Hot Tropics | Prototropic 0.1 / Lindsea Kemp Wilbur 46 Princess Kaiulani’s title taken, and Queen Liliuokalani’s reign cut short, the Hawaiian leaders were imprisoned in their own palace room by the American troops in the last years of the 19th century. Sugar cane plantation owners needed to lower tariffs and guaranteed stability. So the annexation of Hawaii began and to this day, you can find the quilt Liliuokalani sewed while American guards stood with bayonets by the door. The Hawaiian monarchs lost their people’s land, but saved their nation from the violence that surely would have occurred if they were to resist. The American military base was well established. Hawai’i was an asset America needed. The same year Hawai’i became a territory, a province in the American empire, Queens and Staten Island merge with New York City, voting machines were instituted in US federal elections, students at the UC Berkeley stole the Stanford Axe from Stanford University at the Big Game, the first woman was executed in an electric chair, Dreyfus got pardoned in Paris, and the paper clip was patented. Cue the American perpetrated Hawaiian cultural genocide. You could find generations old stone poi pounders in pawn shops. Hula was outlawed, and signs hung around children’s neck reading: “Don’t speak Hawaiian to me.” In 1959, 60 years after the death of the Princess “Last Hope”, Hawai’i became a state of America. In 1964, the U.S. business men cum politicians decided to pump up tourism in Hawai’i after the collapse of the sugar industry. Where is the Hawaiian dream now? You got off the plane and stepped out of the cab into Waikiki. The sun sets behind perfectly curling swells. There are high rises with glass balconies, homeless men and women sleeping on their backs, bloated stomachs, tourists with plastic leis, mai tais, banyon trees housing chattering birds, lions roaring at the zoo... A potent energy concentrated in the land yields high real estate prices and a spiritual inebriation. Half drunk on mystical revelations weaving through the mature landscaping, a prostitute approached you: “Hey baby.” You stopped to ask, “How long you been here?” Lobby of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel
“Born and raised,” she responded, twirling her bleach blond hair in her long nailed fingers. “Where you staying?” “The Royal Hawaiian.” “Great choice. Believe me. I know every hotel like the back of my hand.” You left her to attend to business and entered the lobby of the Royal Hawaiian. You lose your breath. High ceilings. Pink columns. Ocean view. Light fixtures that dropped your jaw. Upstairs in the bathroom you took a hot shower and gazed out at the royal coconut grove, visions of King Kamehameha sitting with advisors John Young and Isaac Davis in deep discussion as trade booms in Honolulu. Faded in the elegance of the atmosphere for a second you felt, truly, just like a Royal Hawaiian. Do you believe in paradise?… Would you still be sipping Mai Tais next to an overweight couple from Texas, on your way to Waikiki, a foreigner seduced yet again by musk of the Hawaiian dream? †.
