In this video I visit Oahu and Kauai, Hawaii, which became the 50th State of the U.S. in 1959. It has a huge tourism industry concentrated in Oahu’s Waikiki beach. Hawaii's history is complex, it was a sovereign nation for 100 years before being illegally annexed by the USA and it has a large immigrant population made up of Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and others who came to Hawaii to work the sugar plantations in the 18th century. Hawaiian culture is therefore a mix of native Hawaiian, Asian and American cultural influences and this is seen in the people and the food of the islands. Tourism and big business have disenfranchised the native Hawaiian people of their right to land, resources and property, in this video I speak to the locals about their opinions on Hawaii and being part of the USA, it's an eye opening insight into the history of these beautiful islands. I also visit Kauai island which has managed to resist the over development of tourism infrastructure seen in Oahu. This is where Hawaii's unspoilt natural beauty can be found along the Napali Coast with its incredible mountains, and you can experience a sense of the Old Hawaii.
