    ʻAe kākoʻo! Pono kākou e hoʻomau a paepae ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi! This is Hawaiʻi. We can go to Japan to learn Japanese, we can go to China to learn Chinese, we can go to ANY other native place to learn, love, & perpetuate their native language! But, when people spends thousands of dollars to come and visit our beloved Hawaiʻi nei, to see and experience Hawai'i, the language & culture is an integral role in that experience. Hawaiian people, our language, our culture must be valued in the same regard.

    Hawaiian language is very fun to learn. Lots of double entendre and hidden meaning.
    Hawaiian song lyrics really come to life.

    A rich and informed conversation. It was also great to observe the speakers supporting one another. Great synergy. Too bad the host could not embrace Puakea's entreaty to allow a few minutes to converse ma ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi wale nō (29:30). Why not allow a few minutes to showcase the language for which the show is about?!? Normalization begins when Hawaiian becomes a part of mainstream media and public spaces.

      Americans are so limited by only speaking English. Why should the rest of the world be made to speak English when our schools are dropping foreign language requirements, further handicapping our child when at that age it is so much easier to learn a new language.

    It's in no way a disadvantage to be able to "language switch"- on the contrary, it's an advantage in so many ways. Algerians, for example, can switch easily and effortlessly between Maghrebi Arabic, French and sometimes Berber- or English! as well. I wish more kids could be encouraged in this way.

      In general, most places in the world use multiple languages. As the speakers said, it's really only in the US where people wring their hands and worry that having additional languages for communication is a bad thing..

    Despite Hawaiian language’s fantastic resurgence, it is still a delicate flower that needs to be watered and attended to every day. To quote filmmaker Werner Herzog: "It is a sign of a deeply disturbed civilization where tree-huggers and whale-huggers in their weirdness are acceptable, while no one embraces the last speakers of a language." Thank goodness for treasures like Puakea Nogelmier.

      Good. “Internationally recognized state” is a settler imposed concept. But are the Cherokee native to Oklahoma? They were forcibly moved there from Appalachia - the trail of tears, right? The Cherokee Diaspora made it all the way to Hawai’i (and further)....including one of my great grandmothers (allegedly).

    These panelists have a good head on their shoulders, and they're doing it right. Reclaim the language, and you'll reclaim the culture.

    My German grandmother would not teach her children German due to the horrors of WWII - she wanted to be American. She learned to speak English @ the age of 15, when she arrived by ship.
    My mother & I took years of German because it is part of our heritage.

    funny Americans feel threatened as Hawaiian growing using their native Hawaiian language. In our country Indonesia our people using more than 200 languages. when we meet other tribal language users we surely using Indonesia Language. but when we noticed people using tribal language same as us, we will talk in the tribal language. no problem with that. even further, the tribal languages are studied in elementary to high school.

    The best way to promote the Hawaiian language is to mandate its teaching in all public schools in the State. Make it a graduation requirement to speak, read, write essays, etc. for all kids, local, mixed race and haoles alike. In 20 years it will be fully normalized and you’ll see a real resurgence. Decorative use is just window dressing, it will have no effect.

Due to that fact all of our family lost our in speaking our mother language. It's a real lost for all of us. Aileen
