The Importance of Native Hawaiian Characters in Disney Movies

Enno Sydney is born and raised in Kauai. Some people thought her family was Hawaiian, but it would be kind of unfortunate to know that she lied about being Hawaiian to get this role because I also have friends who auditioned for Nani and the casting directors told them specifically they were looking for a native Hawaiian actress or like a Polynesian Pacific Islander actress. It's like Dougie Kamehala over again, just cast a half white half Asian girl to play native Hawaiian character instead of like, I don't know, an actual native Hawaiian.
