Not really historically, but in concept.

The music is from an old recording of Mauna Kea by King Bennie Nawahi. I heard Newland speak once and he said that long after he used the song, he learned that the lyrics were actually quite fitting to his animation. I was able to dig up the animation, but I haven't been able to find an English translation of the lyrics.
