The few locals still here grow their own food and live a life that has mostly stayed the same for a century. Join me as we meet up with these interesting characters to learn more about the lifestyle and history of this special place. ► Meet Greg in Halawa Valley: halawavalleymolokai.com/

This just might be your best work ever. I nominate this video for “Best TH-cam Video of 2024.
🥰🙏👍🌿🧎
You are the best. God bless and be safe
Wow! Such a moral people, bullshit. Where did all his people go? He is there making money and living for free. Using his culture to bash ours. The first 20 minutes are very hard to get through.
Get over yourself, thanks@@Djkahled9999
Pete deserves a Pulitzer for his documentary and journalistic work out here across the US.
He’s amazing! I especially love this one as I have Family on Molokai 🧡
Agree
Look up how the Pulitzer came to be a prize and you might disagree
Absolutely agreed.
Pulitzer’s are given to regime propagandists only
“Everybody’s got a talent, everybody has a skill, everybody has something to trade. But not everybody has money” I’m taking that with me, much love❤️
Tell me a good joke. I’ll give you food. Love his perspective
He said it so perfectly. It touched me also. Knowledge for the soul.
In theory its true,but I've known people who just always take,& bring nothing to the party.
Personally, I think one day (perhaps sooner than later), this is the way we will all live. I certainly look forward to it.
This quote hit home for me
Lifetime Hawaii resident and this series is one of the best on Hawaii. You met the real people and learned the culture and didn't just show the obvious beauty of Hawaii. You show true aloha.
LOVE HOW GREG WAS ALLOWED TO SHARE, UNINTERRUPTED, WITH UTMOST RESPECT!!
I love how Pete just lets people talk.
He’s learning too 😅
That’s how I’m able to listen to show like a podcast
Sometimes, less talk is better.
The art of true conversation is a dying art. Everyone wants to make their PT but seldom listen.
Would love to meet Peter seems like a very humble man and genuine !
Peter Santenello are adult version of “Saturday morning cartoons”.
Always looking forward to Saturday mornings
Yes, exactly!!😂❤
Ya ba da ba do
can confirm. sipping coffee on Saturday morning. learning about Hawaii.
😂 yesss
Kind of true :) Hawaii ones are great!! I spent 3 years there and miss it everyday. As a outsider without any family its difficult to survive 80% or more of my paycheck went to rent, but the trade off is you get to live in Hawaii 🤷♀ I just never saw myself getting ahead there or being able to feel secure. To be fair on the mainland maybe its a false sense of security. If things go south are you better off on a island where you're self-sustained thru community or on the mainland where you have easier access to things but also 50x the population and a lot of potentially bad apples.
As a native Hawaiian, this man is speaking the truth , out of all your videos so far, this man is the most culture connected and culturally correct. This is a real Kānaka Maoli!
You are so right. Much aloha to him and all our Kānaka Maoli. I am so thankful to be born and raised in Hawai‘i. And to hear stories of old from our Kupuna. So many of which resonates and apply today in our modern ʻāina.
Mahalo Ke Akua 🙏
Born and raised in the mainland but I’m 25% kanaka family roots from Hana, Maui Aloha Mahalo ❤
I’ve had the privilege of being able to meet Greg and his father on two separate occasions. We got to catch some fish, farm taro, and visit the valley waterfall. Greg’s commitment to his land and the ancient culture of Molokai is truly extraordinary. I feel very lucky to have been able to have this experience with Greg.
awesome
Aloha tangermang8978! Same here, been visiting Halawa Valley for 20 years...How do you feel about 2.98 subscribers and 618K views in 3 days? I was a little sad when this video came up in my feed. Sacred not secret.
@@000000000BABY I've been out to Halawa a few times as well. When I worry about 1m people learning about the Halawa Valley, I try to remember that the plane heading into MKK is a 9-seater, there are no more short term rental permits on the island, and the residents literally chased a small cruise tour off the island. It is a hard place to get to, and not an easy place to visit with the wrong mindset - most people, if they figure out how to get there at all, will be one and done. OTOH, I worry more about what happens to the ranch; the valley has some natural protections, as you know.
did u guys slaughter some deer?
most exellent experience. i would love to be able to learn from this family
Just want to say, this comment section is one of the warmest and kindest on all of youtube, and I want to personally thank everyone who contributes to making this such a pleasant and informative space. Thanks everyone! 🙂
You’re so right!
❤
You can learn a lot about the person by the people who watch them. There's too much division in this World. The government is trying to divide us & its working.
😘
Let Peter make a video talking to Black people and watch how " Unkind" and judgemental the comments get...lol
Damn Peter, you have an extraordinary talent of not only interviewing people, but picking high-quality people/stories to share with us. This video is a perfect example.
incredible
This man is the Salt of The Earth….may God protect you and your righteous people
amen
As a kid in the Netherlands we always used to daydream about going to Hawaii without knowing what it really looked like.Turns out it’s more Beautiful than we could’ve imagined..✨👍🏼👀✨
"Sacred, not Secret" love that! What an honor you were granted to see this beautiful place Peter 😮 amazing!
I love how Peter just observes, non+ judgementally, how others live. He's so respectful and I appreciate everything I've had the chance to learn through these interviews.
I think you don't read the title. He is promoting the traditional culture of those people, so he should listen, that is it. Is it wrong? It's true? is different topic.
"you look so unhealthy'
@@somkaplan1563promoting culture doesn’t equate to being judgmental.
@@EphemeralProductions Absolutely, as humans, our capacity for judgment is a fundamental aspect of our intelligence. Just as we recognize fire as hot and ice as cold based on our senses and reasoning, we have the ability to discern between beliefs and realities. When it comes to cultural practices or beliefs, it's important to approach discussions with empathy and understanding. If someone holds beliefs that may seem questionable or unsupported by evidence, it's an opportunity for respectful dialogue. We can gently and constructively share alternative perspectives, helping each other explore the richness of diverse experiences and knowledge.
@@somkaplan1563 and that’s all exactly what Peter does. From all I’ve seen anyway
“I have FAITH in you. I believe in what you do.” Says Greg to Peter. That is the best thing anyone can say to someone and Peter received that gift. A man without integrity is no man at all. God Bless 🙏
😢😢😢😢😢😮 unfortunately a lot of men have no integrity.
@@aimeekubik8803Not just men, a lot of humans have no integrity. 😕
agreed!!!
"No Me, My Or I. Just Us, Our and We"
The world need more of this, beautiful video.....Aloha
What an absolute gem this man is. Kind, grateful, level-headed, warm, common sense attitude, generous. Thank you for bringing us this story.
True Kānaka Maoli 🫶🏼
Seems arrogant to me.
@@John3.36 freaking hell I thought I was alone. will end up in an argument with this man real quick
Way too intense.
@@John3.36
What did he say that was arrogant?
This guy is living in paradise. Imagine able to sustain yourself in such a beautiful place. Thank you Peter for giving us tours around areas that some of us will not ever make it to. Stay safe stay healthy
True kanaka kanaka warriors connected to their precious aina. They know.......
Mahalo
The land doesn't actually belong to him. It would be like you finding a forest and calling it your own. The entity of which it belongs will one day make it clear and he will find himself in the same shoes as the rest of us. He will then hate himself, the way he hates us, for having to work for his land and home. He says in this video he "just walks his land every day to cherish the stories his elders have told." That's the scope of his contributions and work. His little "elder" speel he repeats over and over has only worked because the actual land owner is being patient. Did you notice he really did not want to answer the question about where he sleeps when Peter was seeking clarity if he sleeps in the bed he claimed was "his wife's". He lies and still tells people he sleeps in the tent, but that hasn't been the case. He is a fake and one day the entity that actually owns that land will take it back on record.
@@xiapong6277I would imagine his family has kuleana rights to the land. If they have maintained constant occupancy and continued to caretake and farm, they have real rights to the access, the land, the water just as the person who holds the deed. And if so it is "their" land legally just as much as the deed holder's. This explains why he would separate from his wife and move from Oahu to the valley prior to his father's death, to assume the kuleana. Hawai'i is a unique place with a unique history, and some unique quirks of land and tenancy law because of it.
@@raez7155 This is often true, but there are many imposters whom have taken advantage of the "sharing." It comes through a lot in some people's disposition and overly eager entitlement mixed with insecurity. Exhausting the elder card is a massive red flag that even the best of imposters know. There is imposter written all over this feature compared to prior videos. Honesty is not hard but rather natural.
@@xiapong6277 as a non-Hawaiian person who maintains my own little piece of the aina, his lo'i (taro pond) speaks for itself. As well as the rest of his farm checks out. Things grow feet a week here and it's a lot of work to keep a small farm. He's not just taking walks and telling stories.
I’m so jealous of his lifestyle. Back to nature and the basics. The way it’s meant to be!
Watching him and Peter walking through the Hawaiian forest reminded me of backpacking the Appalachian Trail. We can't all live there, but at least we can find a week to experience it.
Hawaiian dude is the wisest man to grace the internet in years
Born and raised in Hawaii. Still live here on the Big Island. I will never leave. Growing up, my family were always simple people. Always working and helping with “productive” work and help. Very selfless. I remember always helping neighbors and friends. Whether it be with their yards or giving salt or sugar for their cooking. Giving them a ride somewhere. Whatever it is, we were always taught to HELP others. Till this day my mindset and intentions have never changed. And I instilled it into my children. Hopefully they will carry it on to theirs. Also, my papa was an avid gardener. Till this day, I am the same. I grow most of our veggies right in our yard. I believe that every human on earth should have a good sense and intellect to be sustainable. At least a little. It’s a must. Much love and Aloha from your big island neighbor 🙏🏼❤️🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I’m so happy you and your family are able to stay in Hawaii. There are more native Hawaiians living on the mainland than the islands. I meet them in the Pacific Northwest and Las Vegas. It’s the only way they can afford homes and land.
I was on the big island exploring for 3 weeks... I made it a mission to hike all 50 states, and the 50th state was my 50th state! I never felt ao attached to a place... the kindness, generosity, food, people, smell, etc, have taken over my brain...😂
You are truly blessed. ❤️ I have to much gratitude for the experience I had. I felt welcome, I felt cared for, and I felt at home so far from where I am from. ❤
Mahalo...
@@LilyGazou mahalo 🙏🏼🤙🏼 And yes, many move away, SADLY, because of “money” reasons. Or more of a bigger word “FINANCIAL” reasons. I have 1st cousins that have moved to Las Vegas and to the upper north west. Oregon and Washington. They do come home to visit but to be honest, they weren’t brought up the same way as I did. More of a “get a degree and earn more money” type of environment. Which is ok I guess. But to me, the “aloha spirit” type of upbringing is something that will never disappear or fade. It trumps all money and power. It keeps me grounded. Humble. Simple. My mindset and heart will never change. To have the peace and quiet on my own land with nature around me is just to hard to move on from.
@@hollydeforge6624 The way you feel about this place, speaks volumes of what type of heart you have. It might be a calling. The biggest word here is RESPECT. Respect everyone, everything, regardless of your gender, race, or religion. That’s The culture here. The aloha spirit is about KINDNESS, RESPECT, SHARING, HELPING, etc. Just be nice. Smile. Open doors for people. Say hello. Throw a shaka🤙🏼. It’s not hard to do. Aloha and mahalo🙏🏼🤙🏼❤️
Secrets die, sacred is shared. Peter you have the perfect personality, honesty, and humility to interview each and every personal cultural experience from an individual's perspective. You don't just showcase each person, you let us experience their lives, their hopes, their realities, their families, and neighbors. You can draw so much from one person that it makes me want to go there and live exactly as they do instead of take a vacation to a resort, whether it is in Appalachia, south side Chicago, deep desert Texas ranch, the reservations, or Moloka'i. The talent you have, and your wife in editing each episode so perfectly, is truly amazing! Saturday mornings are my mini vacation every week.
That’s so cool 😊 We thank you so much!
@@PeterSantenello ♥️
In this video, I saw and felt nothing but joy from Greg; not the feeling of fleeting happiness but deep joy.
Undoubtedly one of the best videos you have EVER made. This is beyond perfect; not an ounce of politics or divisiveness in sight
Got married in Kauai last month. Hawaii is a magical place. Protect the Hawaiians at all cost. The energy you feel from the people and the island is indescribable. You just have to be there to experience it. Hawaii isn’t Hawaii without Hawaiians. Mahalo! 🤙🏼
Congratulations! I got married 40 years ago this September on Oahu. Yes Hawaii is magical.
Rural Hawaiians love people with good angels. They all do but because of haoles with demons the urban Hawaiians have some barriers. Find a local bar. They all have food and they bring the kids and when they loosen up they start to hula for each other. Hula is ONLY performative. They are taught young and they do it for each other for life.
tbh hawaii is similar to singapore where i live except the mountains and all but the cultures are not that different we wear our tradition clothing like saree or veshti or sarong or chinese clothing just to how hawaiians wear theirs but different in style and meaning we are religious and mix cultures as well we both experienced ww2 and japanese attacks we also have colonialism and food isn't that different like papayas bananas same enviroment but difference we have our own styles and live very very far apart but either way we still have that vibrant culture.
Oprah owns it now..
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Peter. As a person who is born and raised in the islands, I am so thankful for ability to reach into real Hawaii. This is what we are trying to protect.
The way Greg is living is what I aspire to on the little piece of this earth where I find myself. Thank you Pete for shining a light on these precious people and places. Your ability to show a place in its essence is amazing.
This is a great example of why I enjoy watching your videos. You provide pure indigenous/organic content.
Thank you!
R.I.P Pilipo Solatorio. Sorry to hear of his passing. We visited the Halawa Valley many years ago and spent time with Greg and his father and hiked to the waterfall with Gregs cousin Gabe. This is a special place that does give you chicken skin when you walk through the woods. A great cultural experience. Thanks Pete for another awesome video! 😎🤙
What a blessing in your life.
@@LilyGazou it truly was a blessing to visit this special place and share history and culture with this family.
What is chicken skin?
@@SunBama-gw1tp goose bumps
Uncle Pilipo was a great man
I highly recommend anyone who's visiting Hawaii look into Eco Tourism, as a way of giving back a little while also learning a lot about the plants, culture, and ecology of the island. When we were on Oahu we volunteered at the Botanical Gardens on the north shore for a day helping to root out invasive plant species while preserving the medicinal and native plants. It's also a great way to see parts of the island you normally wouldn't be able to get to as a normal tourist.
The place where I was denied the ability to build a home ? I am american .
They can have their island now . Let's see them do it alone . Can't have it all and Hawaii believes the land is holy .. crappola . Silly
@@KC-nd7ntMerica 😂😂
@@KC-nd7nt you can do Eco Tourism anywhere, not just Hawaii. The point is more about giving back to communities while also experiencing the land and the people of that area. I promise it's a very good feeling you get after a days work.
@@KC-nd7ntbrah they prob didn’t like you because your white mainland attitude. White men have female emotions 😂
Honestly that should be said about any place people visit. Whether it’s. Hawaii or one of the states on the main land. We should respect everyone culture and land. We are all just caretakers of this world. We are all just a momentary custodians of this world. We are all indigenous to this world. There is no exceptions.
This brought back so many memories of time with Greg and his father. I learned so much from their love of Hawaii.
I love the guys laugh. He is very happy in life you can definitely tell. There is so much peace in a simple way of life
Beautiful, just beautiful. This man has life figured out. To Peter: yes the long form, low edits is why we watch you. You give the true perspective.
Years ago my family and I went to Molokai and met Greg and his dad on the hike tour to the waterfall that they were running. I asked before arriving if we could do volunteer work and got the approval, so we were doing cleaning in their taro areas shown at 2:05 and it was so special. I'm glad to see that he's still there and doing what he's passionate about.
Sacred, not secret. What a kind and wise man. Much respect to this beautiful family. I live in North Carolina and can only dream of living with or upon the sacred island of Molokai, Hawaii. What a peaceful and spiritual way to exist. We are all just pilgrims here, and passing through this realm. Great content! Thank you all for sharing.
Peter has a rare ability to make awesome stories be appreciated by his great questioning and journalistic abilities.
I never was drawn to Hawaii until today. I dislike the tourism package and money. Phoney. Thank you for showing me this Paradise. Beautiful, rich in culture. Love it!
You can study the language and culture and nature online- it will change your experience of visiting.
You can come visit the Big Island sometime. It is more accessible than Molokai but also so large that most of the island is very local and laid back. Stay at a farmstay on the Hamakua Coast and you will get the real experience.
@@raez7155maybe in my next life ☺️. I'm retired senior. What a lovely invitation, thank you for that.
Meeting Greg and his Dad was one of the most special days of our life. I have been fortunate to travel across the globe and see and experience lots of different cultures. Molokai made an impression on me more than any other place I have visited. Amazing people, complex history, and some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
I enjoyed meeting Uncle Pilipo years ago on Molokai. I adore this Island!
@@DinaWashington-im4wi We were so lucky to get to meet them both. That east side drive to the Valley is one of those experiences you never forget!
@@wc6502 it's not as bad as the Kahekili highway on Maui, but definitely anxiety producing as a passenger. Luckily the little ranch store on the way was selling some awa drops and I was just fine on the way back!
@@raez7155what’s an awa drop ? Like Xanax ? Lol
This man has a kind wise kings countenance from another better era.
And here he is today.
Just a humble dude living life.
Sharing from the inside out.
Greg you are truly a royal treasure.
Many blessings and much aloha for sharing your culture, your views, your life and your ways brother.🤙👊✌
I remember commenting on an old Titus video to go to my hometown of molokai, I'm so honored you went there with your pure intentions to shine some light on our people. Absolutely love what you do, aloha my braddah🤙🏽
I like this guy a lot, zero complaining and ranting like that one girl. He doesn’t depend on all the American luxuries, he just gets to work. Providing for himself and his family. Love it.
It's what girls do. They even complain about good guys.
American luxuries is such a detached thing to say.
Yeah that girl was annoying. She acts like ever spoiled college brat who thinks they know the answers to everything and thinks she's saving the world
to be fair if you had found out that your family owns the land that now some corporation owns, id be annoying, pissed, and doing everything i can to get that land back
what girl? what video?
"Culture should be sacred, not a secret." Wow. Learned so much in this episode. Again, Peter, thank you for giving people a safe space to tell their story. Keep up the amazing work!
Your shows are getting better and better each week,this guy was so warming to show us the viewers how he lives. I applaud him. I like his way of life ,staying in his way of living natural,no stress,living off the land,knowing his ancestors lifes,makes him a true Hawaiian. Awesome show ,Peter!
This is what I wanna see, Peter filming and let people talk and share amazing stories
"We, us and ours" is how it should be everywhere ❤
The problem is the mine, my, I's would take it all...the we, us, ours really only works on very small scale. Because...human nature.
@@Sue-ec6un no , because some people weren't raised right ... a lot of some people
That was impactful.
We, us and ours is great until someone comes and squats on his land.
@@John3.36, Bingo. I bet if I pitched a tent on his land that commie bs talk would be out the window.
This is a great film. This gentleman is a walking encyclopedia. I’m glad you documented this for a record. Cheers mate.
I am so glad your learning our culture Peter ❤ mahalo for your humility , my na'au feels that your genuine and will take it all in. I grew up similiar to Greg through my Gran Tutu and rest of the ohana, learning and appreciating everything around. Aloha to you Peter
I saw his Dad give the teaching. I did not know he had passed. His Dad was amazing. Thank you for sharing
Very humble, spiritual person. I can relate to asking for permission from the elements of the environment to pass on the know knowledge. Watching from the Navajo Nation. Our traditional, medicine people practice the same, the calling of Spirits.
life is 100x better like this... you cannot change my mind.
Peter I am so very grateful for you going to these places that would never ever visit in my life. Peter you are expanding my world!
From kenya i hardly miss any episode this is my best episode would love this peaceful environment
Wakenya tuko hapa pia, tuko everywhere. 😂
Also here
Ppl should stay where they are and fix it instead of invading others ppls land
He said 'HA' is breath in hawaiin...... Very interesting..... Havaa is air/breeze in hindi!!! Makes perfect sense😊
The language is available to learn on TH-cam. Duolingo is an app that teaches some of it for free.
He" in hebrew is the breath of God. Very similar.
The Celts used sounds of nature too...as do the Lakota...they are beautiful languahes...as they reflect the beauty of nature...and therefore aspects of the Creator...
That's the sound that you make when you are breathing out, hence the origin of the word.
Many languages have words meaning breath starting with an H sound because that's the sound of breathing. In Finnish it's "henki" (life, breath, spirit).
Peter. You are a Saint. Love how you relate to people and show so much respect. We all can learn a lot from you. Much love and light to all you wonderful people out there ❤❤❤
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. APPRECIATE WITH GREAT RESPECT THIS MAN, GREG AND HIS FAMILY, THIS FAB CULTURE!
Loving the Hawaii series man 🤝
Mahalo Nui (Thank You very much) Peter for allowing people in and to learn about our culture. Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🤙
What a fantastic video! Great to meet Greg. Thank you Peter.
I have always wondered about Molokai. It seems like a very special place and I’m glad they’re resistant to growth (hotels, mass housing, etc.)
Born & praise on Oahu, I'm 50% Hawaiian..went to Halawa valley only once, years ago ❤it's a very special & spiritual Ahapuaa! Love Halawa valley & the mama! So happy to see the last ohana of Halawa still carry on our Hawaiian culture ❤best way to live!
Mahalo Nui Loa Peter for doing a vedio on this special place❤
Love this guy, Take money out of the picture, and we are all equal!
😢😢😢😢😢😢 my father when he died looked at me defeated and so very sad. His last words were, "who invented the money?" Money makes people unequal in every way possible.
Isn’t that a great saying? I loved what he said..so truth..
Very enjoyable listening to Greg for close to an hour. He is a wonderful soul who is packed with life's knowledge that has been handed down for generations. And as always, mahalo to you Peter, for bringing us along for the ride. 🤙
This is so incredible and it is such a privilege to learn about so many other cultures and traditions through your videos. Thank you, Peter!!
Thank you for this video. My parents moved to the States when I was 14.
I will soon be retiring and will move back to my island on the Caribbean. Giving up the hustle and bustle for a simpler life.
Much like the gentleman in this video.
21:18 That's why, I watch your videos Peter, you don't over produce, or cut down your videos. I tell people, that your channel and Kirsten Dirksen's, are the best TH-cam channels.
I completely agree with your sentiment. I really enjoy both channels content👍
Definitely one of the best on TH-cam for documenting other people’s lives. Puts out there like he sees it not putting his own spin on any of his videos.
Oh, thank you for this! I was stationed in Hawaii for 4 years and had many local friends, this man IS what Hawaiians are. It is so hard to use words to describe feelings that are so unique. Mahalo and Aloha
Thank you brother for allowing him in and on your land…❤
What a beautiful place. This is ideal living to me. Simple living with nature, off the land, trading. I really like this guy. He is reasonable with a lot of common sense, and he is not bitter. I really like those qualities in a person.
This is the Hawaii I've always dreamed of visiting. Not all of the hustle and bustle of the main tourist areas. I can sit for hours in one place and enjoy the quiet scenery and all that it offers. Greg, you are a gift.
Peter your channel has really come into it’s own. What to me was a travel channel is now exploring more deeply alternative ways of living and experiencing life. Love how it’s matured over the years.
What a treat to see the real deal!. And it means so much to know that it's still alive and thriving.
I went to Hawaii in 2012 and it’s still a place I think of often, it’s forever engraved on my heart. No place like it.
You need to get out and travel more; many places like Hawaii, more beautiful places. Stay out of areas that the United States is/has occupied; they tend to fuck shit up!
@@TheConstitutionalGuardiankind of like you did here.
The heart of Hawai'i embraces you
Oh me too. I was there in 2019 and it forever changed me. I left a piece of myself there.
@@malibu64 you guys know that. Hawai'i embraces and if you are meant to go back it is a gift. Can take the girl or boy out of the island but you can not take the island out of the girl or boy🏝🥰🌺🌈
What a privilege to be able to catch a glimpse of life in this valley. What Greg says really resonates with me!
50 minutes very well spent
Every Saturday morning I look forward to @PeterSantenello dropping a new episode.
Thank you Peter for showing us what we will never be able to see. You do a wonderful job interviewing people showing total respect for their way of life. ❤️
Thanks Peter
Been watching your videos for a long while. I met Greg probably 25+ years ago. He is a super close friend to my family members. He is absolutely one of the kindest, knowledgeable and giving persons I know. Was lucky to visit Molokai after not being there for about 12 years. Went to Halawa with my Molokai family and go hike to the back of the valley. An absolutely beautiful place. I live on Oahu and Molokai is just a different place all together. Molokai People are so kind, giving and humble. Just make sure you respect.
I recognize your name from somewhere. I lived and worked in Lahaina for yrs, mostly in the activities business. Did you have a zip line?
Hiked the valley back around 89-91ish, and other trips too.
Much Aloha 🤙😊
@@mauimixer6040 No I am an Oahu guy. No zip line either. Water is my home. Did Maui here and there. But now its cheaper to fly to the mainland and other countries. Unfortunately
Having been stationed in Hawaii for 3 years, these videos brings me back all the memories the island has to offer! Mahalo Nui Loa for doing this!
I agree on the Pulitzer. Peter is extremely talented on documenting different cultures and lifestyles. Molokai is the place I would want to live off grid. Unbelievable beauty and lifestyle. Great job Peter on your Hawaiian series. Scott from Indiana
This is one of your best works, and you have done some of the best I've seen anywhere.
Soooo much respect for both of you. I love the long - NO EDIT version. This. 100% THIS
Don't know how you find these guys, but yet another awesome and unique person!
I love this guy and what he’s says is truth , just think how much happier we could be if we didn’t have to rely on money for everything and actually talked and traded even the little things in life .
Yes, but his wife does work & it sounds like he makes a living possibly with private tours & working with the university?
Bartering is still around. There was even a show on it back in the 2000s

15:57 I truly appreciate that viewpoint. As a Christian, I strongly identify with the idea that instead of emphasizing "Me, My, I," we should prioritize "We, Us, Ours."
How does that relate to Christianity?
“..we “should” prioritize..’ Yet another Christian, telling others what to say and what to do
Christians oppressed Hawaiian culture, since their arrival to the islands.
Another fascinating episode - and your videography skills, besides your truly genuine, connecting and original interview abilities are also really commendable Peter! 🙌
The Hawaiian and Indigenous American videos are my favorite. I love history and culture. I shot a bow and surf so I appreciate this stuff so much.
Can't have enough of your interviews, Peter. Nobody does it like you.
Hawaii is magic
Peter I’m always in awe of your videos and the special people that you introduce us to. Thank you so much for doing what you do. You bring some much needed light to my dark days every time that you post. Thank you 🙏🏻
I had goosebumps as you walked thru the church yard. What a beautiful , sacred place and very special man. I have Hawaiian ancestors from the early 1800s- (British sea captain and Hawaiian chiefess)and I’ve been to Oahu, Big island of Hawaii, Kauai and Maui but I had no idea of what Molokai was like. Your tours are so special and heartfelt, thank you. 🙏🏻 ❤
peter keeping it real...One story at a time....feeling gratitude...thank you sir!
Remote doesn't mean isolated. And he probably spends more time truly connecting with those around him than those in the middle of the most crowded city.
Spent a day on Molokai in 2005 while I was staying on Maui. Everyone was so welcoming. The dud at the hotel that rented me my ride recommended rhis valkey as a must see. I was by myself. I could feel the mana of Halawa Valley as a literal physical sensation, so I stopped and asked for permission to visit. Saw one man weed whacking near the little church, otherwise not a soul on the beach but me and a small tan dog. I gave the dog part of my sandwich. Molokai reminds me so much of growing up on Oahu in the early 60s. I miss Hawaii so very much.
That little church finally caved in.
Man, your camera and post edit work is at the top of my list. I think you even have an edge on PBS, truthfully. Creative and beautifully presented. It looks like you and your team are doing what you are passionate about. I love it. TH-cam should be paying you well about now.
This should be mandatory viewing simply for the philosophy. What a great episode. Really appreciate this dude.
This just might be my favorite episode yet. You do such a great job at treating your guides with the utmost respect. Thanks for bringing it to all of us.
Thank you Mr Peter Santenello. Your episodes bring peace, joy, education and hope to the world. ☺☕🐶🤙
This is a powerful one Peter. Thank you.
