Mahalo... nice to see some real hawaiians on utube...

[okesaita]

Um, actually the real Hawaiians have no Asian in them.

@okesaita That would be called "Pure Bloods" But so you mean i not Hawaiian cause i not pure? If that's the case FUCK YOU This "Non-Hawaiian" in your terms: Was Born & Raised in KEAUKAHA HOMESTEAD HILO, HAWAII 96720......You can google it.... (;

For those who inquired the chant is called Hulihia ka mauna and you can find the words probably in pele and hiiaka book that you can order from Edith Kanakaole Foundation or maybe hawaii's volcano national park :) thanks

i think the person who commented about "asian people" needs to research migration in Hawaii and the plantation era...this will explain why we asian, no one gets the choice to say whether or not we want to be asian or not. WE ARE NATIVES, because we say we are...its not our fault the UN won't recognize Hawaiians as an indigenous people...

[okesaita]

I'm not American, thank goodness. I'm Samoan, a polynesian.

@okesaita Wow. So it's okay if you to "Invade" but not Asian people? typical American exceptionalist bullshit attitude.

[okesaita]

@jasonapotts Yeah, I know. :(

@okesaita ~ Kanaka Maoli are disappearing because of this. These locals do this to make money not to connect with there ancestors. They are born and raised to do this because this is what tourist pay for. Only people that perform Native American chants/dances on the mainland are Native or at least part....Would be funny to see a bunch of white or black people acting like Natives : )

[jasonapotts]

@momishells ~ Real Hawaiians don't look like Asians lol : )

@Kailoa36 That is correct, Such a beautiful soul.
