They are all Austronesians. So the Hawaiians indirectly descended from the Filipinos who descended from the Formosans. Modern day Filipinos were recruited to work in Hawaii in 1906 as sugar cane (and pineapple workers) and as strike breakers by the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association. The last group recruited arrived in 1946. A total of about 125,000 worked in Hawaii, half of which returned to the Philippines or moved to the mainland USA and the rest stayed in Hawaii.

@@davidsupremo1574 that's a big stretch. Philippines is a very diverse place, it's rich diverse history both culturally and racially deviates greatly from that of Hawaii. This oversimplification is part of the effort of American Philipinos to identify as Hawaiian as a subconscious way of circumventing anti-Asian sentiment, not to mention the anti-Philipino sentiment the rose after the US took Philippines from Spain and made it us territory(and thus cause Philippines migration into US). As you stated, hundreds of thousands of Phillipinos migrated into Hawaii in the 20th century,and guess what? They were NOT welcomed by native Hawaiians. There was a name for them which I won't say here, but they were called a particular parasite of bamboo. Many second gen Philipinos internalized this and turned around and called other FOB Phillipinos this as a way to prove they were Hawaiian. It's an ugly sad history for everyone that still has consequences today. Phillipinos today are more closely related to Malay and Indonesian, Chinese and Spanish more than a Polynesian.

@@galaxykidM5 I'm not denying Austonesian, but that is a HUGE group. I agree about the Spanish DNA, no disagreement there. Not sure what your point is. Filipinos have very strong Filipino markers. They are separated from Polynesians by about 3,000 years. Polynesians are a relatively new genetic pool, and it does NOT include Filipino. Why? Because Filipinos did not enter into Polynesia, period. It was speculated before by English academics that ancient Filipinos were the founders of the Pacific Islands. On paper it was perfect, case closed. Then genetic testing revealed that Polynesians of of 2 distince 'waves'. About 3,000 yeas ago it was pure Lapita peoples, essentially ancient Chinese. Then 1,000 years later a huge influx of Papuan (ancient african black islanders who spread all over) It doesn't include Filipinos at all! Some Filipinos are _Negrito_ who are descendants of this group of Papuans. But thats it. The Malayo languages that Indonesians, Malay and Filipinos speak probably came from these ancient Africans seafarrers but that is just my theory based on some words that we share in Africa that I heard people in Filipines and in Malaysia using. These ancient African seafarers had a huge diverse language that evolves quickly (in fact, Papua New Guinea has THE MOST language diversity on earth in such a tiny place) Today, yes, Filipinos were introduced starting around 1927 to the Pacific Islands by Anglos colonizers. Most Pacific Islanders today are just Filipino that do not want any association with their true identity. The beautiful Islander poster pinup models are very likely Filipino women. But they are not Native to the Polynesian islands despite what people want to believe.

@@StalkedByLosers - Not worthy of a proper rebuttal if you can’t even spell ‘Filipino’ (the people) and Pilipino (the language) correctly (not Phiilipinos!) At the very least read up about ‘Austronesians’ in Wikipedia. You’re forgiven if you are a Haole. Aloha brah!

@David Supremo actually have no rebuttal. You only have racist poo flinging. You lose.

Thanks for sharing your story Kahoalii! Mahalo nui loa!

Does anyone knows where they buried him?

I can tell the story that’s she telling talks about my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 and I’m connected to Kamehameha 1 by blood 🩸 and my Hawaiian name is Kahoalii and his early wife is my seven time grandmother and so by blood 🩸 I’m related to Kamehameha 1 and his kids are my great uncles and so I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 by my middle name Kahoalii and because my blood connects to him so I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and I know the story about My seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 and I am blood related to Kamehameha 1 and his kids are my great uncles and it’s good she wants to talk about my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 and I respect that too as the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1
