A cycle of violence. It is retaliation for the last horrendous act, when will this violence stop?

With the introduction of semi-automatics the dispute have turned from spears and mild casualties to full blown assaults. It is terrible to think with the introduction of these weapons' death and trauma is the norm

I hate to see it when a group of profit-driven archaeologist bring down the reputation for all those associated with archeology.

It seems like some Kanaka Maoli are caught in the crossfire of what is right to do.

Native American boarding schools similarities? It seems like the same concept for trying to make the people inferior and serve western ideologies.

This is a very general statement but is true. I have heard people from the mainland talk about how Hawaiian superstitious and everything else.

Previously in the chapter it states that Archaeologist face distrust with the Kanaka Maoli. The work of Archaeologist not protecting the site Ha‘ikū is disrespectful to the people and land.

Of course, the government only made an attempt to protect the island when it would better their political agenda in Hawaii.

I think its interesting that they are never in agreement and when they are partnered there is a distrust.

reminds me of the missionaries in Tanna Times and all the diseases they brought with.

Thinking it only took a 111 years to go from Europeans first arrival to then establishing a museum trying to preserve Hawaiian Culture...

Two different cultures crashing? The tradition and cultural exceptions of one side and the American side.

I never really thought of the "native" and "real" anthropologists' terms. You can still be a native anthropologist but still, be an outsider and insider. An example would be from the text Marking Indigeneity. He is part of their community but was looked at differently when he offered help in places they would not expect him to be.

Sisina, Jackie, and Kirinrose are not so different rather 3 separate stages that overlaps with each other.

I do not agree with this. I understand that children will display their goods to other Children but do not want to interact with adults. Growing up fearing adults does not seem right.

Do only kids directly refuse?

I never knew sharing could get so extreme. I can not even imagine passing out chewed gum, etc.

different concepts of what is and not accepted

This $33million price tag should be raised substantially. The use of their oceans and land is worth more than that number.

It blows my mind that many government officials acknowledge the under compensation and sacrifices the land owners had made. But they still took the the money to secure funding.

The landowners resistance represents the coral. The American and Japanese narratives are the layers of concrete being added to the land/narrative.

The ignorance of the Americans working on Kwajalein, the land is much more to the people. It is an identity and rooted in their history

imaging seeing over 40000 troops storm to Kwajalein is mind boggling, The damage that must of been done from both sides I can not comprehend.

I think it is fascinating the design/art style of the Marshall Islands portrayed by the Japanese. By painting it using Japanese techniques, it creates a sense that this is part of Japan and the islands are for their taking.
