Loved this. Using the information we all gleaned from the Hawaiian 19th century newspepahs to reflect on a historical time when we still had newspapers and journalism and newsboys. My husband in Long Beach,CA managed a bunch of newsboys and that was only in the 1950's. Mahalo, Kumu for going outside the box. It isn't always about winning. From Oakland CA

This is a refreshing demonstration of the spirit of Merrie Monarch. It should NOT always be about the "rules"! Tradition is still present - I think the ancestors would be very pleased to see the growth of hula. Please restore respect to this fine halau (AHA) by rewarding their tremendous effort.

I'm disappointed they didn't even place. That's an important historical story!

Da best entertainment of the night, Mahalo❣️

AHA is the reason I watch MM... ❤

I always wait to see this awesome halau! So different & refreshing. There should be an award for crowd/viewer favorite. It's a travesty that they've never placed. Auwe! They are joyful & inspiring. Not the same old, same old. Same halau win every year. BORING!!

Talented kumu, musicians wahine's & Kane dancers a big Mahalo for sharing your talent

I wonder how mark keali'i feels to be trending right now on tiktok lol they did really well as did the other halau must be hard to judge

Wow. Trippy 💖🌺

Newsie's inspired!❤
