Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau Test

The film Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau shows how imperialism can affect the territories that are being taken over by larger countries by providing jobs, and giving this territory a newfound exposure to its culture. In the film it showed Eddie Aikau becoming a lifeguard for the bay he lived near as tourists had started to flood in mostly from the mainland United States. Then, this exposure from all the tourists gave an outlook on surfing to the entire world, causing a massive rise in popularity, and the Eddie Aikau invitational got participants from all over the globe. Lastly, imperialism was the one of the main reasons, the Hawaiins reconstructed the ancient Tahiti canoe as they wanted to prove to everyone that was learning their history and culture that their ancestors were not some happy-go-lucky guys and were actually very smart.
