Hawaii has reached a breaking point.

Every year, more than 15,000 Native Hawaiians leave the islands fleeing rising costs, climate disasters, and a tsunami of tourists. Wealthy investors kick Hawaiians out of their homes. The American military poisons the water supply. Bit by bit, the islands are becoming a playground for the rich. And the people who made this place what it is, who fed it, protected it, raised families on it, and buried loved ones in it for centuries, are being pushed out.

To most outsiders, Hawaiʻi looks like paradise. Postcard beaches. Mai tais. Aloha hospitality.  But this masks a painful history of a kingdom stolen, a culture erased, a fertile land turned into riches for outsiders and ash for residents.
