It was the name of a Hawaiian king.....not shure if he was over 9000, but from what I've been told yes.

The Rock was originally going to play him in a movie. I haven’t heard much about that movie.

That was met with animosity as Samoans and Hawaiians did not get along.

Hawaiians and Samoans are natural enemies.

Like Hawaiians and Europeans.

Or Hawaiians and Philippinos.

Or Hawaiians and other Hawaiians (big islanders especially)

Aloha, when are you referring to? If you study the genealogies you'll see that Samoans and Hawaiians are intertwined.

Sure. Its just that as a kānaka maoli and samoan person, this is the first I am hearing that we do not get along.

My apologies I misread an article about opposition to him and the role. It wasn’t that there’s conflict between Samoan and Hawaiian. But that a Samoan and not a Hawaiian was casted.

Jason Momoa is working on a series right now called Chief of War. He's playing an aliʻi of Kauaʻi so the Rock might still play King Kamehameha I.
