES DESERVE TO PRESERVATION! Though it is NOT up to ANY outsider to determine who we are obligated share our culture with. Read up on the history of The kingdom before you speak about something to which you are COMPLETELY ignorant on.

A culture willing to shun and opress those only because they don't have the same SKIN tone, does not deserve to exist.
THAT is racist, THAT is ignorant, Mohica-Cummings deserves to be there, if you think otherwise, then you are just as I described, and if you as a culture believe in that exclusion, then it deserves to DIE.
We have enough hypocrites in this world, we don't need a culture that turns them out in droves, claiming "togetherness" when it they mean only if your skin is like ours.

3. This Kid and his family did have a reason in choosing Kame, because he IS Kanaka Maoli, and because the school offers advantages few in Hawaii offer, and he has a right to it by virtue of his upbringing.

@Alaskaslim he was Hawaiian by HEART...not by BLOOD..and that's what matters..if kamehameha schools allowed people who were Hawaiian at heart, but not by blood, so many people would be eligible to attend the school, and enrollment would be overwhelmed. When princess Bernice P. Bishop founded kamehameha schools,she intended for it to be a school for ppl with Hawaiian ancestry..meaning with Hawaiian blood..no other exceptions....
oshawboi808 1 year ago
They only consider the "HEART" people, after all other applicants by "BLOOD" have already been considered, there was a girl whom was admitted a few years before,so no, they are not "overwhelmed", the school HAS allowed people like him in before WITHOUT turning away "true" Hawaiians.
They had already admitted him, and only discovered after the fact their "mistake", so instead of just going along with it,they tried to act like HE screwed up, I see no reason why HE should be punished like that.

The Haiiwaiians themsevles makes claims their culture is one "togerthness" it seems to me to be one of exclusion if this claim is made on "cultural" grounds.
Your culture is dying, the numbers show it, Native American culture have already accepted people of all sorts to continue their traditions, I don't see what allows you to be so picky.

@Trinhy84 Sorry you are ignorant. Hawaii was not 100% "native" before the U.S. got there. The British were first (hence the Hawaii State Flag), then the Russians and the French. And of course there were waves of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino immigrants as well.
Everyone in the early days, including those you call Hawaiian, got there the same way, in boats. The Hawaiians were not native to the land, they just got there first, but that didn't give them any more rights than the other immigrants.

KS was not intended to perpetuate Hawaiian culture, but rather the Princess was concerned that Hawaiians were not on the same social level as the foreigners coming in and other prominent "White" people in the islands.

Furthermore, Bernice Pauahi Bishop directed her trustees "to devote a portion of each year's income to the support and education of orphans and others in indigent circumstances." A portion, not all of it.

Most of the students make a hard time meeting the tuition cost, reduced as it is, and have to apply for financial aid. And you can't buy your way into the school. Even some of the upper faculty and staff can't get their own children into the school.
If that's the way it is at other schools, that's not how this one works.
