A quick FYI for non pacific islanders for Moana
Even though you only know Hawaiians doesn’t mean she’s just Hawaiian, and yes, there are more islanders than just Hawaiians.
Her name isn’t Mo-wah-nuh, its Mo-AH-NAH. Honestly don’t even get me started on this one.
Polynesian isn’t a language. Polynesia is a large group of islands that have their own distinct language, rich culture, and customs. There’s Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii, Easter Islands, etc…
Moana isn’t one race she’s everything mixed into one because there are too many cultures to just base her off of just one island.
Maui, as you might have guessed isn’t based off of just one legend either.
Maui’s “War Dance” is called the Haka and they do that dance to scare their enemies before battle.
Fun fact: Moana means Ocean
Please don’t group all of the Pacific Islanders and their cultures into one.
Another Fun fact: Pacific Islanders are some of the best navigators of the Ocean to have ever lived. There has even been evidence of them being the first to travel to America. sorry not sorry Columbus.
And last but not least, PLEASE LOVE MOANA AND GO AND WATCH IT IN ALL ITS GLORY
