This is a must see recording on some incredible history on the island of Oahu. It may upset some of the indigenous Hawaiians and I don’t blame them. PBS Hawaii is an amazing channel.
What an amazing history behind my childhood playground. Although time and change have covered up the lands, the Mana still stands! Much Mahalo for this time travel.
Aloha John, and mahalo for the information and the lovely video you have created. If I were still in the tour business I would definitely incorporate some of this history into my presentation. Mahalo for the hard work you have done bringing this knowledge to me and others who love these islands. Aloha! Char
Aloha & Bongiorno from Vicenza, Italy. Born and raised in Kalihi, Oahu, attended St.Louis High School in the early 90’s where I became familiar with Cromwells & Blackpoint. Also so refreshing to see Aunty Denby still looking good and healthy. I grew up watching her on the local News. Mahalo 🤙🏽
And, to understand distinct channels in reefs, though in town one cannot tell, under the huge buildings, fresh water from streams tend to prevent coral formation. This is so on coral reefs, though lava flows are the exception, lava flowing making stepp intrusions. Not all surf spots are essentially coral, , as many are easily seen underwater as lava formations. Waikiki, for those of you who walk on it, was an estuary, partly swamp. (i almost never visit videos, as the buildup on west, Makaha side, North Shore areas, physically hurts to see.) ( also remembering the Silver Sword yucca-like plants high on Haleakala slopes, it would be hard to see empty. We kids would walk along roads where guava would be easily picked to refresh ; and the mango trees we would sit in, eating our fill ( never sold then, and ripe in June), then always having to go into water to wash the total body stickiness away.

Educational AF
Oh how wonderful, I was wondering if this was a re-run of the Waikīkī side, mahalo!

Kiawe are native to Ecuador, NOT Hawai'i !
It would be wise to research the who and why they were brought here.
