A Surviving Quality of Hawai'ian Culture

"His people welcomed our presence; and no matter how protracted our stay, Hawaiian hospitality, or love and loyalty, whichever it may please the reader to call it, was never exhausted." Chapter IV

One of the reasons I like this quote is because it talks about how Hawaiian, not American, hospitality survived through American Imperialism; it shows a sense of pride in Hawaiian culture. When it says that hospitality "was never exhausted," it shows that people had to work hard to keep their culture alve through American Imperialism.
