    About time we mainlanders got to see and here this incredible music. :)
    Say what you will about Disney but now millions of people know there's a hell of a lot more than Don Ho and the Hula to Polynesian music and a rich history and culture that the missionaries tried so hard to kill off.

    • @Smilealot62
      @Smilealot62 6 лет назад +11

      James Penrose Missionaries never killed off our Culture by bringing the Good News of Le Atua. Much of the Pacific Islanders are unashamedly Christian & worship Jesus Christ in our Mother tongue gladly.

      I'm kanaka maoli, i agree polynesia is deeply rich with mele, waiata, `oa, `oli and so on and so forth. I respect my ancestors choice to follow the missionaries. Though not all did... I undauntedly find my church in nature and the land, sky, sea and my kupuna and those that came before... Their journey stirs inside of me and I am here because of them... awaken your spirit and honor your gifts then you honor your kupuna - we are in the renaissance of the ways of our ancestors...
