A PLACE IN THE MIDDLE is the true story of a young girl in Hawaiʻi who dreams of leading the boys-only hula group at her school, and a teacher who empowers her through traditional culture.
It just brought tears to my eyes,being a transwoman it connects a lot... Im from India,and im always fascinated by hawaiian culture... Im so proud of these people,, i wish their legacy continues till eternity
In pre-colonial India there was also something like this as well, they were called Hijras. Many pre-colonial cultures had a third gender even Mexico it’s very beautiful and sad at same time that it was washed away by colonizers
I'm a trans man and I keep coming back to this documentary. It brings me comfort
Are you familiar with the muxes of southern Mexico? There are several docs on RUclips.
You're a woman
I’m glad we give that to you. Aloha e ♥️
I’ll always remember discovering the Healing Stones Of Kapaemahu on Waikiki, and their true history recently highlighted at the Bishop Museum. Back then I thought, “wow! A spiritual tradition that INCLUDES the contributions of all including the gender and sexual diverse! How healthy!”
You are mentally ill, and being used by the democrats as just a push to get more voters. Get some help, you definitely need it.
The people who lived before colonizing were the best kind, cultural harmony, no sex discrimination, no gender discrimination, like the best you could expect from people. I always hoped colonizing never happened
Dude, you gonna ignore the slavery and rigid hierarchy that saw people like early Melanesian settlers reduced to serfdom?
If you are born a man then you are a man if you are born a women then you are a women.

@@reasonablyobsessed 😂😂😂
@@manaih5652 there is no proof that any Melanesians were in Hawaii before Tahitian settlers arrived.
IM CRYING THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL WOW THIS 11 YEAR OLD KNOWS AND ACCEPTS THEMSELVES MORE THAN A LOT OF PPL DO THESE DAYS
Kumu Hina, your videos brings me to tears. Mahalo for teaching me who I am! I look forward to the day I can say Mahalo personally. 💞
You spell hawai'i like hawai'i not hawaii
I loved this. I felt like the speech to the children was very moving. I feel like enlightened society would realize that these things are natural. And people that preach that it is against God are ridiculous. If you were quoting the Bible, you need to look again and see the parts that say Judge not lest ye be judged, judgment is mine saith the Lord, do onto others as you would have done unto you. I only quote these things because people who use the Bible as a reason to bash anything not heterosexual use the Bible as a reference. They forget to look at the New Testament where Jesus forgave all our sins and died for every sinner. So regardless of whether a sin was listed in the Old Testament or not it is not our job to judge. We are not gods. We are human. Our only job is to love the people around us. To make this world better than we found it. I hope that each one of us finds somebody in our life that gives us the kindness we need and needs some kindness from us so we can meet our true potential.
This was so powerful to me. I'm Kanaka Maoli, but raised mostly in the continental US. I've always felt a powerful spiritual urge and connection to Hawaii, even though I was very young when I lived there. Recently I learned about Māhū and experienced an awakening in myself. I was taught my whole life that Māhū meant gay, and was a bad thing. But knowing that it means so much more, and that I am the true meaning of Māhū has made my soul so happy. I feel aloha Hawai'i calling to me, and this just made everything so much more meaningful. Mahalo nui iā 'oe
These people are just fine as they are, it's the ones that cannot accept others are the ones that need help
I now understand why I've always been so drawn to this culture. I would always fight it because I felt wrong but...
Female Mahu Male, white porpose equilibrium and harmony with the universe , beautiful thought
Long live māhu!
Damn that speech was so powerful...
Ive never felt so understood and at peace in my life Mahu describes me word for word this was really cool to find out thank you for sharing 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
0:00 Native awaians?
Is this the whole movie, or is it on Netflix?
Isn't nature amazing💖
Different cultures, wow!
How we love one and other
And are proud of it 💙🩵💛❤️🩷🧡💜💞🧡💚❤️❤️🎶
Thank you for watching!
I’m starting to think the Machi/two spirit person was displaced. Once we has wise elders to guide them in their role and place in society. And now they have no wise elders so they are trying to push into society and make a place for themselves. For the first time I think there should be 3 places. The male, the female, and the two spirit/Machi person. Just as males have clear direction on manhood, as do women, we need to have clear direction for these two spirit people as well. It’s better they not take over the women’s class, nor take over the men’s class, but they be acknowledged in their own. According to how the ancients did it and it worked, we should adopt THOSE ways of old. Then masculine men won’t be threatened or offended, and feminine women won’t be offended. But we give them a place in society in the middle ground. This has been lost, so it may be hard to rebuild this. But I think the way it’s being done right now isn’t a balanced way that’s good for society.
I'll be dropping a JoJo Comment here
Let's hope JoJo Fans will invade and successfully annex this comment section
ALOHA🤗
my nonbinary ass is crying.
This has nothing to do with your modern woke political identity. Most of these people are gender non conforming homosexuals. Not straight girls with green hair and piercings yelling “kill all men” and screaming about the patriarchy while faking oppression at a university. These people faced actual oppression while Gen Z woke nonbinaries have don’t nothing but ERASE what transsexuals and gender non conforming people actually are and confuse the public. How dare you try to compare this beautiful ancient tradition to that woke political made up trash.
All you woke people do is scream about colonization when you’ve literally colonized gender non conformity and Transsexuality. 😂 🤦🏻♀️
@@tula1433 bro what the fuck do you think non-binary means
While I respect the Hawaiian culture this video is not necessarily accurate. The Hawaiians had a war culture which is why King Kamehameha seized control of all the islands and killed many to do it. They even have a war God Ku.
You're off topic. This film is primarily about the Māhu & reclaiming culture.
In the Kapu system, the men age apart from the women. Where would the mahu eat? Seems like there wouldn’t be a place for them in ancient Hawai’i. Got some conflicting stories here
💛
Well I guess I’ll stay in the us, just I’ll go to Hawaii
Hawaii is in the United States...
@@winros no it’s not. The USA forcefully took over Hawai’i, and I’m saying this as someone not from there who has done research and learned the accurate history of Hawai’i, As shown in this video. Maybe you need to watch the video again.
Not in my Ohana we believe Kane is Kane Wahine is Wahine no in-between gender... We believe you are who you are from before birth and proud to be.... Not confused on what our gender is.... Kane was to be the best Kane and same for Wahine... 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
colonized mindset
@@kundenduu well even the animals know the difference
Amen
@@shawnkawelo1956animals don't have identity.
@shawnkawelo1956 😂 there are thousands of creatures in the animal world who are Māhu or Transgender. E.g. Lions in Botswana.
I hope you realize how false & limiting your binary only beliefs are. That thinking hurts YOU.
The missionaries did not force their beliefs on the Hawaiians, the chiefs did.
No the Missionaries did.
bs
kpadmirer: It's a complicated story. Read Lost Kingdom.
Laughable & FALSE. Christian missionaries have ravaged rich Indiginous cultures all over the world, including Hawai'i. This is FACT.
SJWs out of control!
Brian Hobbs, explain how they are SJWs? Where was the lie in the video? What our ancestors did to the Native Hawaiians (and practically to EVERYBODY INCLUDING OUR DAMN OWN SELVES) was beyond disgusting and they have every damn right to feel hurt and to be scared for their own and their culture being erased.
And...explain how they’re SJWs? Because they’re proud of their culture?
, ur really calling a culture that's been around for thousands and thousands of years sjw? It's literally just their culture.
