Dang if the translation for Harry Potter was around when I was a youth I could have probably learned 'Ōlelo Hawai'i one time. 😂 that's awesome not only is it great for heritage but is an insanely smart tool for second language learners.

Sooo Kamaka, are you a native speaker or an imergent speaker? Assuming the language was lost your father would be speaking imergent language? Or was it like the people of Ni'ihau (sorry if that's not where Keao was referring) where your father still obtained OG 'Ōlelo Long winded preface to ask... can Kamaka and Keao 'Ōlelo eachother? I mean if Keao speaks the OG.

Jackson five nostrils and copper skin! Real Hawaiian.

Do we have similarities to polynesians also ?? I’m trying hard not to unsubscribe

Not my experience at all growing up in Hawai’i and Cali, everyone was nicer, faker even, once they found out I was part Hawaiian. I’m younger Gen X tho so maybe it was different for younger Millenials.

Great laugh!!! I’m lactose also but can eat Haagen Dasz coffee ice cream. 👏👏👏. I didn’t understand that ‘give me my money’ videos till now. So thanks for the explaination 🤙🏼

Handsome & pretty

Hawaiians being proud of their blood, socially acceptable. A white person saying they are proud of their bloodline... that somehow is racist.

I loved Nani character

But yet my Holy Blood fits in your Hawaiian body and your Hawaiian blood fits in my body bad answer

Giuseppe Maria Garibaldi was the Patriot who united the kingdom of Italy.....today Europeans, Japanese, and Chinese call themselves Hawaiian just because they were born in that land....the true Native is disappearing.....

Funny thing is in Hawaiian history blood meant next to nothing. Everything was communal, even raising children.

I had the wonderful fortune to live for a little over a year on Maui. The Hawaiian people are fantastic. Their stories and culture are so amazing. And generally they were so friendly to a haole like me from the UK.

definitely pumping up the Hawaiian accent here vs. the HGTV show

‘Haole guy’?? What’s that?! Do you even know what ‘haole’ means?!

Jew 101

That’s what I feel about being Jamaican. I’m boring in the US but my parents are Jamaican. I see KZfaq videos of people trying to live in Jamaica and think it’s so cool. I recently got my citizenship

Damn right. I tiered guys speak Hawaiian think they Hawaiian .

All u Hawaiians is cartoons u walk this life and call white man da enemy if wasn't 4 da white man most of u wouldn't have been born thank u white man for bringing immigrants to Hawaii

She so pretty goodnight

Did anything happen on July 31st?

What makes you an American? What makes you French? What makes you Somalian? What makes you Japanese? What makes you Chinese? What makes you Jewish? What makes you Portuguese? What makes you English?

Pliers?😟🤔🤦‍♂️😔

I say I don't know all the time and my dad gets so mad 😂😂😂

Try

Tia married? She still 🔥 wow😊

There’s two kinds of people in this world. HAWAIIANS and those who wish they were. So yes it starts with the “Blood” and goes from there depending upon the individual and where they want to take it. It is an absolute honor to me when other people see me around and they say “ how you Hawaiian”. Be humble and take care of one another..Aloha

Mom is full Hawaiian my dad is German Irish.... I grew up being called haole boy..... Had an older lady tell me where's your mom dumb haole!!! Well when my mom showed up all the lady could say was I'm sorry aunty I never know! As my mom smacked the hell out of her

You ack like we got da best food same old stuff there iz no glory in our food no more

Not relevant to the story,but speaking of the malo,i was watching fish at Ke'eku and i witnessed a light skinned person in a malu,barefooted trying to throw net.when he walked back his elemu was all kakio and his feet was shredded.i felt bad for him but i embraced what the kupuna did to feed the ohana.like i said,not relevant.🤙

I feel you sweetie, love your work...

It's easier said than done to "get over" ourselves when us Native Hawaiians make up a whopping 0.4% of the country! I was born and raised on Oahu my whole life. Growing up here, you never saw hawaiians on TV, in popular tv shows, or advertised in windows at shops. You're right. Part of it is an insecurity. But how do you accept your identity growing up when everything around you is telling you your people "don't exist". As you grow in age, you get the wisdom and confidence! But until then growing up, as a child, when you're trying to find a sense of who you are, you just don't see it.

When I went up mainland I told them you don’t want my struggles lol they think it’s paradise but it’s not when you live there.

Just hearing the sound of Pidgin makes me homesick for Hawai'i nei.

I buy 1 or 2 Bottles of that red jelly every time I go there

And then he lead a massive army, killed all the other kings on the other islands and united the islands, after throwing off all the people off the Pali. He conquered the islands and killed tens of thousands of people. Dont forget to tell that part 😉

Yes why do we get rid of the coconut trees. I mean I know it's because if a coconut was to drop on us or specifically a tourist. We in trouble...but just no hang out under one coconut tree!! My grandma's house had about 3 or 4 coconut trees, now no moa nothing. So sad! I hate how things have "progressed". 😢

Is Taiwan Sovereign? Nope. Is Palestine Sovereign? Yes.

Who throws out the POI? Never, lick the bowl, if you have to, but NEVER throw out the poi. My grandpa loved sour poi. I used to day, it bit me back.

Outside of her first sentence the rest of that really had no real coherence they need a longer clip

Shoot! People on the main land have always thought how amazing it would be to be Hawaiian and live there. What we have here is yourhful insecurity. I have type 4a hair and have always been an odd ball. I did all the things as a kid, straightened my hair to match the girls around me. Tried toning down my nerdiness, tomboy(ness) and so on. I just didnt fit in my own skin. Thats the beautiful thing about gettiting older, filling in your own skin and learning to love outselves exactly as we are

Tia still 🔥 ageless beautiful 😊..lessss gooooo

Many of us on the main land have always thought it was cool to be Hawaiian. At least people I know... living in paradise. Hearing how everyone is nice on the island (my 2 cents)

Ppl should really get over themselves. Most of this perception is insecurity based and self imposed.

I had whiplash & was out of work for 6 months or more , i was a PADI recreational diver n went on a shore dive at Pupukea Id been seeing a shiatsu therapist for almost a year , after that dive he told me all the tension in my neck & shoulders was gone and i didn't need deep tissure massage weekly anymore. Maybe diving at 25' for 30 minutes allowed my body to off gas more than nitrogen or maybe more toxins that i just dont know of but my aches and pains were resolved after that. Just thought id share bc surgery is permanent alteration...

I have know this for decades. I think my granddad told me about that when I was a wee little kid.

I don’t know a lot, but what I’ve learned from my island friends and family, it’s the spirit and breath that your aloha lives. The old ones saw the uhane, not the blood.

Here’s an edu. If you look at the old birth certificate, it’s says black not any other culture. 2-what’s the main starch-(rice). What do we do when we enter the house, (take of our footwear), most of the Hawaiian have two race-which is?, etc. and the list goes on and on. So you think about it. 😮

I didn't realise how many parallels there are between the Hawaiian and Irish linguistic situations are. There are a significant number of nonnative speakers who are trying to claim the linguistic heritage from native speakers (with the support of some linguists, even!) while speaking something unintelligible to native speakers. Thank you for this episode.
