Be considered native Hawaiian despite her family having been there a few generations.

When googling this information, I came across information such as the Honoliuli internment camp and stories of some people being detained due to their race. Like the majority of those in Hawaii, my grandmother or her family was also not detained.

However, my grandmother said that soldiers (or agents, I don’t know which) came into their home and confiscated any items they thought had to do with the emperor. I think I remember a scene from a movie that resembled that scenario in the 1990 film “come see the paradise” but haven’t had any confirmation that this was a widespread policy. It’s killing me cause I don’t want this information to be forgotten but as far as I can tell, it doesn’t even exist in any official record :/
