Hawai’i Nei
<p>This colonization and gentrification is not new. Over the past few years, several protests around sacred lands and monuments have made <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/travel/hawaii-tourism-protests.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">national news</a>, but still I am bombarded with stories of vacations to new resorts, water parks, and attractions being built anywhere and everywhere. Several Hawaiian Culture activists are leading the charge on the “anti-tourist experience” including Kyle Kajihiro and Terry Keko’olani of <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/hawaii/article/detours-Hawaii-unique-travel-experience-tourist-15889033.php" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">DeTours, an educational group</a>. They hope to expose visitors to Hawaii’s history without the luaus, tikis, and small umbrella drinks. They hope to bring awareness to the long-term harm caused by the colonization that took place even before the forced annexation in July 1898.</p>
