My grandmother comes from Ni'ihau. My family has been on ni'ihau since before the sinclair purchase. Last time i visited hawai'i many aunties, uncles and cousins from ni'ihau came to kuai'i to my grandmother funeral, the spreading of the ashes on the ocean. was a memorable moment. Will never forget. I wish to thank the robinsons
I am 12 years old. Raised with respect. I take care of the land, and make sure others do to. I am not greedy or selfish and the Hawaiian culture inspires me. It’s so different and unique like the Polynesian culture. I have been wanting to live in Hawaii now on the Garden Isle. I hope people are not mad because I’m a main lander. I heard that people are all “locals only”
@@davidwestwater2219 the locals are the one's with the hate in their hearts and Pele comes again to burn sacred landmarks. This time her lover Lohi'au walks hand in hand, fire and water, to teach the natives not to bite the hands that feed them. They must take heed, there will be no more warnings.
This is one of the few places on earth where the people and land have been untouched by modern civilization. The result? One of the most pristine and cleanest islands on the planet. The people who come from here are just as beautiful, I swear to god if you were to meet a real Hawaiian from this island you would feel their presence immediately. It is powerful and beautiful, you can tell they grew up with respect.
Niihau's residents live in fairly standard wooden houses and have vehicles on the island along with some other modern conveniences, so it's not untouched quite like, say, North Sentinal island in the Indian Ocean.
Thank you for showing the island in pictures and telling history. The closest I have been and didn't think about it was vacationing in Kawai'i and I still consider the massive sea and savor the memory of how green Kawai'i was and treasure that time with people I loved. Thank you
Liz Kauai I hear ya Liz! Lori Robinson, Keith's sister is a dear old friend and to this day , I still get goose bumps when I hear her retell that story...the family was also offered Waikiki area but it was totally flooded that year...
100s of tourist visit that Rock for snorkeling so they have opened up in away to outsiders but they are very monitored to stay within a certain area and to protect from damage to the reef
How about sending a Hawaiian cleaning crew to pick up the plastic. Maybe as part of a high school or college program . Beach cleanups are part of California's Earth Day kuleana. Why not Hawaii? I know they are trying to keep it Hawaiian, but I know they can use the help.
I sailed past it on it CG cutter in the last 70s. I learned about the island then. I decided then and there I would respect the Robinson's wishes that it be inhabited by native Hawaiians only. And have done so since.
They should put a green style recycling plant on the edge of the island to put all the garbage washing up. They could use the materials to build up the island.
I believe the negative votes are due to your complete lack of acknowledgment to the Robinson's dedication to the preservation of the island. They could have easily sold out and developed your so called vacation culture, but instead they lost millions of dollars trying to honor the original agreement of the land purchase. If you are a native, you have a guaranteed job from them if you choose to accept it; as well as free housing and meat.
Mahalo for taking the time making and posting this. But out of all the Hawaiian names you may mispronounce or incorrectly spell, "Kamehameha" should not be one of them. Mahalo again.
The island is NOT "Forbidden", it is Totally Privately Owned, big difference. Just like you have the right to keep people out of your back or front yard since it too is privately owned, the owner of Niihau also has the same rights on their private property.......
If you are an island native, which I highly doubt based upon your cross-language usage in this and previous posts, the meat that you are "getting" is provided to you by the Robinsons regardless of whether you hunted it or not.
it sure would be nice if some groups could be organized on a regular basis to clean up all that trash. its so sad to see the effect of modern humanity on this planet, especially when it is degrading an otherwise rather pristine island.
this is the largest private island that is in US territory i can only how many billions they could sell it for. goes to show the family has deep connection to the island.
Nice pictures and commentary - although I hope in future videos, if Alan make more of Hawaii, that he would pronounce Hawaiian names more properly. The W in Hawaiian, if in the middle of a word, is always pronounced as a V, not W as it is in English. Thanks for the video, all who had a part in it.
The pronunciation of the "w" can go either way, even if it's in the middle. Like in "awakea", I think we could all agree that we say it with a "v". Words like "Hawai'i", the "w" is pronounced with both "w" and "v" by different people.
Do you know most of Hawaii islands name are originated from south east Asian and pacific jawi Arabic names . Hawaii = windy islands, Kawai or kauai = the brown island, Honolulu = pearls island huna mean here and lulul means pearls, etc...
+CubanPete1990 Yes, there are quite a few. In fact, last time we visited we spotted Two Tyrannosaurus Rex and a group of THREE, RARE Gullibullasauruses!!
Haha us hawaiians no eat our ppl. Das wut da fish, opihi, he'e (octopus), nd da pigs foa. Lol we survive thru da aina nd da ocean. We take care of da aina (land) nd da ocean nd in return da land nd ocean take care us.
lol no the Hawaiians in makaha don't take care of the aina the young kids throw there trash everywhere and have trash in they yards etc. I cannot stand Waianae people they are trashy and don't malama the aina like us on big island
what do you have to be angry about? What has angered you so much that you pick fights online? Do you realized that you are a perfect example of how the purity of the Aloha spirit is being destroyed by petty land ownership arguments? Let the anger go, you can not win any battle by simple bitching about what has happened. Turn the other cheek and rebuild the world so say you love and vowel to be a better person.
Perfect, the Hawaiian Aloha spirit ‼️ I lived in Hawaii 1968-1989. I learned so much from the locals. Kind, friendly and full of the Hawaiian love‼️ The best experience of my life and I still live Aloha at 74. Mahalo 🤙
It was also money paid to someone who had no right to sell the island out from under the feet of its inhabitants. A clash of cultures in which the Hawaiians were disgracefully deprived of their rights.
LoveCeea Cee hello, I visited a few islands 30 years ago, had on travel experience, what was striking me was most Of The beach shores where private, no access possible. I found it sad not to see what was behind all those houses and fences.
It’s trash that drifted there.. they didn’t throw it there.. n they probably do clean it.. on big island there is so much trash from the ocean.. ppl clean it n it still gets drifted trash coming on shore
Page 9 Niihau is a private island, owned by a Scotch- descended family by the name of Robinson, who, it is reported, smilingly come down to the water to greet uninvited guests and suggest that they leave.
All the islands belong to the original blood descendants of the islandz. Easy for houlie to take over and claim caretaking and vacation culture while indigenous peepl live in poverty everywhere they arrived
This video is just photo pictures. I didn't watch the whole thing cuz it's boring. How did you "legally" land on the island, other than the fact you just happened to have alot of money to rent or have a helicopter to go places?
I've been setting aside some money. How much for the whole chain? Maybe the US should sell it all to China. The British got NZ and Oz, etc. French got Tahiti, blah blah blah, Japan took over from the native Ainu, same story pretty much everywhere.

The upside is for natives is indoctrination, dogma, pigeon english (cuz who wants to sound white and educated) and a lifetime of practicing victimology.

Lots of misinformation here. The law is 100% clear. There are no private islands that can prohibit beach access. Period. From the State Laws (Hawaii): The public has a right of access along the beaches and shorelines in the State situated below the "upper reaches of the wash of the waves." (HRS §§ 115-4, 115-5, Revised 2010). So Niihau is not "forbidden".

Great island, lets keep it that way, no intrusion from us here on the rest of the Hawaiian Islands.
just booked my timeshare week at Marriott Beach Club Niihau for April 🤩
Thanks for your comment. Don't know about groups to clean beaches on Niihau. If I hear of any, I' ll post.
Send the cleaning crew to Midway Atoll where the albatross are dying in droves from plastic garbage.
