According to James Houston's book, "Bird of Another Heaven", I learned what happened to Hawaii in 1893. Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown by missionary boys. Missionary boys were responsible for getting rid of Hawaiian Culture. See my review about his book in this Multiply.
I had no idea that President Clinton in 1993 signed an Apology Resolution to Hawaii for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893 until I went to check out the history of Hawaii in Wikipedia. I guess this is a wonderful news to the people of Hawaii . Missionary boys lost a battle against it but I know that they already passed away. Otherwise, Hawaiian Culture is already coming back and a success. Hawaiian people will never forget their important culture that ancestors passed on to them.
