I’ve read the The Last Aloha. I was impressed. It’s not easy to make history come alive on the page. I felt like I was there every step of the way. Bravo Gaellen Quinn.

Thanks for all your comments. I hope that we have stirred several readers (you who commented, and all the silent ones out there) to read more about Hawaiian history and honor the native history as well as understand the United States role in that history.

I just got back from Hawai’i. I don’t think it SHOULD be a state in the United States. I think it should be an independent nation. It’s so weird that it’s in the middle of the Pacific Ocean yet part of America. I can’t imagine anyone going there and not being interested in the history and culture of the people who live there. But I guess the majority of tourists are like that, which is sad.

What an intriguing story about another place I have yet to go to.

Sounds fascinating. I love Hawaii. When I was there last summer, Hawaiians took over Iolani Palace as part of a movement to leave the US. I would be interested to read about the history of the statehood process.

I don’t know much about this history, but now I’m definitely interested in learning more. It sounds truly fascinating

Hawaiian statehood is certainly a controversial topic. While I enjoy the beach and a “yellow bird,” (not a mai tai fan), getting out to discover the real Hawaii is one way to learn about native Hawaiians and their struggles, adding depth to your vacation in paradise. Hawaii provides many ways for us to experience her beautiful land and people.
