Maui, Hawaii, is a special place full of stories that have mostly stayed on the Island. Today, we're meeting up with a local who goes below the surface to give us a view into the culture and lifestyle of those living on an Island that is unknown to most of us.

Hey Peter, I'm so glad you are doing the Hawaiian series. I watched a YT vid about a cruise ship that travels within the islands and it talks about the crew. I don't believe there is any historical value to the video, but I was surprised to learn that people would spend the money to cruise inter-island. I was saddened by the fire that hit Lahaina, especially all the historic buildings that were lost. There is new growth on the damaged Banyan Trees, it looks like they will make a complete recovery. I live in MA but have vacationed in HI.

I feel their pain. we have people in this world that could careless about doing the right things in life. Wouldn't it be nice if we the people had a way meaning ''us'' stay in control of these important things in our lives. There's more of us and we as a team should come together to better handle and control our most important things. We have a democrat and a republican party manipulating everything and they are all making more money than they should be. George Soros and others should be stopped!! We know they have a master plan to take all they can leaving the rest of us in the gutter's.

Maybe I'm missing something here. In the last year I've heard nothing but bats#it crazy, far-right conspiracy theories claiming that these rich liberals want to steal the land in hawaii from native Hawaiians. But apparently no one can get around the 99 year land lease agreements. That's the one important detail all these far-right nut jobs seem to leave out.

Filled with exceptional people living lives very different from mine. Peter has encouraged me to start speaking to who I used to think of as strangers, but now think of as characters in my very own video. They're waiting to tell me things I've never even imagined. A few blocks this way, a few miles that way; suddenly, I'm rich enough to travel.

Thanks for visiting Hawaii and exploring past the glitz and glamour. It's a really beautiful place, but there's a lot of sad stories, difficult situations, and heart break sprinkled throughout. Not many bother to look in and really see the real Hawaii.

It is true about listening and looking for the omens or ancestors or amakua. When my boyfriend and I were out fishing between Maui and Lanai, we accidentally hooked a whale, probably on a barnacle. The whale pulled our boat backwards until my boyfriend was able to unhook us. Then the whale spy hopped in front of the boat, checking us out. We bowed in apology. My boyfriend was so overcome, that he proposed to me. I should have figured out that the whale pulled us backwards, and said no. Instead I said yes, thinking of the awesome thing we experienced. The marriage did not work out.

Peter, After watching many of your videos over the years, I now see your purpose. You have been chosen to communicate the needs and initiatives of the grass-roots people of America, for us to come together for the greater good. The billionaires, investors and politicians do not have America’s best interests at heart or in their plans. Keep going my friend.

Hey Peter, just wanted to say I really appreciate the unbiased viewpoint you take into conversations, whether it is politics, religion or social topics. Feel like it’s rare in todays society and people only want to associate with their ‘tribe’. There is no gotcha moments on your channel or trying to belittle someone’s opinions. The way you converse with people allows them to feel comfortable and coherent in articulating themselves. Through your channel I am able to listen to contrasting viewpoints to my own, without feeling like an agenda is being pushed on to me. Keep up the good work 👌👍

Excellent heartfelt episode, Peter! Thanks for sharing Alika with us. I grew up in the Seattle area in the 1950s & 60s. People moved here and changed it. They didn't check which way the bird was flying and they never listened to their ancestors. They only think about the money. My sincere good thoughts and prayers for Hawaii and Hawaiians.

OMG, Peter. Thank you again for covering Maui. I know about the Canadian Retirement Fund and the company Landowner. It’s amazing to think that Maui, surrounded by water, water flowing from the Mountains and upcountry streams plus underground wells on Maui, so much is controlled by those landowners. Much respect for the people of Hawaii and this gentleman with so much wisdom.

@joes8473 Ай бұрын

Wives of lawyers and judges stopped the wells that would give water for Upcounrty, Ulapalakua- Kainio and plantation land below Pukalani; yet live in Wailea by the ocean and have water from West Maui above Wailuku while blocking others! The DLNR uder powerful forces and Water Board conspire to keep land prices high with zoning rules.

I’m always looking to see when new content is posted on your channel and was super excited you’re doing this series on Hawaii and appreciate this episode to show the struggles experienced by the people of Hawaii and the overthrow of the kingdom there. Many people visit Hawaii without appreciating the history. I am happy to hear the legal transfer of land ownership back to Kai’s family that had been taken many years ago and Alika’s passion for encouraging the people there be reliant on the land and less on imports. I look forward to the other videos to come in this series!

Kanaka Maoli Wisdom: "There's too many people who move here but don''t live here. The question is, if there are no Hawaiians, how can this be Hawaii? They just sleep here. Because if you live here, you would then protect this place that you love." As the locals say, 'Flown, not Grown'. Crown Law will always own the land!
