If youre Polynesian, think about this: From 1778-1878, all of Polynesia was hit by introduced disease. In places like Hawaii, Nukuhiva and Tahiti, over 70% of the population was wiped out due to lepersy, malaria, TB, venereal diseases, etc within 50 years. Entire generations were wiped out. Hawaiian accounts talk about pigs and dogs eating corpses because the entire village was wiped out by diseases so quickly that no one was left to bury the dead. Some Hawaiians call these traumatic events the long night. If youre Polynesian, youre a survivor. Your ancestors had survived these traumatic and horrifying events. The best tribute you can give to them who passed away in the night is to make the most out of your life. Today. Each day. To always remember you are a survivor and never take anything in your life for granted.
