Re: Those Hawaiians, Those Mainlanders!
What about the term "going native", then? That term drives me nuts. "Going native" to me means trying to become something you can never be unless you are native (as in kanaka maoli). What does "going native" in relation to Hawai'i mean? Shucking your suits and ties and business attire for Alohawear and trying to act like a local? Or reverting back to living in pili grass shacks and the way Hawai'i was pre-Statehood? Maybe that's what Sindahrella was trying to get at.
