Article claims Rose Naehu was Indian/Pakistani/Hawaiian and that descendants of Rose Naehu would "reportedly state" their mother to be "pure Hawaiian." I am descendant of Rose Naehu, who died giving birth to my mother, Rose Chow. I have my grandmother's birth and death certificates which clearly list her as pure Hawaiian.
In the most perfunctory of glances, one must note that the country of Pakistan wasn't even in existence in 1916, when my uncle was born. By even Wikipedia pages, the name was coined in 1934 and the state came into existence in 1947!
Further, if one looks into the history of Hawaii, they will find that immigrants to the archipelago included Asians imported for plantation work. Namely, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipinos. Those Asians did not include Indians. Other imported laborers included the Portuguese. There is no evidence to support the claim that there were Indians in Hawaii, much less that my grandmother was Indian.
The information is then linked to another page that states Hawaiians were not proud of mixing ethnic blood. Anyone who has ever been to Hawaii will see evidence to the contrary. Most Hawaiians who exist today have mixed blood. Hawaiians were not ashamed to proclaim their geneology. They are, however, because of their deep cultural understanding of their responsibility to their ancestors, quite adverse to accepting an outsider's faulty statements of their genealogy.

[edit] Reliable source on William Chow
William Chow mentioned in A Chronological History of the Martial Arts and Combative Sports 1940-now Article, Electronic Journals of Martial Arts and Sciences
"...between 1942 and 1953, Mitose promoted six students to 1-dan. Among these was William K.S. Chow, who actually trained under Mitose’s student Thomas Young. In 1944, Chow started his own class at the Nuuanu YMCA, and in 1949, Chow began calling his methods "kenpo karate." Chow continued teaching kenpo karate (though not always by that name) until his death in 1987, and his better-known students included Adrianao Emperado, Ed Parker, Bill Chun, Ralph Castro, and much later, Sam Kuoha."

[edit] Breen article nonsense
This was a poorly referenced article with many factual inaccuracies. And read this if you think Cerio was more than a two week study of Chow. nuff said User5802 05:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
