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? Now we need information on A Tu'i & Tu'i Tonga before Hawai'ian Kingom time period. Some of us more related then others. I'm Hapa Kanaka. GENOCIDE is layed to cover up TRUTH. 🤫

Buy land in Ka’u, I own my own acre for just $6K! Instead of paying rent for $2K each month in Kona, OV Acre lots are more affordable. It’s not for everyone and more rural, it’s far from everything and the gas and stuff here is just or more expensive than Oahu but I’m grateful as a kanaka I can actually live in my homeland and not have to be pushed out of paradise. I’m still struggling day to day but it’s worth it because now I’m bulldozing and having the choice on how to design my future home and acre how I want too. It’s in lava zone 2, on the slopes of Mauna Loa and closer to the vent but just like my ancestors, the ancient Native Hawaiians who lived here long ago respectively lived here with the earthquakes, vog, eruptions…It’s a give and take but many local families own their own homes and land here because it’s still affordable and we make do with what we can get while still living in Hawaii. ❤

He said my wife was welcome to move and live in Hawaii, he said I would take some "work". Our trip included staying in a village in upper Maui and on the beach. 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. Thanks for your creative content Peter.

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.

@@yomanleavemealone9815 the Americans had huge plans to colonize the Philippines. The Americans helped the Pinoys fight off the Spaniards and when freedom and independence was promised… America denied them and just tried to replace Spain. 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. It worked for Vietnam and the Taliban. America lost the Vietnam war and the Afghanistan war.

Peter, you were part of the Cali-NY covid influx that drove us out of our beloved Florida home. People from expensive housing out of state housing areas and remote workers making Silicon Valley & NYC salaries flooded in. They were already making good money, but they decided to come to Florida to stretch their ample salaries even more and to ride out the pandemic in sunshine and style. They didn't give two hoots what their influx would do to local housing for hospitality workers. Transplants did stuff like seeing an apartment online and offering $600/month more than the advertised price . For houses, they'd offer to pay cash and $200K more than asking price.

I'm old now, but the one thing I feel fortunate about - I got to see a big portion of the USA, & some of the world as well - before it became inundated with Humans. Before we tipped over the edge of Too Many. Too bad - it was a beautiful world & you can't blame everyone for wanting to see it & also try to get THEIR piece of it. Problem is, the Age of Discovery is over & we are now entering the age of Greed & Destruction & I want MINE , & I want it NOW ! It is too late & no one is interested in doing it equitably. It's just a lust for more.

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.

Hawaii was getting expensive when i was a kid living there. We moved when i was 13. When me and my wife got married in 2012 i took her to Maui (where i was born) for the wedding.

Things had gotten so expensive that we decided to move to Guam instead where the cost of living is MUCH more manageable and less touristy due to being so far away.

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!

The fact that we get free videos on KZfaq 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? 🤷

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.

It is said in our Torah that there is only one God and he created many nations with their own land and cultures and gave them all the ability to discover a connection to the devine in their own way. It makes me so sad when people think that there is only one way to God and they have to convert everyone to their way of thinking. There is so much beauty in all ancient cultures that people have tried to erase. I pray that you are successful in bringing the authentic culture of your ancestors back.

I know an elder in an small apartment (with a south facing front porch and North facing back porch) who is growing blueberries, strawberries, spinach, kale, tomatoes, ginger, potatoes, snap and snow peas, sun flowers, grapes, tomatoes and many herbs; by herself (which she doesn’t recommend doing alone given she has also two large elder dogs she cares for). Others aspire to how the garden looks compared to Martha Stewart magazines or growing flowers just for visual enjoyment whereas she aspires to feed herself and others and pollinators etc. When peter says most people are just barely getting by “taking care of their own back yard” that misses that HOW we do so, what we aspire our yards to be is a big part of the problem (as is extreme resource disparity due to waste and hoarding). Using the principals that “Uncle” is talking about I’ve seen elders create food gardens on apartment patios (takes just the right sort of patio and yet if apartment management would allow food gardens….) and grow microgreens indoors etc. so just IMAGINE what could be done by all the home owners if their values change to be more communal and sustainable. Forget houseplants (it is the soil that actually “Cleans” the air but initially a NASA study either wrongly concluded and was later adjusted and/or people misinterpreted it to think it was the plants themselves that cleaned the air; it was the soil and it takes a lot of soil.
