    I just watched this PBS program for a second time. It's been a year and a half since my wife and I moved here. Over that period of time Molokai grew on us. Mike, the bartender from Paddlers came to our table one day at lunch time to welcome my wife and me to the island. (He noticed I, too, was a veteran when he saw my credit card.) I've a message for Mike: You and every other person I've met or had any contact with of any kind, have all made living on Molokai as close to Heaven as one can get. Here on Molokai we are all one big Ohana. You folks truly are special. So, too, is Molokai. Thank you all very much for this wonderful program. Aloha & Mahalo! Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai.

    I live in Michigan, but visited the Big Island a couple years ago and loved every bit of it. Molokai is facinating as well. I have watched many RUclips videos about moving to Hawaii, and done lots of reading. I doubt I could really ever pull it off, but my dream would be to move there, or maybe the "happy medium" would be to spend a couple months there during the winter when we retire. I know the cost of living is high, but here in Michigan, we also spend a lot to heat our homes in the winter and maintenance on our vehicles (OMG, the potholes in Michigan due to freeze & thaw, as well as years of neglect are horrible), so I wonder if it may even out a bit, at least in the winter. Anyone w/ experience as a "snowbird" (what we call those who go to a warmer climate, usually Florida, in the winter)?

      You can pull it off, as a fellow Michigander myself, I made it out to Oahu 2007-2011 and am moving back in March. I'm ready to go experience and learn from the other islands, especially Molokai'I. I heard somebody say that they realized one day that he could be a plumber in New Jersey or a plumber in Hawaii, he chose Maui! Good, reliable and nice workers will do well on the islands in my experience. I say go for it!

    Well I was in love then you mention Monsanto! Just like in days of old slave traders would cast trinkets and shiny things that appear to have value on the shore. The "NIEVE" unsuspecting natives would run out to take them. They would then be caught in a net and takin into slavery! That's what's happening here! So sad!

    Lara, thank you for announcing moloka'i the proper way, im sure the kupuna are happy to hear you say moloka'i correctly, i don't hold anything against your native guest because they were raised specking english, just saying the name of the island the way they say it is change to much that i don't think they realize.

    • @zxyatiywariii8
      @zxyatiywariii8 2 года назад

      Almost I think it's a family difference? Because you can hear people who live on Moloka'i/Molokai saying it both ways. . . I'm Tahitian and our language is a close cousin to Hawaiian, and I've seen this for all my life, where my 'ohana has one way to say, and someone else's 'ohana has a different way. . . 🤷🏾‍♀️

      Soo how is it determined as to what is the correct way to spell and pronounce it? I realize the rule about the okina, it makes all the difference, but without bias or influence what is the correct way? I only ask because I am from Moloka'i and growing up I have heard it said both ways, but what is the correct way and from where is your information from? I am eager to learn.

    “If the economy crumbles we would be fine.” Sure, because the US government is heavily subsidizing your well being via food stamps and welfare. That’s not the self-sufficiency the residents seem to want to seek. The resistance to tourism is mind boggling to me. Tourism is not forcing anyone to change their culture, but rather allowing you to share it with them while earning income providing goods and services.
    “Students” do not pay exorbitant sums for experiences, tourists do. If that student model worked you’d see it everywhere. Their best bet is embracing environmentally friendly developers and welcoming high end tourism. Similar to the model the Galapagos have developed. You can chase all the hotels and investors out of town but all you’re doing is chasing away jobs and opportunities. With those come happiness and less people turn to drugs.

    • @NuEyedeas

      That's because all the Hawaiian lands were appropriated into white hands. They took away the Hawaiians ability to sustain themselves, and then offered them slave wage jobs in the service industries. Give Kanaka back the land and the haoles going lose their slaves.

    “As a resident of the state of Hawaii do you believe we are an island state or a state of islands?” asked by Billy Kinoi (he should know better than to ask one stupid question like that to Kanaka oiwi!!!)
    A “resident” (anyone who lives on any island and NOT KANAKA OIWI) would answer the question as posed. BUT if the question was posed specifically (as in this video) to a Kanaka oiwi, then the answer should be, “we are neither!”

    It's fine to keep things the way you want them, but you shouldn't expect others to pay for it via welfare payments and infrastructure maintenance. I know this is an old video, but it seems that you want to eat your cake and have it too. The rest of the world has to choose, so why shouldn't Moloka'i.
