  • hawaiian's (meaning citizens of hawaii) come in all skin tones and ethnic origins from around the world.

  • What BS! Dis malahini haole can grab it off a tv and post the junk copy on here and thats ok? atleast he could have freakin bought a ticket and gone to the festival!!!

  • what??? i guess you haven't watched some of my other videos and it's my artistic license to use tools of media as i see fit. kanaka maoli here born and raised; and so what if i didn't go to it; did u buy the dvd? did you come to hawaii? oh can you afford to live here? nah b salty; aloha =)

  • the comments are supposed to be on the VIDEO..yikes...im not from the islands, but was married to a local and my kids are part hawaiian, or "hapa" and i really think the embracing of the culture comes from the inside.

  • Bloodlines and bickering aside~ I loved watching

    these guys dance and sing (chant?) It was really cool!

  • Is that an african dude doing hula?? must say he's good!!!

  • which year is this?

  • this kahiko was MEEEEEEAN!!

    :D good job fellahz!

  • I'm so gonna watch one of these festivals in person :) wouldn't mind getting some personal lessons either ;) haha very well done!! I find guys quite sexy doing this kind of stuff despite the costumes i think they're hot!!!

  • actually i think haole really means "no breath"; its a racial slur in some minds that's true, but I love Hawaii too much to let that bother me. the truth is the missionaries from Boston DID steal most of the Islands and my mom's family was a part of that. I can understand the anger and I might feel the same way if I was a Hawaiian by birth.

  • ...I know that 'haole' traditionally means 'outsider', but it is also a racial slur. I don't think that you want to be calling yourself a haole.

  • māka'i is policeman. i think you meant maikaʻi... =)

  • Good kane kahiko is pretty hard to beat. Mahalo for posting. I was there in person, and I have the DVD, but it's still great fun to watch a quick shot here on YouTube. Mahalo nui loa!!

  • maka'i, maka'i, wonderful performance!!
