Having an indigenous Hawaiian woman give up an indigenous Hawaiian child to the state, and then having said indigenous woman leave her homeland, is not lost on me. It is not lost on any indigenous person or anyone who knows indigenous history.

“Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind, except for when we completely ruin a perfectly okay movie about indigenous resilience and family to advertise our resort.”

It's more than just a shitty remake and a cash grab, they've distorted extremely important indigenous stories and experiences that are already constantly erased and ignored. they've exploited indigneous Hawaiian people to sell a story that ultimately hurts indigneous Hawaiian people due to it's ignorance and lack of care for said people! and it's fucking crazy cause they had the original right there!! Yes it's a shitty remake, but it's also another cog in the machine that works to ignore Indigenous culture, history, and trauma, to make non-indigneous people feel okay with interacting (or better yet, exploiting!) Indigenous people and their culture, their history and yes, in the end, their trauma.

Disney, you don't have to worry about doing better, how about just fucking don't? is nothing sacred to you cunts 😭

when will Indigenous stories be more than a white man's chance at a million dollars?

sending love to all my indigneous Hawaiians who deserve better than this shit!
