Hawaiians and Native Americans (Crossing East)

From the late 1700s through the 1800s, the fur trade on the Pacific Rim brought Hawaiians to the Northwest Coast of North America. Today, their legacy remains through city and landscape names, through the forts and trails they built, and through the memories of their descendants.

This flash movie was created as part of the Crossing East Asian American history series which won the 2006 Peabody award and ran on 230 public radio stations. For more info go to crossingeast.org.

@whitebearclaws Native and Asians are similar, so are Asians and Africans, and so are europeans and Africans...we are all related in some way through evolution, so I was taught that!

[twyztur1978]

@TheDominican10 Half true, we are all 99.9% related, our skin color does not make our race, its our DNA, so, you are right in some areas, but still there are many years left till the WHITEMAN learns that they stole nothing, but sloppy seconds, lol!

@twyztur1978 Wow! You're the ultimate mixed mutt mongrel. Do you have a little coyote or rat in you too. The way you natives breed like animals, you may as well have. Indians suck! Lazy fucking, drunken, gambling losers.
