What attitude forever alienated he from the haole or foreign businessmen?

The attitude that forever alienated him from the haole or foreign businessmen was his deep-rooted skepticism towards their intentions and practices. He viewed them as exploitative and disconnected from the local culture and community, prioritizing profit over the well-being of the islands and their people. This mistrust was further fueled by a sense of cultural pride and a desire to protect the local way of life, leading to a permanent rift between him and the foreign business interests.
