Haw A i'i is Polynesian God Clan that baptized. A Royal Priesthood. Born of the spirit. Ke Akua is Holy Spirit. Ke'a Kua is Cross we bear. My ohana has Christian Hawai'ian English Name. Awa Ke'a is Red Cross of Blood Cross. Mau Na. Ke'a is SOUTHERN CROSS IN SKY. HAWAI'I has relationship with Jesus Christ of Nazaret. if Ohana didn't baptize in 1800's when Kaahumanu did pilgimage we would have NO HAWAI'I. We would be? A Tu'i?

Hawaii had a Queen and was a sovereign kingdom. It should have never been annexed or "taken by force" by America in 1893. America tried to annex the Philippines in 1899 and the Filipinos fought back. 20,000 Pinoys dead but they stopped America from doing to them what America did to Hawaii and the native Americans on the mainland.

The Pinoys hated this and fought back. 20k Pinoys died fighting the Americans. America even invented a new handgun and caliber called the 45acp in response to the Pinoys specifically. The fact is America leaves a base in every country its goes to war with. There are huge bases in Japan Okinawa Korea Germany Iraq and Afghanistan. ( up until the horrible pull out that killed 13 marines) My point is Hawaiians should have used asymmetrical warfare and guerrilla warfare to fight for their country if they didn’t have the weapons and big army.

No resort. utilizing the local markets and shops. Peter, you are right, every beautiful place in the world is in the same situation as Hawaii. We found people in Hawaii that said yes, move here. We found people who said thanks for visiting but don't ever think of moving here, you are not welcome to move here. This series verifies for me the situation and culture of that dual mentality.

Common cycle of cool places being blown up and ruined. Money often ruins those places. The rich move in, drive prices up, push out the locals and culture with it... the place becomes something homogenized remnant of what it once was then people wonder what happened to the place.

Yeah, and it showed a lack of smarts when I looked into the Maui fires and saw a Tamara or something who was the head of safety and it was this lady with only pics of herself in bikinis and had NO background in anything but going to slack key guitar festivals. it made me appreciate OCD types, there's a great film with Charlton Heston and Richard Thomas about a total nerd who is head of that sort of thing in a small town, and he's a bit of a pain, it's a true story, but then a real disaster occurs and he saves the day!

Amazing. I’ve been curious about Hawaii in recent years and this video came right on time!

Mahalo Nui Loa for a wonderful video series to share Hawai’’ Aina and people’s. Was born and raised and moved to Fremont, CA with family. Just came home recently to bring our father’s ashes home to Nanakuli. Was sad of the changes after 45 years of being away. It’s crucial to be involved civically to protect the resources and culture. So grateful that this series is bringing attention to the past, present and hopeful future.

Aloha Peter - I live on Molokai, this has been a great series. Saw Greg and his son from Halawa in the store the other day and told him what a wonderful job you did. I grew up in Waikiki in the 60's and 70's when it was more mellow.

Mahalo for the video, I was raised in Hawai’i and speak the language and am a cultural practitioner. There are really valid reasons for leaving the place where many of our ancestors bones lay, but to be honest the primary reason for me leaving, not the islands but the US, is the high cost of healthcare. I have seen friends having to make fundraisers, go-fund me or sell their property to cover medical bills. Although I am in good heath now I do not want my wife to be burdened with any expenses if I need extended healthcare. I now live in a country that has excellent affordable healthcare and insurance coverage that covers the entire world, with the exception of the US. This is a uniquely US issue.

The fact that we get free videos on KZread by Peter is truly a gift; keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 May I also remind you of the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shockingly sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deal, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤷

Wow, just wow! What an amazing series. Thank you for digging into what’s going on. I just found your channel. I’ll be watch all your videos.

Excellent video. Henry J. Kaiser was a big developer in Hawaii after WWII and I bought a condo from Kaiser Pacific when I was in the Navy on Oahu in the 1970's. His claim to fame was a career in aluminum and cement, building the Hoover Dam and founding Kaiser Permanente to provide medical care for his employees on that project. During WWII, he built hundreds of Liberty Ships and around 100 escort aircraft carriers and then built the Kaiser automobile after the war. Needless to say, he was a successful entrepreneur and infatuated with Hawaii. It was a carefree time when I was there but the enormity of the social pressures has created an awareness which wasn't prevalent then. I've been watching a lot of historic videos on Hawaii and wondering if I should go back to end my days and this one digs deeper than most. Both of you did a great job on this one.

Anybody who's been to Hawaiin islands previous to the last 15-20 years used to see how beautiful it was. Now it's literally just like leaving California to go to California 😢 there's a Starbucks on every corner the whole entire beach is full of tourists. The things that made Hawaii Hawaii are gone it's very sad!! Big money ruins everything just a fact !!

Enjoyed this so much! The mana coming from Elijah is beautiful!

Born and raised in Waianae on Oahu, but moved to CA years ago. It was a trip going from Waianae to a place where majority of people had no clue about the history and culture of HI and the people/Kanaka’s..but I realized it isn’t talked about or educated outside of HI. So seeing this type of content is so cool and I love that the REAL kine stuff is being shared. I hope this slightly change people’s mindsets when they visit, because when you go with love and respect for the land, it’s history, and the people on it is when you get to experience the HI we all know and love!

Wow Peter, fantastic episode! Delving into the heart and soul of the rising generation of the gatekeepers and teachers of Hawaiian culture. My mother’s family lived on Oahu 50 years ago for a time to transition from living in New Zealand to the mainland US. The aloha spirit was planted in their hearts then and carried on through the generations. Aloha is similar to cultural values of respect, honor, and compassion in other Polynesian islands and yet it is unique too. Elijah explained it well from his kumu, Hawaii is uniquely positioned to help the world live a higher spiritual way. Many are drawn to the mana of its islands and people. They feel aloha, and as the darkness and suffering continue to escalate in the world, truth seekers will be drawn to learn from those with greater wisdom and love rooted in the light. Bless the rising generation of Hawaiians who are preserving aloha, in all its ways, and teaching through example and love to the rest of the world. I pray their efforts may be blessed by heaven so the Hawaiian people can thrive in the islands and others will learn how to honor the land so it is not lost to selfish and bureaucratic interests. Aloha forever!

Its sad that so many Hawaiians are having to leave. Hawaiians love their state and it's a struggle. There is a couple of HGTV that renovate houses in Hawaii and they are always talking about getting a family back into those houses. Thing is, those houses sell for a million dollars or more. Its terrible. The fire in Lahaina was just a terrible thing. People are still trying to recover. When a loaf of bread is 13.00, who but Larry Ellison and Oprah can pay for that? I have a friend who was born and raised in Hawaii and lived there for years and for the last 18 years has been in Las Vegas. HUGE Hawaiian population in Las Vegas.
