Do you know about the Māhele in Hawaii? Or the Dawes Act in the continental United States? 📃

Throughout history, there has been a continued effort to strip Native people of their connections to the land. We can see the long-term effects in some of the ridiculous housing prices of today's market. 🏡💰

Are there any ways we can actively work against this? Let us know what you think! 👀

Over time, missionaries bought the ownership of certain newspapers, such as Ka Nupepa Kuokoa in 1864. The missionaries became editors and assistant editors to publications that Hawaiian communities were reading. Readers from the church wrote suggestions "to make the paper more puritanical." ⛪

Slowly, the newspaper became more of an outlet for evangelizing rather than Hawaiian-centered literature and news, causing disdain among contributors such as Joseph Hoʻonaʻauao Kānepuʻu. ✍️

Do you see bias in news outlets today? What methods do you use to understand prejudices that may be presented while reading a news article? 🗞️
