What audacity to try to wrest a native term away from indigenous people. Imagine a Florida restaurant naming itself Cincinnati Chili Cafe and wanting restaurants in Ohio to stop using the term. Bothers me anyway what the YS did to Hawaiian culture for a hundred years before annexing the isles in 1895- a sad start to US imperialism .
