Re: the comment about Hawaiian history.  I highly recommend Cook's journals.  The story there is one of gracious welcome and generosity on the part of kanaka maoli.

I know Cook was killed at Kealakekua, but he was trying to kidnap the Hawai`i Island king at the time.  If he had been killed attempting to kidnap the king of, say, Spain no one would claim the Spanish did it because they hate outsiders.

At any rate, this Kailua High School class of '70 grad says "aloha".
