And in addition, large American companies landed in the 1950s to buy everything. What this man did was embodying the anger of Hawaiians, Polynesians, at that time when everyone came, cut Hawaii and appropriated him – gang by gang, firm by firm. And said to him, “It stops. It all stops now.” He took up what belonged to them. “
