The past speaks through the people who lived it. Speaking it is reliving it again. the pleasures of their youth live within them. Thank you for sharing.
**🌺 This was so interesting to watch & listen to. Having grown up in Hawaii also, I can relate to a lot of what their talking about. Thank you for doing this Roland, looking forward to more of them if you make more, which you should. Let's keep our history alive!!
Mahalo plenty for sharing this priceless knowledge shared by these Kupuna. Being grateful for what we have and working hard makes for happy hearts that know how to appreciate the simple joys of life,a true blessing! Mahalo all🌺
Great video! Mahalo, for putting this documentary together. Looking forward, in watching more of your videos. My grandparents, and parent were from Hawi and Kapaau. My grandfather, was the taylor in Kapaau. Sewake, is our family name.
@@RPacheco808 Many years ago, probably before you were born, my uncle used to know everyone, because he was the postmaster in Hawi. Kaku Sakai. He and his family, used to live next door to the Yamasaki family,who were full time fishermen. Great memories for me as a child.
@@RPacheco808 I believe the interviews were taped in the senior center at Kapa'au? My wife and I stay near Kapa'au every other year. I first visited North Kohala when my brother taught in Waimea in the late 1950s and early 1960s. I read Kindy Sproat's book, "A Storyteller's Story", which contained many of the same type of stories, as well as the large book Kohala Aina. Love that part of the Big Island and really enjoyed your documentary!!
Name correction: Because of a miscommunication, "Laura" Caravalho was used instead of her real name which is, Dora Caravalho. YT policy doesn't allow me to upload an edited version of the video which is why this error remains. I apologize for this. The video has been changed and will reflect her proper name moving forward (for viewing on Hawaii public television).
My grandma grew up in Kohala before moving to Puna. KOAE' was her next home then Kapoho beach lots (now gone😢). She's the PUHI OHANA😊❤
My grandfather & dad were born & raised in Kohala. Thank you for this beautiful video ❤
I am happy to know you enjoyed it :)
