Simple. He is Samoan indigenous to Samoa and has ancestral connections to Samoa. Hawaiians are indigenous to Hawaii, who also have ancestral connections to the lands of Hawaii.

Here at Aotea Center supporting Māori on this historic day 30 May 2024 of protest regards to this NZ coalition government of chaos against anti-Maori policies. Any policy effect on Māori affects our Pacific people of Aotearoa. Long time supporter of all things Māori.
Teary-eyed last night's game when seeing my son Pele come on to the field Scotland vs Samoa game. He playing against his cousin Sean Maitland who got the first try. Very special moment for family. Happy to be there live to watch. Good win for Scotland.
Thousands was great to see Māori as well as Samoan,Tongan,and Palestinian flags.All in solidarity with Māori.Connecting the dots in solidarity with global Indigenous causes.Haka,singing n chanting while on march down Queen st.
Emotional day. Love it ❤️
Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand, protest march in solidarity with Palestinians in particular people of Gaza. Huge numbers in support. Speakers then March down Queen Street to the US Embassy. Thanks to the Palestine Action Network Movement Aotearoa.
@soledadobrien
From this side of the world. The sexual predator is an international laughing stock. This is truly America. Nothing like this happens anywhere in the West. This republican primary candidate wants to be president again only so he can't go to prison.
@Remroum
What one can say about white entittled privilege America settlers whose ancestors stole indigenous lands now stealing off Palestinian indigenous lands that are under 75 years longest illegal military colonial occupation by none other a friend of US.
Great to stand in solidarity with GAZA and PALESTINE.
Thousands turn up in Auckland AotearoaNZ to voice our anger at the genocide ethnic cleansing in Gaza by Apartheid Israel funded by the US.
Take action join BDS.
@BenMFreeman
Identify crisis. I support all the comments thus far. You have no ancestral connections to the land that belongs to Indigenous Palestinians.
@NanaiaMahuta
Please, you must first condemn Israeli illegal occupation of Palestinians. Palestinians have a right to resistance. Under occupation for over 75 years.
@DanMKervick
Israel genocide of Gaza n West Bank. It's happening. Israel ultimate goal is land grab, expand settlements. NAKBA 2. Keep status quo. Israel will not end occupation unless pressure from international communities puts pressure on respect govts as did with S.A.
Loving the many Pacific people I met and saw with respective Pacific nation flags or for wearing Tongan t-shirts. Some I saw Samoan t-shirts. So proud of each one standing in solidarity with Palestinians.
Today, we marched for justice and liberation. I’m grateful for my group of Pasifika friends that showed up today and let it be known that we stand with Palestine! We refuse to be complicit. We refuse to be silent. We will never stop, until Palestine is Free 🇵🇸
@cnnbrk
All Native Indigenous peoples celebrating. More to celebrate once confirmed. We in New Zealand will celebrate n stand in solidarity with the first in history a Native Indigenous woman/person Deb Haaland to head the department. Long time coming..
@Bushra1Shaikh
Suella Braverman is a long-time bigoted Zionist. Anti-immigration and basically a horrible human. The students are not fooled by her far right opinions. They know exactly what she is n what she represents. And certainly does not support the Palestinian cause.

Watched the Fiji argument to the ICJ, the Hague, in support of Israel.
My view. Fiji's presentation was weak. And I would say rather embarrassing. The rep, I believe, provided no historical facts n context. No reference to the Power of the Occupier
@TeAoWithMOANA
Good on you, Sir Colin Tukuitonga. You can speak freely. So much admiration and respect for all the years of contribution to the Pacific health sector as well as the NZ n global health. Pioneer many initiatives. Malo!
@ceolawyer
Who's shocked?
Every day, every hour Apartheid Israel commits the worst ever atrocities.
It's just gets worse and goes on n on.
End the occupation.

@noatishby
Boohoo, cry harder....tell your beloved leader Apartheid Israel to end the blockade. Stop the starvation. Call for permanent ceasefire. And yes hostage swap. End the occupation.
@MFATNZ
Stop the bitting for the US. You are happy to condemn Iran. Where's the public statement of condemnation of Israeli strike of the Iranian embassy in Syria killing Iranians. PATHETIC!!!
@mattypvfd
@abierkhatib
It seems to be any positive talk about Palestinian men. You take it personally and make it about you exerting your white privilege. Stop it!!
@IsraelInstNZ
@nzlabour
@chrishipkins
Pathetic INZ. State your position. Dissenting groups in Israel are calling for ceasefire.
Hostage families support swap for Palestinian prisons. Netanyahu declined the proposal. He doesn't care about hostages. He supports genocidal war as you do.
'WHINA' Absolutely impressive and beautiful film on the big screen. Acting was suburb. Irene Cooper granddaughter and exec producer brilliant to help put movie together. She is the little girl with Whina in the famous picture. Highly recommend this movie.

Heart breaking what's happening up North.
Labour govt do better.
@chrisluxonmp
Reminder. It was a white supremacist who murdered 51 muslims.He did not only murder them for their beliefs but also bc they were NOT white. It was easy access for this horrible person to kill while they were praying at the mosques.
Great to be at MANU Samoa Jersey presentation in preparation for game against Ireland tonight. Emotional time. The boys last game together. Wishing the team the very best 😀

@mehdirhasan
Mehdir Hasan tells the truth. Work in public health. We sent Samoan nurses to Samoa to help with the vaccination campaign. Anti-vax Samoans in Australia traveled to Samoa with RFK and did a lot of damage with mis/dis/information in our homeland.
@cmalietoabrown
We differ on this issue on race. I believe this is fair. We cannot be lumped in with others given our current social status. This is in no way special privilege. So happy these opportunities are still on offer. cannot comment on Maori. Cheers
@Tibou33969029
Aotearoa New Zealand protest tomorrow. The Greens political party protested the Israeli embassy Wednesday.
Last Saturday, protest March held around the country.
@abierkhatib
Beautiful humanity extended to you.
The hosts show kindness, hospitality, and genuine love, part of the cultural fabric of people who are incredibly resilient given their oppressive lived experiences. Palestinians are deeply strong in their faith.
@nzherald
Reminder:Palestinians have n still under illegal military occupation 75 years longest colonial control by Israel. Over those years, there have been enormous massacres, n no international Western media coverage n outrage.
@NewshubNZ
Awesomeness. Be part of the global student movement. Students were active protesting against the White South Africa Apartheid regime, so we should support them in solidarity with the genocide in Gaza and end the Israeli Apartheid regime n the occupation. Good on the students.
Happy birthday my son Pele. 29 years today. Celebrating his birthday in Austin, Texas, USA where is living and playing rugby AG. Enjoy your day. Alofa atu from Aotearoa NZ❤

Also demonize Central America. Blames them for their misfortunes in the absense of America's long history of Colonialism and the impact on Immigration
Australia, are you happy with supplying arms to Indonesia, who is committing genocide in West Papua 🇵🇬 just like Israel is doing to Gaza while you support these occupiers.

Kalau sudah seperti ini apa yang mau diharapkan dari pemerintah kolonial lndonesia dan apa yang harus dilakukan Orang Asli Papua Barat.Penyiksaan di Puncak adalah kasus yang kejam & brutal yang mengejutkan satu bumi.
@StrayDogNZ
We never use the term Patriots in NZ. Foreign to our psyche. And it's so American..interesting thread..me not going to listen. These people are boring..
@NanaiaMahuta
The power n influence of the Christian right is dangerous. And we cannot allow this group to hold political positions or form political parties here with dangerous ideology. The influence of US religious right here is growing. We should be concern.
Macklemore here in AotearoaNZ.
Performing tomorrow in Tamaki Makaurau 9 May..
Sadly,no NZ media has covered his visit here.Lots of his songs about social justice.Seen interviews challenging his role as a white artist in Black hiphop.Macklemore clear of his role as a ally.
@nickarockel
Golriz was the only refugee MP. She received racist, misogynist, xenophobic responses and death threats. This all while an MP with work expectations contributed to her mental health and well-being. Stealing was an irrational behavior and probably coping strategy.
@ecomarxi
Musk, of course, would align himself to Apartheid Israel, a regime he is familiar with and has benefited from. He is a greedy billionaire who wants to appear to the world as the white savior. His billions can be of good to the world. Shameful!
@Lai_luuu
Palestinian journalists are so brave n doing it all for ALL journalists. I can see in their eyes pure grief. Many of their colleagues were killed by US weaponry fired by Apartheid Israel. International journalists are not permitted in Gaza. I cry with them.
🇯🇵 Reiwa party lawmaker Akiko Oishi demanded Prime Minister Kishida to ban 🇮🇱 Israel from Osaka Expo 2025.
@oishiakiko
said Israel is violating international law by committing a genocide in 🇵🇸 Palestine; therefore, it should not be allowed to join the international exposition.
The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, let us die in Maui fires, devastated our universal healthcare, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of independence
