I’m African American and agree 100%! 🎯👏🏾

It’s a nightmare

I'm not aware of the American government imprisoning anyone currently. I'm curious to know who is currently imprisoned

I am a black woman who moved to Hawaii 11 years ago and love being adopted by the locals.. It's called hanai and I'm honored and blessed to live pono and aloha🤗😁

Aloha Melinda, Hawaiians have stepped on, used and abused. We are dispossessed of ours lands-plenty land-like our cousins the first people of America. Our culture and language ripped from us but black people got it worst because of the reason you explained. You lost everything but more importantly your genealogy you don’t know where you’re from. Yes Africa, but where? What was your name? Minamina au ia oe ( I lament your situation) aloha🌺

@@rosannalewis3118 you are living my dream sis. I have always wanted to live on one of the islands. I had always been apprehensive though because I didn’t know how we were seen or treated there.

@@vp3970 it is a shame that so much persecution has happened to the indigenous peoples. I admire the natives of Hawaii for not letting them steal away the genealogy and culture and completely stamp it out. It’s hard to not know where you’re from, but it’s not impossible to find the answers. Just a little more work than most and I’m willing to put it in. Thank you for your kind words

It's super important for us to preserve what we can in our geographical location, because our gene pool is so tiny on a worldwide scale, one day all that will be left is the culture... when I think of futuristic fiction, they always have both African and Caucasian people depicted in space exploration, so it makes me imagine our native faces will become so blended in the gene pools more vast and varied.. and although we may be Polynesian, the history of Hawaiʻi's place in Pacific legends and history is extremely important to preserve in more than just text books and internet so our values will live on. Aloha is a true concept of unconditional love on a societal scale, which is a way of living that's become a stark contrast to American lifestyles.

Hi markian hawai looks so fun hope ur having a good time 😁

Looking forward to day 3 😀 so far which has been your favorite of all the families you’ve visited? Also, why?

I love the way you immersed yourself in the culture. I have visited Hawaii for the past two summers. I became intrigued with the history when I saw an upside down flag on a tour boat that I took with Native Hawaiian owners. I knew an upside flag means distress and so I didn’t ask but I began to read and discover the why. My second visit focused more on the Hawaiian people and the culture. The visit was absolutely amazing! The Hawaiian culture is so rich! It is absolutely amazing to witness the love and respect that Hawaiians have for the Ohana and the land. There is nothing like the Aloha spirit. One word….priceless. Keep using your platform to open the minds and heart of people. Mahalo!🌺🌺🌺

@@Sabrina-od4mr Aloha, Sabrina! Mahalo for your kind words but, most importantly, mahalo for being curious and inquisitive about Hawai'i and our culture. A lot of people wouldn't bat an eye if they saw certain signals nor would they ask the questions that you did. No hate to them whatsoever, however, I thank you for you being curious and for taking the steps, effort, and time to learn about our culture. This means the world to me and a lot of the Hawaiians out there. Aloha!

@@morganspencer3762 I must admit I fell in love with Hawaii. The history is so rich and the people are amazing. I am so impressed with their respect for the land. I was on the beach in front of The Royal Hawaiian when I saw a native Hawaiian pick up the trash from others. He is an example of how much Hawaiian people respect the land. I can’t begin to explain all the beautiful experiences I had while visiting Hawaii. I returned to the mainland but Hawaii will forever remain in my heart. I surely wish that the spirit of Aloha could exist everywhere. I am planning another visit in 2024!!!🌺🌺🌺Thanks so much for your words because they help me understand the importance of being a good steward of the land no matter where I travel. Mahalo!!!!🤙🏽

One good thing about the digital age. Recording our extincted languages that one day we can revived. Universities & languages experts went above & beyound here in Australia to record every word of our local native languages & tribal dialects much as possible because it is critically endangered, all official backups are in long-term government storage at our national libraries & other places.

The Hawaiian language has no bad words. Makes it even better

Unfortunately what you're experience has been happening across much of America, maybe not in the same exact way, but the next step after rich people just buying up chunks of a limited resource is the real estate investors, ones that buy because they know they can ask a lot of money for it whether they resell or rent. Unfortunately local governments have made zero move to try and prevent that sort of pricing out. Now I've been blessed that I'm old enough that I grew up in a time before all of that and was wise enough to actually buy a house when the "middle class" could do that sort of thing, but even so the value of my "$80,000" home is now well over $1.5M even though it is the same house is just disgusting in a way.

I would love to see an Alaskan episode as well!

Chapin!

...look up Gavin Menzies books 1434 and others which discussed this in detail and proves that the prehistoric Alaskan land bridge was not the only source of Asian DNA and cultural influence ( like silk making, terraced land agriculture, cultivation of rice, etc.)

Also throughout the Pacific.
