- Ancestral teachings tell us that language is an enabling factor of our ability to prosper. Like the ʻaʻaliʻi kū makani, language revitalization has become a way to demonstrate strength and resilience. In this, the 2019 UN Year of Indigenous Languages, the first-ever Hawaiian Language panel at the Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference convened to celebrate Hawaiʻi's ancestral language and culture, to demonstrate their important role in conservation efforts, and to situate ancestral teachings in present-day conservation contexts. Panelists from various conservation groups across Hawaiʻi shared about their work and ways language and culture have guided and shaped their efforts. Through large group discussions, opportunities were created to share and discuss together with audience members experiences, lessons learned, and recommendations for future action.

Thank you for sharing your precious story!
My great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother were Hawaiian immigrants and went to Hawaii for three years, where my great-grandfather was born!
Apparently they often told their children about their time in Hawaii after returning to Japan.
Suo-Oshima Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture, where I live, is a sister island of Kauai, Hawaii, so I went to Kauai on a school trip when I was in high school! It's a wonderful place, and the memories of my homestay there are treasured!
Currently, as Yamaguchi Hometown
Ambassadors, we are performing music as a brother-sister duo, spreading love throughout Japan.
Recently, my sister and wife have also started learning hula dancing, and I am currently practicing hula
and uploading them to TH-cam every day.
When I sing hula songs, I am also sending gratitude to my ancestors. Let me attach a video!

Beautiful segments at 30+ & more :)
I noticed alot of Hawaiians in the panela and the host speaker, speak Hawaiian with a “haole” accent. To me as a speaker of my language, its sad to see how Hawaiian is differentiating it self from the rest of the Polynesian dialects. If you listen to the peolle of Niihau or if you had makua or kupuna who were manaleo, then you would listen to these mea panela as foreign, because its like hearing a japanese person trying to speak Hawaiian in their accent. E ola mau ka kakou olelo matuahine aka pono nō kakou e a’o ka PUANA MAOLI inā e olelo hawaii ana💯💯
That's what I'm sayin. They should be teaching the original dialects really. With the T's and R's. At one point we probably even had F's and other letters but those dialects are lost to time. It's not just the language that's losing its touch. It's the looks of the people. You rarely see an Hawaiian looking Hawaiians. You only find them on islands like Niihau and Kauai now
@@user96790 yup. Das why I pride myself from being from Wai’anae, not only for our pride, but our pride comes from being one of the last ahupuaa with the most native Hawaiians, Waimanalo also. These are the two places where youll see Hawaiians who actually look Hawaiian, because Waianae, Nanakuli, and Waimanalo still have Hawaiian Homelands. But Aloha to you palala, hopefully in the future Hawaiians will see that we are no different from the Samoans, and Tongans that we choose to separate ourselves from and pretend to be more related to Tahitians and Maoris, when were ALL the exact same! Aloha🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@keokikahumokukoa8832 yessah. I'm from Nalo but I inherit mostly Haole and Asian feafures. My cousins on the other hand, all mostly brown skin. I just hope the Kanaka population will thrive and learn their lost traditions. BRING BACK the original dialects, bring back the ha'a, we should normalize more Hawaiian communities speaking Hawaiian I feel. Pass it down too. We been fcked over since the language ban and they tried to kill us. Now they just tryna get us to wipe our ourselves (if you know what I mean)
They have a haole accent because English is their first language - OUR first language. Don’t be condescending or judgmental, even about facial features. I’ve seen haole with blue eyes Olelo Hawaiʻi. If we learned English from a Texan, we would have a Texan accent. If we learned Hawaiian from a Niihauan, we would have a Niihauan accent. It’s still English. Don’t be haimakamaka. It’s about encouraging each other to crawl, walk then run. That’s what they are talking about. Preserving the language. I’ve been discouraged by fluent speakers saying that those like me are “trying to speak Hawaiian”. I don’t let that attitude discourage me. I just see them a little further along than I am. We as Kanaka Maoli need to be encouraging and help support, not tear down like ‘alamihi in a pakini. The idea of tearing down has been instilled in us by haole who came here and said we aren’t good enough. It has permeated and traumatized some of our people who have lost their way through drugs, homelessness, misidentification, depression, etc. We need to put aside those attitudes toward each other. Mahalo.
Ho! one sand crab in dah bucket, dis kine guys...
