    It is hard to feel like this is a credible resource video when they can't even pronounce commonly known Hawaiian words or take the time to look up the pronunciations before publishing! I find it very disrespectful to the Hawaiian people and the 'aina.

Like, is it really that big of a deal? Can people not just bite their tongues and keep watching without the need to completely discredit the entire video? So yea, I stand by my prior comment. Plus in video production the voice overs are usually outsourced, so whatever, not really anything that even deserves much more of either of our times to debate(?) on, wouldn't ya say?

      One of the Japanese residents of Ni'ihau viewed it as "go time" and threw in with the pilot. This display of racial solidarity may have in part convinced DC the internment camps were necessary. However, the biggest crime was DC scheming to force the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor by cutting off fuel supplies to Japan. Roosevelt and his highly-jewish cabinet wanted to fight Germany (Japan's ally), but US public was quite against getting involved in the war. Pearl Harbor would change their minds....shades of the October Hamas attack on Israel....a green flag.

    This was the best hardest to watch video. It is very interesting but you lose all credibility when you can't even pronounce the basics of this video. Please be a little more culturally sensitive when making awesome videos, and your viewership will grow exponentially. Two biggest blunders: Kauai and Kamehameha.

      its a different language written in another language which has different pronunciation, it is pretty easy to not know how to say these, especially if you are not even A native english speaker. Nor is it disrespectful to pronounce them that way, im from mass and you think I get offended when people cant pronounce Worcester XD I don't give a damn cuz its not that deep.

    back in 1995 I was able to fly to Ni‘ihau with this helicopter for a few hours. with biggest respect to the story. I planed my holiday travelings along all the hawaiian islands around the date of this trip. we had to be for passengers befor flight was confirmed. then, one day before this from me long awaited flight, the other couple cancelled their reservatuon due to a familiy problem. I was lucky a Kauai woman actually from Ni’ihau and her boy flew with us. It was a really unforgettable day. David the pilot showed us a school of sharks and a monk seal very near to us. while he was fishing, I spoke a little hwaiian words to the Kaua’i woman. we got friends while they collected the famous Ni‘ihsu shells, we met her later in Kau‘i to receive her handmade ni’ihau shell lei and earrings. I still have them today 2023! mahalo nui

    Kauai = ka-why- ē. Niihau = nē-ē-how
    King Kameamea = kă-m’ā-ăh-mā-ă. All vowels are pronounced one way, every syllable is pronounced. It’s really quite easy.
