I'm proud to be Marshallese!
We Marshallese the first navigator but the sound track makes the video unreal
Great video, thanks for sharing!!!
thank you for posting this I'm from that very island Likiep.
There's no place like home!
Beautiful! Just beautiful!
I would like to have lived here back then
Alofas to our pasifika islanders
i definitely will visit there someday
We lost our navigation 40 years ago 😭. Can't believe it. Some of our ancestors didn't want to pass down how to sailing navigation.
Alson Kelen used traditional Marshallese skills to navigate from Majuro to Aur a few years ago.

He probably knew just the bit of it. The last person I knew he had a full knowledge of it was Captain Billimon from Ujea. 99% all Marshallese know him. That was the last Navigator.
@@ri-jaluit1672 Alson Kelen runs the Waan Aelon en Majol canoe building program. He is KBE. Are you in the RMI still?
@@BONNYB820
Ijañin roñ kon Alson AK AOLEP ri majol jela won in Captain Billimon. Ña pure ri majol. Born and raise.
@@ri-jaluit1672 Highly doubt you’re “pure” there’s no such thing as purity in Oceania.There are few remaining navigators and boat builders left who worked with scientists to preserve the sacred knowledge.Amongst them was Korent joel.The tradition has been revived.Below are all the techniques our ancestors used to navigate across the vast ocean.

“The United States is taking it’s guardianship of the Marshall Islands seriously” I think we all know how that turned out...
Unfortunately , Yes.
Thousands of American Marines died and were wounded freeing the Marshall Islands from the Japanese. I haven't kept up with the history of the Islands since the war.
@@Dr.Pepper001 that wasn't intentional though, if you'd really think about it.
@@Dr.Pepper001 freed to be imprisoned again. At least during the Japanese era Marshallese still could live independently and traditionally… Americans came and changed all that… Marshallese now depend on the U.S for survival… and that is what the U.S had planned from the get go.
I have personal knowledge that Samoans are the most civilized people on Earth.
Bradley Greenwood I want to see your perspective on your statement. Very interesting tbh
I thought it was the Greeks,Egyptians,Babylonians,Chinese,Hindus,etc 🤔
Sounds like something a Samoan would say...hmm.
Home sweet home...RMI🌴🌅
Home sweet home.
Awesome....what a dream....hj
Micronesia🏝✊
Yeah indeed
why Filipino going around saying that they are islander when we all know they are Asian,,lol
They did not learn geography
If that the case, Indonesia should be islander as well because it's an island country.
only Filipino Americans are confused. Us Filipinos in the Philippines are proud of our Southeast Asian ethnicity.
@@gabrielamalaya5947 Filipinos in the U.S. try very hard to identify with the whites and are just as racist as white and Mexican Americans. I married a Filipina so I know first hand; a wonderful people but terribly neo-colonialist.
I’ve been telling people pacfic islanders consist three main regions Micronesia, Polynesia,Melanesia
god, the background music is annoying af.
Poor turtle
Poor turtle 😂
I`m sure it died of natural causes, unlike the lives lost to radiation sickness.
6:07 mobile phone?
melanesian race from indonesia (asia) MALUKU, PAPUA,and EAST TIMOR
Melenasian primitive and poor race 🤣👎
Fun fact: A sea turtle's heart beats on for 5 days after death.
they HAD civilization
none of what you watched here exists today, everything has been Americanized, just like what happened to Hawaii.
also I feel sad for the poor turtles. 😢
I'm from the cookislands aitutaki it's sad to see.tht. I..7 old traditional wAy gone people want
"like all women"
The christians missionaries were from Hawaii but the church is from mainland USA.
Likatutu.
I use binep , I tutu , me shatutu
That baby could be 30 40 or 50
It would be around 72
They were trim and healthy before the American diet.
34 O you, wise and intelligent of the earth, do not reject what your own children will preach tomorrow to be your judges before God! And he that can understand, let him understand.

This SO NOT Marshallese music.
Randon Jack
Omg yass that’s what I was saying. It was bothering me
NORTH AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER= TURTLE ISLAND
LOL.. filipino are asian not pasific ocean people HAHAHA
Uh.....Both Micro&Polys are Asian through DNA sharing little to no genetics with Melanesians.We're Austronesian.But are by far different than any other Asian groups.Melanesians are a different story.
And the papuans are black and they say so, the Filipinos had or have negritos quit trying to hid the aboriginal link which is the true pacific starting from australia.
Maluku small people 🤣👎
Micronesia, Polynesia, and Indonesia are misnomers from Europeans. Collectively, you're all Austronesians.
you're fucking wrong, where do you came from?
We are indeed Austronesian.Micro&Polys are pretty much Asian decent.But are by far different from other Asians.
Gotta disagree with u
