just to correct you, in ancient days women weren't allowed to be used for offerings because they were thought to be unpure becuase of their menstrual cycle
@dankeshayne LOL! We can assure you that we DID try to pronounce them correctly... but not being native speakers, it was difficult. Glad you enjoyed it anyway!
hawaiian96chence...you made me smile!!! No I am a proud African...what we share is the spirit that lives in the blood..and the blood never forgets. Stay strong proud Hawaiian!!
As a Hawaiian i don't care if haoles believe my culture, traditions, ect. but i ask that you respect it.As i would respect your beliefs.Thank you for showing an interest in my culture.I hate when haoles think Hawaii is just about Hula,luau's,Aloha shirts,and welcoming natives.I like how you refered to Hawaiians on Kaui "Kauiians" a lot of people don't know each island had thier own name for the natives living there.A lot of people need to know why we're called Hawaiians ha.
So, the two men that were turned to stone were homosexuals? "Being more interested in each other?" That's really cool. Too bad they got turned to stone.
From a woman of African Descent.....I give honor to the ancient ones of Hawaii...and to the Hawaiian People...continue to protect and preserve your culture
i do appreciate it when people make videos like this out of love of the culture and with respect.. so thank u. too bad we have to worry about the other kind of people ruining things for others. it wasnt the intention of the filmaker to share knowledge of where to find these things.
Thanks for writing and for the feedback. We couldn't agree with you more about the toll tourism often takes on historic sites. And Kauai is very dear to the whole team! We do want to emphasize, however, that all the sites mentioned in this film are open to the public and easily accessible so we weren't disclosing any secrets there. The one exception was the Malae Heiau, which we didn't show nor identify where the road to it lies. Thanks again!
youre very right and i didnt mean to come off rude. hawaiians are naturally overprotective of our culture as im sure u know... and for me, anytime a non hawaiian shows genuine interest in our culture as you have i really appreciate it. most people who arent hawaiian only care about the cliche waikiki or maui tourist experience, u know... waikiki beach, scuba dives, pictures with parrots (like we even have parrots in hawaii lol). real interest in a culture is the hugest compliment u can give.
@547torturechamber No need to apologize. We didn't take it as rude. And we agree with you. We do what we do because we are as a group very interested in culture, history, mythology etc. of all of humanity. And it should be protected! And as I wrote earlier, Kauai is particularly meaningful to us. Thanks again for your comments!
its me kuualoha, sorry used comment quota had to change handles. just wanted to say i appreciate the video and hearing the stories but in hawai'i we have a problem with tourist breaking petroglyphs in a attempt to chissle them down so they can sell them online (ebay has banned it now supposedly).. most petroglyphs get ruined in the attempt and they scarce enough without ppl breaking them for money. tourists have no respect. this video is telling those kinds of people exactly where to look.
It's a wonder why many of the ghost hunters today don't go to Hawaii... Even the shows they have on Travel Channel, or SciFi... there are so many legends on the islands, and so many personal experiences...
We agree! Hawaii does appear to be sadly under-represented when it comes to the huge number of ghost-hunting shows on TV. We also don't have a good answer for why...
Oh, yeah... on O'ahu they say if you go down the old pali road with pork, the demigod Kamapua'a will stall your car until you toss it outside over the cliff... but then, this would be kind of hard considering the old Pali road is covered with tall grass, and weeds now... they don't let anyone on the road anymore.
MsUnlikely: its not Kamapua'a that stalls your car, its pele. they were lovers and broke up and agrees to not be around each other. stalling the car with pork is peles way of stopping kamapua'a in any form from entering "her side" of the island. kamapua'a was said to be half man, half pig but actually he was a shapeshifter and could take other forms other then pigs and in some stories is said to be very good looking in human form.
Thanks, Slegtrooper! The islands have plenty of ghost stories, but you are right in that most non-natives probably haven't heard them. Since Hawaii is our "home base," we may eventually have more on the islands and their legends. Thanks for watching!
where are those warriors that attack you if you have food in your car or w.e
i was told the story a while back when i worked on the pride of america cruise ship... said that thier car was rocked and that they say that they were driving at 40mph and the car just stoped instantly and there was a indented hand print in the hood.
i called my friend and he said it was the nigh warriors... what i left out is that when the car stoped they reclined thier seats and burried thier faces into pillow back seats cos they heard them aroudn the car
he said something about pork or something... they went looking fro them and i guess.
ive yet to see proof of them via pictures or video
Could your friend be referring to "night warriors," a term that is often used to mean "night marchers?" Many of these ghost are thought to be ancient warriors. If you meet one, you should play dead and not look them in the eye, which may be why your friends reclined their seats & covered their faces? Pork is a traditional Hawaiian food, but there are legends that you shouldn't carry it in a car. We don't know of any pics of them either, but plenty of stories out there! Hope this helps!
Marcus4president: youre friends incorrect. Night marchers wont stop your car for having food inside it, theyre sole duty in life and death now was to protect ali'i and fight for them also. they travel the earth still doing what they pledged to do in life.
Marcus4president: what u wrote is a combination of 2 stories. night marchers and the pali on oahu. night marchers: u cannot look at them or they take your soul/u die. thats why they buried their faces into pillows. night marchers were guards of ali'i (royalty) and in ancient times commoners werent allowed to look at ali'i or let ali'i shadow fall on them or stand taller then ali'i (hense ur friends putting their seats back) doing any of these things resulted in your death.
OutcastEarth: non-natives not hearing the stories is probably because hawaiians had no written language only verbal and so stories were passed down through generations verbally so that hawaiians would remember them and pass it on and so forth. if you werent hawaiian then you wouldnt have ohana passing stories down to you. now that we have a written language we do publish them so to not lose them. plus i think when its your culture youre, more interested in hearing and learning about them.
