In 2013, I visited a similar former 20'th century leper colony on the Greek island of Spinalonga. It was swarming with tourists despite their being no accommodations for them whatsoever. Spinalonga is a barren rock in the middle of the sea; Kalaupapa is prime, green, beachfront, flatland real estate surrounded by imposing cliffs... The people who you've spoken to are very, very right to be concerned.

I spent 2 weeks in Kalaupapa in 2019 as a contractor for Hawaii DOH. When people ask me what it was like, I reply "It was very, very quiet". My last day there I tried climbing up the mule trail, the top of which collapsed in a landslide in 2018. I was very surprised this video made no mention of saints Damien and Marianne Cope. I get that we don't want two Europeans to overshadow the native Hawaiians in the story of Kalaupapa, but they are important enough to at least get a mention.

By coincidence, I just finished a book, “The Colony,” by John Tayman. One of the most important stories of the history of the settlement is Father Damien, a Catholic priest, who came to Kaluapapa in 1873. In 1883, a group of 7 Catholic nuns, led by Mother Marianne, came to help in the care of the patients. Father Damien contracted Hansen’s disease by 1878 and spent the rest of his life in the Colony. Because of their work and sacrifice, and much else, Father Damien and Mother Marianne were both canonized as Catholic Saints in 2009 by Pope Benedict XVI. Other denominations have also made the mark on Hawaii.

My sister,Helen, and I rode the mules down the cliffs to Kalaupapa some years ago...We were met by a man who was a healed leper. He took us by bus to the community center where they fed us a wonderful sandwich and gave us a drink..We boarded the bus once again for a tour of the Island. Stopped at Father Damien's Church..Sat on the benches to the side of the church where patients say and were able to spit in the holes on the flooring that was provided for them....while out wonderful driver gave a lecture...This man was chosen to go to Belgium to be awarded and to represent the Island. I believe it was when they removed Father Damien's body to be buried at his home grounds...experience this all was....It was difficukt to get back on the mules , however!!!!!🌺 What a wonderful

My Dad was a one time volunteer at the settlement during the 70's. He told us hilarious stories with the people he grew to love. He also told us about the intense sadness that is palpable there because of their isolation. The people know that they would be mocked or stared at, so they keep to their small world. In a way, I'll be glad when the people there no longer feel like they have to stay hidden, and can join everyone else in the sun.

As kama’aina (local to Hawaii) Im curious what brought Kalaupapa to your attention? It wasnt stated if you’ve visited, albeit given the year of the video, w/the COVID19 pandemic restricting Hawaii’s travel & tourism Im venturing a guess the answer is either No, not visited or perhaps one pre pandemic, quick visit? Im not convinced I see your cinematography anywhere thats identifiable as Wendover or affiliated channels. I find it interesting theres no mention of Saint Damien? Im not catholic (except maybe w/small “c”), but this could be the one & only documentary which eleminated Saint Damiens mentioning. Thanks (Mahalo) for correctly pronouncing most Hawaiian words (except the islands name), much better than most non Hawaii residents, and better than most malihini (new arrivals/foriegn to).No doubt, Hawaiian’s easiest language for English speakers to learn on earth! Kalohe! Moloka’i wont put up with re zoning for resort on Moloka’i. Hawaii’s history with pandemics is storied, tragic, prolific, so it makes sense if COVID19 piqued interest in pandemic subjects which eventually lead to this.

When driving back from a trip to the east end of the island, I braked to avoid a chicken crossing the road near a rural house. The guy sitting on the porch waved, I called out, "Hey, I didn't want to hit your bird," and he laughed, "Oh, they're just Molokai speed bumps!" Kalaupapa was such a sad yet beautiful place to visit. I can't imagine the heartbreak of those sent into exile there.
