Local Cultural Movement (identifying as local)
The Local Cultural Movement (aka. Hawaii Local Coasting Movement) is a term that was created to achieve "Hawaii Local Pride" through "Hawaii Local Identity" and form a lifestyle of old fashioned Hawaiian Style ways that was later on called "Hawaii Plantation Values". The movement was characterized by its recognition of multiple forms of Hawaii Music, renewed interest in Pidgin English, Hawaii Ingredients, the Aloha Spirit, and Plantation History. Those who played an integral role were local news sources of Hawaii (Hawaii News Now, Hawaii Business News, and Civil Beat Hawaii), books published (Barbara Kawakami "Picture Bride Stories", Rachel Laudan "The Food of Paradise"), and musicians Jack Johnson, Raiatea Helm, and Bruno Mars who call Hawaii their home.
The movement touched political issues in relationship to Hawaii's high cost of living issues had brought upon the term "Priced Out of Paradise" from Hawaii News Now to be a household statement. These further involved: closed shipping for no competitive pricing that equalled high shipping costs (1920 Jones Act) that bring up food costs and business overhead (1), non-resident outside purchases of limited real estate that is not occupied or penalized for not living on limited land resources (2), increased family home expenses of utilities and child raising easily make an increase Hawaii homelessness issue or talents moving to the mainland as a result leaving the Hawaii economy (3).

Local Controversy
Haole
Hapa-Haole Well, after much long discussions about blood purity, blood status, blood nicknames, and resident points of view types it got me starting to get everyone's labels written down. While it is still a work in progress it makes me think of Harry Potter, but i guess blood is always a marker for controversy.
Birth Status (Blood Purity) Pure Born (100% Racial-Born, Very Pure) Mixed Born (Racial Born -99%, Impure) Half Born (+50% Racial-Born, Half Pure) Partial Born (-49% Racial-Born, Partial Pure) This goes for any race, since each one cares about blood purities. The subject popped up based on Hawaiian Bloodlines, Royalty Bloodlines, and Racial Bloodlines with government basing deals that are on Blood %'s. Hawaiian Birth Status Names Native Hawaiian (pure blood) native born , Hapa-Haole Hawaiian (mixed blood), Hapa Bloods (Multiple Blood-Borns) Blood Traitors (Social Traitor Pure-Borns) Malahinis (Polynesian, No Hawaiian Parents, literally. stranger) Malahini-Born (Not-Polynesian, No Hawaiian Parents) Kama'aina (resident) Aina-Born (island born, current resident) Blood Status Nicknames Clean Blood (named purity statement) Dirty Blood (named impurity statement) Poi Blood (Dirty Blood, No Blood Purity) Blood Status Viewpoints Elitist Bloods (Supremacist Racial Pro-Blood Pure-Born views) Blood Puritest (Anti-Blood Mixture views) Value Systems Local, is a attitude, sense of unity, and a mix of people. Those who are born in Hawaii don't always buy in to the local culture, or ethnic heritage, or even school identity. So they end up rejecting it all and feel disconnected. It makes people have a harder time identifying as something. So what ends up happening is wherever the most amount of accumulated time or influence of hobbies is becomes their identity. If they like to listen to popular american music they will dress and act the part, if they enjoy religion and church they will identify primarily as christian, if they are into a hobby they will identify first as that sort of hobbyist, if they like another ethnic culture they will try to adopt their ways and state they are someone who is fascinated with it.
