Hey Peter, I'm so glad you are doing the Hawaiian series. I watched a YT vid about a cruise ship that travels within the islands and it talks about the crew. I don't believe there is any historical value to the video, but I was surprised to learn that people would spend the money to cruise inter-island. I was saddened by the fire that hit Lahaina, especially all the historic buildings that were lost. There is new growth on the damaged Banyan Trees, it looks like they will make a complete recovery. I live in MA but have vacationed in HI.
I always felt Hawaii was special in this world. Like really special !! Thank you Peter for all that you do !!
Aloha Peter 🤙🏽 Thank you for your kindness and love and curiosity in this big beautiful world of ours 🤗 Your the best!! Looking forward to watching ✌🏽♥️☺️
I feel their pain. we have people in this world that could careless about doing the right things in life. Wouldn't it be nice if we the people had a way meaning ''us'' stay in control of these important things in our lives. There's more of us and we as a team should come together to better handle and control our most important things. We have a democrat and a republican party manipulating everything and they are all making more money than they should be. George Soros and others should be stopped!! We know they have a master plan to take all they can leaving the rest of us in the gutter's.
Maybe I'm missing something here. In the last year I've heard nothing but bats#it crazy, far-right conspiracy theories claiming that these rich liberals want to steal the land in hawaii from native Hawaiians. But apparently no one can get around the 99 year land lease agreements. That's the one important detail all these far-right nut jobs seem to leave out.
I love this guy’s philosophy, “people move here and try to change it exactly to the place they came from.” A warning of all states. If you move out of your state for better opportunities, leave your old place behind. You moved for a reason, don’t make the reason be you.
As they mentioned, people move there. but those people don't live there.
Also to all the people jumping across the border.
Amen.
Don’t California my Texas. Don’t New York my North Carolina.
Bingo. Come as a question, not as an answer.
Uncle Alika!!!! He was my high school paddling coach, the girls team won 1st place at state championship and they shaved his beard. I love this guy forever!! Must protect at all cost
Beautiful 👍
Thank you for sharing!
💝🙏💕
He definitely seems like a genuine nice guy that loves his island and him being a coach I bet he has influenced and helped lots of kids in the past.
Kind hearted, articulate, passionate and athletic. Seems like a great man
So interesting. So ashamed of our government for what they did to your people and Native Americans. Pray you win your fights while moving on in future. ❤
@@brandonmcdaniel930 He is definitely a great Steward of the land. I'm hoping to do the same and give back to my community the way he has.
"If there is no Hawaiians, how can this be Hawaii?" This literally broke my heart. It inevitably made me think of my Puerto Rico, making me reflect on how alike we really are.
I’m a Puerto Rican from Maui. Double conundrum I hear from my family on both islands.
I live on Maui. I am white. My grandchildren are part of the salad. We have Puerto Rican, Chinese, white, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Korean. We all mix up now.
Breaks my heart to think of the people I have come to know over years of visiting Hawaii & Maui, Lahaina specifically.
I'm one of the Hawaiians who doesn't live on the island. My mothers side of the family is from Hanapepe, Kauai. I'd love to go back and really reconnect one day, but it's just too expensive. Thanks for visiting Hawaii and exploring past the glitz and glamour. It's a really beautiful place, but there's a lot of sad stories, difficult situations, and heart break sprinkled throughout. Not many bother to look in and really see the real Hawaii.
Well said. I got the opportunity to live in Kihei, Maui for three years. At the end I really had a great connection with locals and true islanders but was cut short due to lack of work, ‘08 crash and high prices.
I am not Hawaiian by ethnicity, but was born in Honolulu. My parents moved to Chicago (then LA) when I was 1 for cost reasons, even way back then. Eventually we wound up in Vegas, which is called the “9th island” haha, so I guess sort of a connection there 😅
I love these because for those of us who cant afford to travel we get to learn about the people of those places which is important.
That’s very true. And Peter seeks out stories that tourists probably wouldn’t even hear about.
Agree. I always feel more educated.
I'm retired, living on social security, and I had that same feeling of not being able to afford to travel. But watching Peter's videos made me realize that I'm surrounded by interesting people communities I know very little about. A few blocks this way and a few miles that way. Filled with exceptional people living lives very different from mine. Peter has encouraged me to start speaking to who I used to think of as strangers, but now think of as characters in my very own video. They're waiting to tell me things I've never even imagined. A few blocks this way, a few miles that way; suddenly, I'm rich enough to travel.
anybody can travel if one dedicates himself towards that goal.... there are even cases were people travelled without any money.
@@johnair1 You're right, it's all a question of priorities. Personally, I prefer food and shelter.
Though who am I kidding? I live with nine cats and it all goes to cat food and vet bills... 😸😸😸
I don't know how you vet & choose the locals to show you around for all of these videos, but you constantly find fantastic people to show & express what is happening in their neck of the woods!
💯 truth. So so good at finding really good people to give the honest answers.
I love the "salad analogy": each vegetable or fruit (all plants) unique characteristics, but when blended together they become a very flavorful dish. Humans should look at each other that way: we may be unique but when working together we can contribute our special characteristics to produce something great! Another great video. Thank you Peter and Uncle Alika!
Yeah i absolutely loved that. The concept of the melting pot is this old idea of homogenization or assimilation to “American” culture.
The best analogy that I’ve ever heard 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This man has so much wisdom and love for his home.
I love and agree with his teachings too. Trust your intuition ❤❤❤
I swear to God, I live for Saturday mornings. I learn more about the history of these wonderful places, hidden gems - the culture than any book I’ve ever read . Thank you Peter❤
Agree!💯 Loveand enjoy Pete's videos-along with Nick Johnson as well- great insight and info on our country overall from both of them..
- Cup of coffee and check out this weeks videos!!!! 😀
Sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday! I am an armchair traveler and l also love history. This channel was a great find, thank you.
Me, too!
I agree, Peter’s videos are our “Saturday Morning Cartoons”
Yes!
I don't know how you choose your guides, but man, you sure can pick them! I absolutely love every guide or representative of each part of America that you bring us! Every one of your videos shows both Americans and the world the beauty of Americans and the beautiful spirit of the American people regardless of their beliefs, customs, talents, or needs.
Thank you, so much for the wonderful work you do!
I agree. Peter has a great talent for exactly this.
Thanks you! Finding the right people is the hardest part in all of this. And so often it’s you guys the audience who turn me on to the right person.
Yes, I so agree. Peters approach and value for the people and cultures of our vast nation is done so extraordinarily, sharing and being such a "bridge" for all of us. Peter mentions his wife and the depths of editing too, I so appreciate the creative team, golden.
PLEASE lovely man I think its the same in the UK, can you please help us 🙏🥹💙@PeterSantenello
Totally agree!
I love how everywhere Peter goes, people tell him he has been guided there for a reason
Uncle is very wise. I could listen to him all day. I came to Maui 14 years ago and felt the breeze he was talking about.We came back four years later and never left. Aloha!!
Peter,
A big Mahalo for covering & shedding light on our culture with braddah Johnny & Uncle Alika who is Kanaka Maoli. Being born & raised on Maui & now living in CA, this speaks to my heart..Elders like Uncle Alika, help us to want to become better stewards of the land. No matter where you live. This was such a powerful episode. Mahalo nui loa & God bless🙏🏽🤙🏽
Karlin
Blessings. Your uncle Alika is a true recognition of humanity, that life is more than money and fame. Keep your culture high - From Norway
Bruv, just a thought, using your native language to the overwhelming majority that will never learn your language, the point you're trying to make, it gets lost in the sauce.
@@Arthurian.good thing he’s not talking to the majority, eh?
@@Arthurian. The point gets across just fine, you cracked
@@SamRMoyer What majority? Every fuckin place the united states impose upon becomes minority, but dont you forget the entire states was colonised by europeans - make a fit about it
I want to say a big thank you to the unseen heroine behind the scene who stitches this video clips together ( Your beloved wife).
Yes! Thank you-me, too.
THANK YOU NATALYA!
Mahalo ❤ 🔥
Yes. I second that!❤
Aww… I love this! Expressing gratitude for the woman beside the man. ❤ I hope she reads this and knows that she is appreciated just as much as her husband.
Walked into my office this morning to find a Mourning Dove perched on my desk. While it initially jolted me, I knew it to be a good omen for this Monday. An omen of peace. Now here I am listening to this wise man speak on the importance of listening to omens, and I couldn't feel more at peace with how this day is already going. Thank you for bringing such important voices into the light, Peter. The work you do is much respected and appreciated!
It's actually a Mourning Dove, not morning.
@@mabru9816 Wasn't attempting to split hairs. I see you've corrected it in your comment. I'm glad it was a good sign for you.
So glad you got to see her! What a gift. ❤️
It is true about listening and looking for the omens or ancestors or amakua. When my boyfriend and I were out fishing between Maui and Lanai, we accidentally hooked a whale, probably on a barnacle. The whale pulled our boat backwards until my boyfriend was able to unhook us. Then the whale spy hopped in front of the boat, checking us out. We bowed in apology. My boyfriend was so overcome, that he proposed to me. I should have figured out that the whale pulled us backwards, and said no. Instead I said yes, thinking of the awesome thing we experienced. The marriage did not work out.
@@merrywalsh2809 interesting
Born and raised Maui boy, yessah! My beautiful home! Stunning video of the current social and economic climate of Maui in the present day. This captures the insane dichotomy that is happening in our island society. Huge thank you to @PeterSantenello for capturing this and sharing Uncle's teachings with the world.
Peter, you blow the TV networks out of the water with your outstanding videos.
While filming with just a GoPro. Peter is proof that excellent content isn't about the camera.
Under statement 👍
Literally Just a go pro
That is why tv is going to be the past, tv is controlling , here in nz main tv news on all channels even shows will be shut down by end of May they lost millions in revenue like 30 million for 1 channel no one wants to watch tv now it just one sided and guess who bought the rights for nz news and programs yes you tube I'd rather watch peter with all the facts the respect and understanding then a over paid journalist who only wants to tell u things make the place a dump , why go to university in journalism and get told wat to say and do , here u got peter with just a go pro and himself way more informative and respected way above all these well paid so called celebs
The TV networks are always trying to put some narrative to it. Peter asks the questions, then, the great part- he lets them answer. And explain. So you get the real, the whole story. Not half of it. Good job, best stuff on you tube.
I hope and pray that the islanders can get their land back! Thank you Peter!❤️😀🇺🇸🙏
They won't get it back when you have opera involved in this but go go ahead keep praying
Oprah and his gang won't let go.It's terrible what they did to get that land.
Alika and Kai's conversation on land ownership is a real issue out not only just in the South Pacific but here in New Zealand too. The Crown will never give up those lands or give back the lands. It's tragic.
LANDBACK ✊🏼
I could listen to this man talk about the land he loves all day
Peter, I am a golfer and I agree with him. Farming land is far more important than recreation!
The runoff of the chemicals used to maintain the golf courses are making the reef fish poisonous to eat. I wonder what they're doing to the soil itself.
Peter, you get to meet some of the most interesting down to earth people. Goes to show you that the world is filled with great people and not with all the angry, negative people you see on the news and internet. Keep doing what you do because you are gifted!
I’m lucky, and thank you!
I grew up on Maui when there was still sugar and pineapple. Watching this is very nostalgic. Maui will always hold a special piece of my heart.
I LOVE his teachings! Get him a RUclips channel and let's start generating revenue through sharing this knowledge about the people.
Wise man who understands nature must be cared for with respect and love.The earth is not a shopping mall. Every word he spoke was the truth. I appreciated what he said about ancestors. Thank you.
He's lost in his "identity" ... we are all children of God or Satan. Our only freedom is in selecting which path we follow.
If we didnt take it over it would still be backwards. They should thank us
@@kwimms lots of colonists have spoken the same words as you. You are rude
Traditional Culture’s across the world are fading away. Thank you Pete, Mahalo
I could listen to that man talk all day long. His voice is so calm and relaxing!!
Thank you for bringing us here virtually. Everyone on Earth should see this.
I get the feeling that the reason Peter was guided there was to record that beautiful teaching from that beautiful man. I can attest to what he said about gut instinct and guiding. It's true. The more you detox and get back in tune with nature the more you will see.
Alika has such a peaceful soul. I could watch 24 hours of this if it was filmed. Fantastic show again Peter with Fantastic people.
I lived in Hawaii (Maui ) while doing contract work for just under a year. These people are just straight irrational at times. Some of which is goal seems to be destroy any semblance of an economy. I get it, Hawaii was illegally annexed but they seem to want to demolish anything modern and recreated a primitive society Al because they hate the “new world the white man forced in them”.
The conversation with Alika about spirituality is something I’ve never heard in that much specificity before and is genuinely one of the most interesting things I’ve heard on this channel in ages. This is an awesome video. Really looking forward to the rest of this series
Tito Alika! He is a respected man.
And loved by many
Unko was spittin facts about having to be in tune with nature to communicate with our ancestors
What a velvet voice this bloke has, I could fall asleep listening to him tell stories. Must be hard for the traditionalists of the Hawaiian islands ✌️
The geological and environmental diversity of Hawaii is amazing… how you can go from like a desert to pasture to coffee plantations to tropical to evergreens, volcanos, seascapes, coral reefs.
You have to know by now, this is right up there with the best channels on RUclips. The topics, the guests, the production, and your compassion for each area you visit and introduce us to is amazing. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank u Peter for giving a voice to those that the news chooses to ignore!
I am soooo happy you are covering the REAL Hawaii. Thank you Peter!!!
This gentleman is very knowledgeable of the island’s history, culture & traditions. He’s a real aboriginal, a true legend🎉❤
She knows what she's talking about! Respect sistah 🤙🏼
I love those people. I've been to French Polynesia and it's pretty similar. The native people are so friendly and peaceful. Producing your own food is a great project. Hope they will achieve it. They deserve it.
1897 my grandmother came from Greece by ship to Hawaii to work the cane fields, for three years to pay for the ship passage, then moved to san francisco
Greece to Hawaii to San Francisco, lots of living and lots of stories 💜
Cool story bro. You must think that makes you Hawaiian
@@JessStangerr no, I'm a hotrodder, with a 55 Chevy
Why be contentious?@@JessStangerr
Grandparents often have cool stories. My Grandpa was a POW in WW2. Grandma built Ship.
Mahalo Peter, from Sydney, that was fantastic, your host wasn't kidding when he said you are being guided, keep listening to your gut and bringing to light the amazing people you meet and their stories.
Nice to meet you and hear your insight of your Homeland, Alika and Kai. Thx guys for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
That young woman who has that paperwork for all that land please keep copies and keep both in a safe sister! 🤙
Makes me think of that poor fireman’s gun safe. Got burnt to a crisp in the fires. Such a horrible event
Rotflmao she is keeping title to half the Hawaiian Islands in a Wal-Mart suitcase. 😅😅😅 Biden voter....
she's a kook
If she really owns that land, then please explain why you’re leasing it to all of those Haole’s.
If she could have done something by now with a 30 year old court decision, she would have.
Kai @11:50 knows her stuff about solar and wind. Preach on sister!!!
Right. It's a scam.
peter was bewildered and changed the subject lmao
Peter, this is one of my favorite interviews you have done. I loved listening to their thoughts on different subjects. Thank you for letting us learn about the history of the islands.
Could listen to Alika all day…soothing, spiritual, wise, authentic, cautionary, hopeful, aspirational. this was one of your best videos. I pray for the people of Maui that they get their land back in a fair & just way 🙏🏽✊🏽♥️
Prayers for the people of Lahaina ❤ to recover their homes and lives
Alika has Real Wisdom. Blessing to have him as a guide.🤙Na'auao
I love how passionate they are about their history, culture and beliefs!
I'm so grateful for these amazing videos of real world people and problems .
" U mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono " = " The life of the land is preserved in righteousness " .
OMG, Peter. Thank you again for covering Maui. I know about the Canadian Retirement Fund and the company Landowner. It’s amazing to think that Maui, surrounded by water, water flowing from the Mountains and upcountry streams plus underground wells on Maui, so much is controlled by those landowners. Much respect for the people of Hawaii and this gentleman with so much wisdom.
Wives of lawyers and judges stopped the wells that would give water for Upcounrty, Ulapalakua- Kainio and plantation land below Pukalani; yet live in Wailea by the ocean and have water from West Maui above Wailuku while blocking others! The DLNR uder powerful forces and Water Board conspire to keep land prices high with zoning rules.
@@joes8473 Thanks for explaining further. There is so much I still need to learn about this.
I'm wondering if its the same company that bought all the parking meters in Chicago and now the city doesn't get the money from them? (an older video of Peters in Chicago had a guest mention this?)
What a striking episode!
What an honour to receive the Elder's grounded and solid teachings about guidance from the Ancestors through Nature - very resonant. And what a vision to transform the captured land back into sustaining farmland.
Thank you Peter, for being 'out there' and connecting to the People so openly wherever you go - you really listen. And we can all learn so much by tuning in.
I learned so much from both of these individuals. Thank you both for sharing. Also, thanks to the Japanese people who are preserving your land.
I’m always looking to see when new content is posted on your channel and was super excited you’re doing this series on Hawaii and appreciate this episode to show the struggles experienced by the people of Hawaii and the overthrow of the kingdom there. Many people visit Hawaii without appreciating the history. I am happy to hear the legal transfer of land ownership back to Kai’s family that had been taken many years ago and Alika’s passion for encouraging the people there be reliant on the land and less on imports. I look forward to the other videos to come in this series!
Amazing how you find and speak to such incredible people. 100% kudos to your wife - the editing and music has become the best on RUclips.
the hemp idea is amazing bc hawaii is pretty much 12/12 light everyday ! full flower everyday and full hemp filelds for rope paper siding insulation.
I agree 👍 Hemp has 100s of uses and extremely beneficial to the soil & everyone.
Alika makes so much sense! Love listening to him.
Peter's viewers are the one moving the spiritual progress forward ☝️ Bless you, my dear, all of you 🤗
I just love Alika. Such a passionate, thoughtful and responsible steward for his homeland. He was such a wonderful host with so much wisdom.
Thank you, Alika for sharing your homeland and history with us!
❤🔥
I like this guy, stating to make the right decissions for the land, I wish more people thought like him.
Hey Peter, just wanted to say I really appreciate the unbiased viewpoint you take into conversations, whether it is politics, religion or social topics.
Feel like it’s rare in todays society and people only want to associate with their ‘tribe’. There is no gotcha moments on your channel or trying to belittle someone’s opinions.
The way you converse with people allows them to feel comfortable and coherent in articulating themselves.
Through your channel I am able to listen to contrasting viewpoints to my own, without feeling like an agenda is being pushed on to me. Keep up the good work 👌👍
Excellent heartfelt episode, Peter! Thanks for sharing Alika with us. I grew up in the Seattle area in the 1950s & 60s. People moved here and changed it. They didn't check which way the bird was flying and they never listened to their ancestors. They only think about the money. My sincere good thoughts and prayers for Hawaii and Hawaiians.
Peter creates bridges to the world! Thank you Peter for all you do! ❤️ 🌺 🌺 🌴
I LOVE your videos Peter, I learn so much! I can’t travel much due to being in an electric wheelchair 🧑🦼 & ventilator & oxygen ect.. and you allow me to see the world 🌍! Keep it up please 😊
I have been watching your channel since your travel to my wife’s country Kazakhstan 🇰🇿. Nice to see you visiting Maui and showing the other side of the island that the hotels don’t show. Aloha bradda Peter come back soon.
This guy is awesome, so wholesome, wise and humble
She should challenge them, I'd donate to that cause.
She's young and doesn't understand how the world works. Hawaii is no different from the mainland. We're all American and one way or another you will conform.
@@lancegoodthrust546 her lands were invaded and taken by the ultra wealthy as vacation homes, that's worth fighting.
@@lancegoodthrust546 one world goveremnt control us in every country devide an conquer the dumb people. 15m city's
She will be killed off before any serious ground changes just look at the all the free energy inventors through the years. Also solar is caped at by the government at roughly 20 percent efficiency rate they are literally stopping green energy.
@@lancegoodthrust546yea I was very confused when she started talking about the land thing lol
Uncle Alika is a massively respected elder who speaks the truth from all true indigenous peoples heart ❤️ 💯
I LOVE this guy, his perspective, his attitude, everything. More humans should be like him. I give you respect Sir. Peter, as always you bring it. Thank you.🌴👣☀️🌊🌈💖
Peter….I’ve enjoyed your videos for years and I love how you bring us all into wherever you are through just simple heartfelt curiosity and connecting with the people on the ground. That is powerful! Keep it up……you are on to something!!!!!!!
Whatever you do and doing these videos, please don’t go mainstream and for the real people of Hawaii much respect ….❤❤❤❤
Another Winner here!!! This guy showing you around is Incredible. Completely in tune with his own nature and possibly all of ours. I am a Cultural Anthropologist and this is great stuff here. This is right up there with Titus. This guy is a historian and a great guide of Hawaii!
Thank you so much 🙏 My family is in Hawaii and I love everything about the culture, and always love learning more.
The Hawai episodes have made me cry...a lot.... we have lost our precious connections to our inner selves and our precious Nature... ❤ thank u for sharing Peter
Justice for Lahaina!!
Absolute❤😡 Heart broken still.
Kanaka Maoli Wisdom: "There's too many people who move here but don''t live here. The question is, if there are no Hawaiians, how can this be Hawaii? They just sleep here. Because if you live here, you would then protect this place that you love." As the locals say, 'Flown, not Grown'. Crown Law will always own the land!
Not for long. NCSWIC 🤡💉
I have lived here in Maui for 25 years. This man speaks wisdom. Love it. So cool this see this beautiful island from your eyes. I don’t know how you found your contacts for these videos but it is excellent! Great work representing Hawaii the right way. Mahalo nui loa for this gift ❤
The philosophical perspective from this man warms my heart to know that he wants his dream to become a reality and the indigenous people of Hawaii deserve it❤
Excellent information! Good to see local native people fighting for their rights and land, never give up!
Thanks for the inside view of Hawaii.
When you see reportages about Hawaii in TV, they often show only the sunny side .(surfing,sunny beaches etc.)
I like your style of telling stories !
Greetings from old Germany. 🤙
A very wise man. Love listening to him.
Peters videos give me hope in humanity. As always, thank you sir!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hands down, these last two videos were some of my very favorite of your catalog Peter! You are simply the best!! I'm so glad you choose the "Maui" subject matter a important story like so many other stories the Lame stream media just doesn't cover or follow through on. Kudos to you!! Excellent job once again, my friend.
I'm a huge fan of yours Peter ! keep up the good work dude.
Peter and Alika, you're amazing. Giving the keiki a future and a hope. Very palpable! Mahalo nui kakou!
the variety of US cultures is so awesome, thank you Peter for your contribution in documenting it
Peter, After watching many of your videos over the years, I now see your purpose. You have been chosen to communicate the needs and initiatives of the grass-roots people of America, for us to come together for the greater good. The billionaires, investors and politicians do not have America’s best interests at heart or in their plans. Keep going my friend.
Mahalo from former Haoli wahini now back on Mainland. Alina, thank you for spending your day with Peter showing him Hawaiian Sacred Lands & giving him history of THE LAND. Our forefathers Spirit is still alive & well on the Island & I, with all of you, continue to pray for their guidance during “today’s time”. We still own the Fire as we once did.
Haole* Wahine* Alika*
@@RJKANEAO been away long time 😉
Your kidding right
lol typical colonizer “Margie Stephens” can’t spell any Hawaiian words correctly
Former haoli wahini?
Alika used to come into the farm store I worked at in Haiku back in the day. It was always good to see him and talk story.
Peter, you have a talent of finding excellent people to speak with. Alika is inspirational, and genuine words of wisdom he shared with all of us.
Peter, I can’t thank you enough for doing this series. I’m originally from Hilo on the Big Island. I’m Filipino/German but my culture is Hawaii through and through. I still speak pidgin when I am with my family. This video brought up so many feelings inside of me. I look forward to the rest of the series 🤙🏼
nah. You're part of the problem. Too many Filipinos running around claiming to be Hawaiian. You will NEVER be Hawaiian
been up since 8am waiting for you peter
He was 3 minutes late this week..I'm hurt 😂
Watching from Cambodia. Husband and I are retired and travel/ live around the globe. Enjoy your videos.

Thank you to he OG for tsking us on tour, thanks to Peter. I also love the land where i live. It is not having its invasion of people who know nothing about us, they want to change it to where they just escaped. I loved this video.
I enjoyed, and learned from the young woman on this video. They were both well spoken, knowledgeable, and likeable. I'm so glad you were able to meet with them, and let us into their world, and learn a piece of their knowledge.

Maui is so beautiful and the people deserve so much more than what they’ve got now….I just got back from ten days on the island and the heaviness was palpable. Such a cute man sharing his culture and beliefs and way of life w you and all of us. Thank you again for another video. Mahalo 🤙🏼
Loved hearing all this history and info from this gem of an elder, but especially enjoyed getting the island tour through familar roads - in a Toyota pickup, of course. 😂
Spot on about 'clean' energy waste. The landfill is already headed to the max - then with Lahaina....
