I grew up in Pa'auilo and lived a very similar life on the sugar plantation. So this story was a nostalgic moment for me. Thank you for telling this story and keeping the memory of the sugar plantation days alive.
I grew up in Kohala. Our family goes back a few generations. I love Kohala. Growing up as a kid, we knew everyone in the town and everyone knew us. They supported sports and community activities. There’s something really special about Kohala. I live in Utah now with my family but we go back home a few times a year. I remember all of these Kupuna’s . I always wanted to hear stories from the old timers. I do know that Family Search has a thing where you can record stories and share about your life for you to share with your families when you pas on to the next life. I think all should do this to preserve the stories and give us a chance to know our families
I’m from Oahu but have always felt drawn to Kohala. I have no idea why, but I have a recurring dream where I’m diving in a place that I know is Kohala. It’s a rugged coastline and beautiful, deep ocean. I feel at home, at peace and complete in my dream. One day I will end up there❤
Beautiful, my great-grandfather came from Kohala and left to Kaneohe, HI where my Ohana settled to this day. Today I visited Kohala for the first time and took my kids. I want to pass on this legacy to them. Mahalo for this inspiration. 🙏🏽
Mahalo nui loa for sharing. I only heard stories about paniolos because my ohana is from Kahua Ranch. It's nice to hear other stories about the history of Kohala.
PBS Hawaii always has great videos. I love this one. I've listened to John Keawe for decades and always enjoyed Hope's hula. I live in Oakland Ca (home of Academy of Hawaiian Arts) and I caught this video on RUclips. Mahalo.
Thank you for doing this. It's important to keep the stories alive, and those who lived in the place and time are the resource. I'm wondering what those who are not familiar with Hawaiian language make of the words we hear every day: Kuleana, Tutu, Ohana, Halau, Kupuna, Mana.
I can't always catch pbs Hawaii content, but I always appreciate their support for the history, community, and local culture.
