      I'm a hawaiian from oahu this is vague and leaves out important things like kahoolawe had alot more people on it than one white farmer it had community's of Hawaiians that was forced out of sacred island the whole island was like a shrine for the navy to bomb it and break it's water table that's why no one can live there it can't hold water if u gonna talk about hawaii don't leave out the real history alot of land was taken in ww2 and was not giving back to the right people

    Before doing a video with a foreign language, learning how to pronounce the names and displaying them correctly would be advised.

      Dude sounds like a Kiwi. He may be mispronouncing ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi by using the Te Reo Māori pronunciation (There are many similarites between the two languages, especially when one is a non native, non fluent speaker of either)
      As a hawaii resident, I've been told I tend to screw up and mispronounce Te Reo Māori words by saying them as if they are ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi. (Which I have some familiarity with even though I don't actually speak ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi fluently)

      @@natetruth6828 The people is kanaka maoli the term Hawaiian is a creature of legislation by HM Kamehameha III. It applies to foreigners that make these islands and the kingdom their home. That’s why he created the Hawaiian kingdom, the oldest and most ancient kingdoms are Kingdom of Atooi (kauai) Kingdom of Maui Kingdom of Oahu the big island known as Hawaii Island becomes the youngest kingdom created by Kamehameha III. The richest ancient history has never been introduced in a way that connects these peoples to the first people of earth Honua. The story of Adam and Eve took place on the Garden Island Atooi. The first couple are known to the Polynesians as Atamu and Hawa. Interesting parallel between the oldest language of Maoli and the English translation of the account. So we the people of Hawaiti and the Polynesian triangle are rising. The foretold prophecies that are being fulfilled that these islands will bring the world into the 1000 years of peace.

    I have been to Niihau because my friend was from the Robinson family. Supplies were sent to Niihau by the Robinson family. Some students came to Kauai to learn at the high school I attended. In my senior year, I tutored four Hawaiian guys from Niihau. The women collect special shells from that island and sell it on Kauai. They are very small and rare shells.
    I was fortunate to have been gifted a necklace from there. Glad it is closed off to tourist.

    Your pronunciation needs work: Mokumanamana is Mo-koo-ma-na-MA-na, Nii-hau is NEE-ee-how, Kahoolawe is Ka-hoo-LA-Vey (in Hawai’in, W is pronounced as V) and Lanaii is La-NA-ee. Also it was King Ka-me-ha-ME-ha (you dropped a syllable.). But your history is solid.

    It doesn't sound like a healthy of living being so isolated from society and current technology on Niihau. Funny people want open borders but advocate for places like these to be isolated from their own country.
