meh. I would rather hear what people have to say about their music. It means a lot to me and I do not know the words.

Hawaiians don't really speak Hawaiian anymore. There's something like only 200 native speakers left in the world.

200 is wayyyy too low here. however, the hawaiian language is slowly dying due to the fact that pure hawaiians are a quite rare. they still teach the hawaiian language in several schools, but the hawaiian culture isn't dying at all. ( at least thats my opinion). your best bet would be internet search.

I have no opinions of Hawaiians. I'm sure they are very mellow people.

I know some schools have started Hawaiian language classes, but that doesn't make people native speakers. For it to be a native language, it would have to be the major language spoken from birth, which isn't the case anywhere on the major islands. Niʻihau is pretty much the only place now with any real native speakers.
