like in so many other instances of our life’s today, money and greed has become a priority over tradition, culture and history. It’s just sickening. Waikiki is there lineage. Legacy

Would you go to Nepal as a wealthy native Hawaiian buy out the peoples market places and business of weaving and special colored fabric designs and making so you can triple your investment?
Money is money and anyone can do anything to make money. But our world is full of cultures. I indigenous culture and teachings started from generation"S" before us.
It is important to preserve culture. This beach boy culture was started and "advertised" by generations. Profiting off indigenous people is morally incorrect to the culture of anywhere in the world.
Think about this ..... what if the wealthiest man in the world purchased ALL special "places" like The Beach Boys image doings and teaching is special to Hawaii--
And this wealthy person had no knowledge of Nepal. Alaska, Italy. Korea , Japan Singapore etc.
The truth of the culture would diminish and decline. Children would never learn their special places, teachings, techniques, values.
It will be lost slowly but surely.
If you were form Australia and you went on a vacation in Indonesia and payed money to ride an elephant (please excuse this example if it offends animal rights activists) and pay to fly her experience the culture and talk tot he locals and feel the country you visit... and all the workers were Australian.. It would be very disappointing to me. You could have did that activity at home with your fellow mate instead of spend thousands of dollars to travel for a half way experience of a culture.
On a side note, any race or religion can learn the hula and dance beautifully. But to learn it correctly one learns it from a Kumu.
This is not about race. This is about people native Hawaiian people who through generations created an image, built a legacy with no money from the start. Passed this down to generations and grew their business.
Now comes in deep Hawaiian history of ownership of the beach. The government.
It is imoral for another company to profit upon the work, image of The Beach Boys

It saddens me that the time has come to THIS. All for money, not for aloha. I am a born and raised native who lives by culture and aloha. Seeing someone want to take over a beach and bring their business is sad. All they want is money! Let The Beach Boys stay and be The Beach Boys that they are! They have aloha, they knows the waters when their eyes are closed and they have the right to stay! DO NOT LET HAWAII BECOME SOMETHING WE ARE NOT!
