Video: Proud Hawaiians, Loyal Americans

From Grassroot Institute June 6, 2014

In this ThinkTech broadcast, Grassroot President Keli’i Akina interviews a young man and young woman who share what it means to them to be both Native Hawaiian and a proud American. The question of Native Hawaiian identity has become politically charged in recent years, and so it is refreshing to hear from Kainoa Castillo and Jenai Akina discuss how they view Native Hawaiian principles like striving for excellence and embracing hard work as complimentary to the American Dream. Those with a historical bent will especially enjoy the reference to Prince Kuhio’s support of the Republican Party and the way in which a culture of dependency is rejected as incompatible with Hawaiian values.
