I dropped her off this morning and saw girls (and boys) wearing grass skirts, some of them with coconut bras too. I’m not sure what else is going on, but it doesn’t seem very respectful of a native culture that we have seriously fucked over. Would they have a “Native American Day” and let kids come in wearing feathered headdresses?

Or am I reading too much into it?

    There’s a very simple answer to your question that it seems like you’re almost deliberately avoiding: native Hawaiians.

      They’re not a homogenous group, and there isn’t a cultural leader. I know a Hawaiian girl who thinks coconuts and grass skirts are associated with Hawaiian culture. So I guess they are, then, by your standard.
