Nā Loea: Mālama Moʻomomi - Mac Poepoe, Master Hawaiian Fisherman
Музыка
ʻŌiwiTV’s Nā Loea: The Masters is an original film series by ʻŌiwiTV that promotes and perpetuates kuanaʻike Hawaiʻi, or a Hawaiian worldview, through the engaging stories of a select group of masters whose collective knowledge represents an amazing cross section of cultural wisdom.
Mālama Moʻomomi features “Mac” Poepoe, a native Hawaiian fisherman and community leader on Molokaʻi, who has dedicated his life to sharing his knowledge of traditional resource management with the hope of ensuring that this ocean “ice box” will be well-stocked for generations to come. Mac’s wealth of knowledge and expertise accumulated over his years of growing up in the rigor and lifestyle of a Hawaiian family that has been fishing and maintaining the sustainability of these waters for generations. (It could be said that) Mac is one of a small group (or “one of a dying breed”) of skilled fisherman who approach their practice with a passion not just for the sport of it but to hone and perpetuate their skill and expertise in managing Hawaiʻi’s ocean ecosystems, which is critical to the sustainability of Hawai‘i and its people. This humble fisherman is a giant resource for Hawaiʻi’s future.

Growing up in this culture was the most powerful force on my development as a human being and a man. I have lived my life with very similar views and values as Uncle Mac. A perspective of humility and gratitude. mahalo
Uncle is serious but yet humble. Mahalos for the video
Best 27 minutes I spent on KZread hands down.....mahalo nui....
Mahalo Mahalo Uncle for your mana'o... As a fisherman...this video made me question myself as a fisherman, my values, my ways of doing things. I am humbled and grateful for your words.
also makes me question myself as a fisherman. uncle u are a true fisherman. mahalo plenty from all the people of hana maui.
cried watching this, love to see this kine
That is true Hawaiian style I'm glad to see some of us is still perpetuating the Hawaiian culture and trying to preserve or resources for for our future generations mahalo for sharing that video
Very appreciative of this content. Can’t believe it took almost a decade to find it.
I like the idea he expresses at the end, in which the expression of change over time is viewed through the prism of a ‘changing story.’ If the relationship between the elements change, or if the circle is broken in some way, then “the story changes.” Until then, fundamentally, “the story is the same.” That’s profound.
I could watch videos like this for hours. Thank you for Sharing.
I grew up this way but here on Oahu is getting less and less fish and a lot of people don't fallow da rules and regulations

It is even worse on the outer Islands the fish on the inner reefs are moviing out to the outer reefs just like Oahu
Such a well made documentary for hawaii's history.
Your Mana'o is so uplifting and I'm happy to know I've been on a good path since a Young boy fishing and gathering from the ocean and loving and caring for the ocean with every amount of respect it deserves. I hope I can spread your message to the generations of Kanaka Lawai'a from my Son and Daughter growing up around me to the generations of keiki unborn and still to come.
Molokai styl old school disaplen respect honer an pride. I like that styl only if the new generation had teachers like that the world would be peace. Thank you Hart felt watching this video.
Heartwarming video! Thank you for your contribution.
Mahaloz for the video. Miss Molokai more than ever. Nice to see faces I recognize from school
Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your way of life. I look forward to learning more.
This is the most beautiful video I've seen about fishing in hawaii as a local family growing up and learning, and passing down the knowledge for future generations the only right way 🙌. Mahalo for this insight uncle!
Awesome video about Uncle Mac, haven't seen him in decades!
God bless you and your family Unko MAC. Awesome video. Mahalo nui
Easily the Best KZread segment I’ve ever watched, reminds me of when I was a child , learning from my father & Papa. I also love the way Uncle is so calm & relaxed about shooting the footage, most people in their later years not used to be on camera, or even expressing their thoughts. We were Truly Blessed, Mahalo’s Uncle🙏🏼🤙🏽💯
Fortunate and honored to watch this video. Made me check myself and my outlook on hunting and gathering. Mahalos and continue to inspire and educate. Aloha.

this da good kine fishing mentality. He no care about showing off on facebook or to his family the most fish he can possibly show by keeping everything. Instead the humility just means you share what you actually kept for food.

I love how he talks about tradition and the earth how you need to pay attention to theses things. I feel so many ppl have lost there way to modern society and have become toxic and destructive. Its like humanity has lost its way to what matters and what got us here. 🙌🤙

Mahalo nui Anakala Mac Poepoe 🤙🏾🤙🏾...
Mahalo nui loa uncle mac from hour ohana on the big island! Cheehu! Going kau kau stick tomorrow!
Peace n love
Interesting thing about the moi. By throwing the large moi back the are releasing the egg laying females. Moi transition from male to female at around 12”. Also older fish produce exponentially more and healthier eggs/sperm. It seems the Hawaiians were so in tune with their environment they unconsciously knew this.
Much respect, kiaora whanau
Chicken skin this video right on!! Glad I came across this. Now I miss home more!
Anyone know the name of that song?
🙏💚
Was there a lady who was a kupuna who watch over a secred site moomomi?
Aloha to da braddahs in moloka'i ! Big mahalo for sharing your mana'o.this video openned up the eyes of many,including myself.i loving fishing and diving so much that i would stop for 5 years or even longer to bring back all the brood stocks so the next generation can enjoy the ocean too.people think i crazy but i trainning myself to stop eating poke and sashimi unless i catch and make um myself.lol.and no disrespect to social media but everybody gotta stop overtaking fish to look good on instagram and facebook.aloha to everybody and big mahalo to da hawaiians from moloka'i \m/
8:40 - the old superstition about, you don't talk about going fishing because the fish will hear and you won't catch any.
Aloha, Mac ! Maika'i no, Mahalo! Kaleo
What was the big fish at 14:30 ?

No CnR culture on oahu. But lately I feel like it’s slowly changing. People are realizing if you take everything you catch there won’t be anything left for the next time.
