Utah is the home of the Mormons. Many Polynesians are Mormons. However, that isn't the case with MoJo's family. My great grandfather looked down upon that. I suppose it was his experience with how the Islanders were treated by the Mormons.
Most of my relatives are found all over the South Pacific, California, Arizona, Washington, Hawaii, Utah, and Nevada.
That's why MoJo insisted on moving to the East Coast. I don't like to live around a large community of Polynesians. The aggravation is beyond sanity.
I bet with that much family things can get tense. everyone in everyones business
