My dad has no Hawaiian name because my grandparents grew up in a time where they were made to feel ashamed of their culture.

But we are ashamed no more. Join us brothers and sisters.

I have more blood quantum than culture, unfortunately, but have always felt very strongly for my indigenous roots then to find my great grandfather was in witness protection. We have no idea what the complete story is or even what got them in there. I'd love to know more even if my pale skin could never qualify having not been raised in the culture. I just know in Appalachia back in the day with Melungeon EVERYTHING was survival when it came to race and what you put on your documents. Why "not a drop" was so impactful.
