I was speaking on one of the reasons I’ve sought to permanently reside back on the Hawaiian Islands over the years other than it is home for me the mainland has not been my home ever. There is no where on the mainland I’ve considered nor deemed as my home overseas Morocco because of lineage as rooted there — aside from that a great deal of the harassment and following me around I’ve been vocal/spoken of truthfully would cease I can also guarantee the main problems would not follow me there being law doesn’t put up with it as well as the Polynesian Islands do not like haoles on it anyway even less these days let alone anyone who harasses/trails one of their Brown dignified sisters who has made it plain to cease many times. I relayed the main problem at one point a few years ago claimed they came through the area and compared to their bat ish invasive sexually harassing antics they usually pull, harassing Women or Girl citizens posting it openly they didn’t do none of that. Polynesian bro’s on their island unlike Johnny Come Lately colonizer mentalities that won’t lift a finger for anything that actually is valid of the eurocentric mainland will come see any problem like that of harassing and menacing one of theirs on their island. They really will and do put hands on those who attempt it. Matter of fact that problem was the quietest they ever were because they do not play there law or otherwise. In fact the last time I was there some drunken Marine in a nightclub thought he was going to run his yap at a group of Native Men that resulted in his stabbing to death… and the law really didn’t half investigate it because frankly put we don’t like haoles on our islands causing problems. It is taken seriously. I’ve spoken of this before but we won’t even speak on something as simple as flipping off a native on the freeway in traffic or cursing them out. It occurs all the time they will run those who do down and handle them… and law will not generally take the one who began the issue’s side. They frequently tolerate tourism etc at most anyway. There is a reason many of the non Polynesian kids have to attend private educational settings because in Public they don’t fair well most often. The reason harassers and predators prey on Indigenous and really minority Girls/Women especially if we are not on our lands is they deem us as vulnerable and thus vulnerable targets being we make up far less than 1% of the population in America and 2% for mainland Indigenous those types are aware we are minorities. If you examine the majority of criminal offenses towards Girls/Women of some sort of Indigenous background many of those cases either involved the person being shifted off native land OR did not reside on native land to begin with. That is one reason Indigenous Girls/Women like to either remain on our lands or close to home otherwise we are fair game most often. Predators, Harassers, etc are aware we don’t have nearly the cushion nor real community protection like we would on our lands. Like most Indigenous and Brown cultures especially Polynesians tend to stick together and watch out for one another. Our values are completely dissimilar to non Indigenous.

Here are some examples

Worst case scenario of harassing stupidity. Albeit this wasn’t the incident I spoke of earlier but similar as it occurs frequently. The native people involved kept relaying to the non-native causing a problem to “go home” and leave instead he ran his mouth/attempted to act tough and that is the often end results.

In this instance the premise of the issue albeit it was overboard according to the description the ones being confronted are White/non Native even if they reside on the island but white nonetheless AND they did run their mouth at people they didn’t know.. and natives at that. They were asking for it to be blunt. Moral of that story is I don’t care what anyone sees or hears other people do Polynesian Islands or not, keep your mouth shut. If it’s that much of a problem discreetly call SPCA or law don’t yap off at people you don’t know… especially when it is the home land of people and you’re essentially a guest. The sentiment of where the animosity stems from is valid no one can fault the native people for it because that is the truth. Moral of the story don’t run your yap it’s their island. A reaction like this is standard it’s not uncommon upon being provoked usually in some way.

To tie this all in this is why any harassment, trailing, predatory crap would cease if Indigenous sisters and those like myself resided on our lands permanently.
