Just wondering. Searched the web, didn't find the answers to a few questions.
Niihau is a private island, so you and I can't go there. Stats show there are 160 people live on the island. The exact word is "mostly" Native Hawaiian.
Here are a few questions:
- The Robinson family is (was) white. Now 150+ years later, are they mostly "Hawaiian blood?" Or have the family members left and found spouses elsewhere, and come back to the island?
- Is there "one person" that is in-charge of the island?
- How does the succession process work? Elizabeth Sinclair-Robinson bought the island. So are the "ruler" (man/woman in-charge) directly related to her?
- There are 160 people on the island, and yes, some have left the island. Suppose they got married to a Non-Hawaiian, can both go back to Niihau?
- If there are 160 people on the island, wouldn't almost eveyone be "related" to each other during the 150+ years? And health dangers?
- They speak the Hawaiian language. Is there a comparison between the Hawaiian language used there vs. what is being use on the other Islands. For example, the Spanish is Mexico is different from Spanish from Spain, which is different from the Spanish in Peru.
