Why in God's name with all the various media th at available don't we see this on national TV? This is amazing, beautiful, meaningful and flat out needed to be seen.

True, they show cheerleading competitions on ESPN. So why not something that’s culturally significant to a State in our Union?

Including a major media coverage of this cultural event would only bring too much attention of the illegal overthrow of the Sovereign Hawaiian Monarchy, today even acknowledged by the U.N. and recently in The World Court in The Hague as an illegal occupation of the Hawaiian Islands by the U.S. Too many folks would become curious or even educated about this travesty of the representatives of the Dole Corporation who like to President McKinley that U.S. business interests were being threatened by the legal Monarchy of the Hawaiian People and the slow colonization by American missionaries and their progeny were in fact simply greedy to control the Pacific Islanders who had already been decimated by colonialistic arrogance of religious then business interests who wanted power and control for money making purposes. Greed by these interested parties, led by late 1800's Dole executives is much documented. Under the Monarch there was no abject poverty, Hawaiians had the highest literacy rate in the Pacific, were ruled by their support of a world class, highly educated Monarchy that worked for the indigenous people. After killing off over 90% of these people post contact, just like in the Americas of the northern and southern Hemispheres by European conquered, Hawaii still cooperated with the western business interests until Dole and Friends put together a militia, threatened to kill off the locals if the Monarchy refused to cede eve more and total power over Hawaii. Liesthese greedy interlopers told a very different story to the standing U. S. President McKinley. He gave permission to Dole to overthrow the wrongly accused Monarchy as a threat to American lives abroad. Nothing was further from the truth. So, American business interests held sway upon threats to further kill off the indigenous people whom were loyal to the Monarchy. Even today,, the destruction of Hawaiian agriculture requires importation of too many food products and other needed things to live. The Jones Act needs to be repealed as it artificially raises consumer prices. It favors American suppliers by taxing items from the mainland into all the islands. Watch the new Apple production by Jason Mamoa coming out, read James Michener's Hawaii book, read about the current Hawaiian Sovereignty movement, why working Hawaiians can no longer live there, why when making $100,000 a year there taxes leave one with around $68,000 a year spendable, how billionaires are illegally using Property Grant transfers of Hawaiian owned properties to take folks to court to force sales in favor of wealthy non Hawaiians written by haoli (means foreigner in Hawaiian) lawmakers to legally steal on behalf of big business. PBS, BBC and others have documantaries to educate. Advertising driven media stays silent and will continue to do so. Watch the George Clooney film The Descendants based on some actual events as inspiration. The history is simple while the resolutions of returning land extremely complicated and financial restitution as difficult. Billions continue to be made with crappy libraries located in public schools that seldom have classroom air conditioning, education very expensive, locals squeezed out of the housing market for decades and so it does go. Old still Hawaiian dominated areas like the west coastal area of Oahu distrust the colonialism of U.S. government so even food stamp benefits were returned annually to them. The old warrioring and poverty stricken there want their sovereignty, not the narcissistic aid of their occupiers...all facts. I continue to find more shocking info in the last 13 years in which I personally discovered true life for indigenous peoples while living on Big Island was not much better than those under British colonial rule. So, who would date cover this remarkable achievement of the Hawaiian people to continue so openly their cultural practices vs. hula dancers at hotels to entertain tourists only making the rich richer with no regard for the children of this incredibly beautiful culture? Educate yourselves to see the daily realities of these beautiful and still enduring peoples striving against the odds. Which advertiser would date to bring more global attention to the strength and sheer resiliency of Hawaiian culture. It is a magnificent event by the way.

Amazing, all dancing requires strength, but this dance emphasizes the strength and toughness of women. I've never seen such a thing before. In almost every other dance form (and I've seen a lot) women hide their phenomenal strength by delicate gracefulness. I love it!

I love that this performance displays the beauty and grace of women of all body types.

Every lady in this group is beautiful.

This should be included in out American History education. I am 74 and never knew this existed and now I look at this dance as recorded 7 years ago and compare to today and I can see that is being lost. I am glad I did not miss it. This is beautiful!

Holy cow !!! If I did that backbend thing, they couldn't get me up

Power, Beauty, Honor, Pride!

This is one of my favorite Kahiko presentations!

That is so powerful.

Unparalleled choreoografic energy beauty

Как жаль, что не понимаю, о чем поют. Очень красиво

Sugestão, legendar o canto para ser melhor entendido.

Красавицы!

Amazingly strange enough as we have here in the Aceh Nothern Sumatera of Indonesia we have somewhat similar dance even though totally in different language. The impact of the olden days of Genesis 11?

The chant titled “E Manano”, which in this context, means to Manono. In the chant the author is calling for the return of Manono, and is thinking about the things he is going through and the acts of bravery Manono is doing.

I heard that it was Mormon Missionaries that overthrew the natives.
