European Contact, Colonization and immigration
During the early days of interaction between Hawaii and other western cultures, they (explain who "they" are) were very different and separate (Buck, Elizabeth). As time went on (Give exact dates) Hawaiian culture became increasingly influenced by foreign (give exact cultures/nations) culture. The cultural interaction with foreigners started out (dates) with cultural exchanges which consisted of Hawaiians and foreigners integrating each other’s structures into each other’s daily lives (rephrase). The Hawaiian culture integrated the Ukulele and guitar into their music (start by talking about Hawaiian music before outside influence) and learned to play these instruments from the Mexicans, Spanish and Portuguese (Buck, Elizabeth). Cultural interaction is the least threatening, however cultural domination occurred in the Hawaiian Islands as the Foreigners began to force their ideas of morality and western forms (subjective language) of culture on the Hawaiians (Buck, Elizabeth). The cultural domination of the Hawaiian Islands was evident from the (use active voice - Missionaries suppressed hula dancing and other Hawaiian arts - give examples) suppression of Hula dancing which was seen as (use active voice - missionaries judged Hawaiian dancing as provocative) explicit, to the devaluation of Hawaiian arts. Foreigners institutionalize the English language by making it the language of business, government, and instruction (make this sentence about schools) (Buck, Elizabeth). The end of the 1800’s was marked with political struggles due to the fact that the Hawaiian people wanted to protect their cultural identities and maintain power over their land. In the year 1778 there were an estimated 400,000 native Hawaiians living on the island, however by the year 1884 the census saw a drop to 40,000 native Hawaiians on the islands. A huge factor of this were diseases spread by the missionaries such as Smallpox, Cholera, the flu, and gonorrhea.

As much as the Americans were able to they brought over their cultural entertainments. At the beginning Americans only brought over musical instruments and the instruments of missionaries (Buck, Elizabeth). When missionaries first arrived they were granted temporary probation on the Hawaiian islands (Davis, Gavan). The Americans found it very difficult to understand Hawaiian culture and even more difficult to agree with it or even like it.

Cultural Appropriation
(Change to Commercialization) In the year 1919 a group of influential Hawaiians gathered in a home in Honolulu to judge a private hula performance. David and Lydia Bray were a dancing couple who put together an unofficial hula trial with girls that they gathered (Imada, Adria). At the end of the presentation the judges agreed that the performance was not vulgar or inappropriate as said before by Missionaries and Christian Hawaiians. Less than 20 years later in the year 1938 Metro-Golldwyn-Mayer Studios and the Hawaii based consolidated amusement company sponsored an “Inter-Island Hula Contest,” that would crown a “Hula Queen” at the end. Nearly 500 young Hawaiian women competed for this title for over a month (Imada, Adria). Little did MGM know, their hula contest would transform hula from ignominy to celebrated practice in the island and USA. Hula changed from a way to celebrate Hawaiian culture to a one way ticket out of Hawaii for many women, it promised them fame and glamour in the United States (Imada, Adria).
