That’s truly embarrassing to me as an American citizen! I blame “not teaching history”. I hated school and if I made a low B it was amazing. I loved history and geography. I made straight A’s in history. Partly because I liked it but mostly the teacher made it very interesting. To this day I still enjoy learning American and world history.
Before I went to Hawaii I studied the Polynesian history & culture for over six months. Not that I thought it was a different nation. I knew the culture & beliefs were similar to the Native Americans (any ancient culture). It’s not many modern cultures that still celebrate & teach the past & the language.
