It’s their culture not to wear one. Try to keep up or stay quiet.

I want to inform everybody. This is Kingdom of Hawaii. This is not America. Please inform Micronesians, Vietnameses and Samoan. That there isn't any anchor babies in the Kingdom of Hawaii allowed. Due to our Queen in the past sign into law saying there is no more anchor babies in the kingdom of Hawaii. So it's Hawaiian law only Hawaiian laws rule over here. Not American laws. So you notice this newscaster she's not supposed to have these people that are illegal on the land on TV. The micronesians, Vietnamese and Samoa. Are not the indigenous people of the kingdom of Hawaii. Ancestry also told us. That Micronesians came from Taiwan ancestry, Vietnamese came from China ancestry, Samoans ancestry came from the Philippines. They are not Polynesian people after all. Only Tahitians and Hawaiians ancestries came from Polynesia.

Wow! Such a gracious host you are, not.. So this law, is it still in effect? I wonder, bcus us “not true hawaiians” (which we dont claim to be, btw) thought we were invited here to showcase our culture and traditions.. But seems very clear that you speak on behalf of all “true hawaiians & tahitians who are of real polynesian heritage”, that you clearly are not very welcoming and do not want our people on your shores. You really should have spoken up before Hawaii decided to host FestPac 2024. But, oh well.. What can we do, right?!
