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
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)
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.
@@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.

Mahalo nui loa Ke Akua Ke Mana Ke mana o I’O Aloha ✨🙏🏾🌈🌴🤙🏾☮️
Kahoolawe was literally destroyed and polluted on that island by the bombings and fallout. Water source destroyed in the process. It made me wonder why cancer is so prevalent there.
As a person that lives in Hawaii, I don’t think they should be accessible to the public. They’re preserving culture which should not be interfered with tourism.
I’m not offended by this on someone who is on the islands but you just need to work on how to pronounce the islands names and how to pronounce other Hawaiian peoples names
Weren't there originally 1,500 Hawaiian residents on Niihau? Nor there are less than a 100..? seems weird.. but you say: "They are the only ones using the language".. ok.
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.
The islands aren't abandoned. You can only live on the major islands. The rest are privately owned or wildlife refuges and would need permission to be there.
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.
Hey everybody, if you enjoyed this video, please consider subscribing, liking, and sharing! Thanks fam🌎
When making anything about the Hawaiian island and Hawaiian people, You should learn how to pronounce the names properly. 🤦🏼♂️so bad!!!!🤬
Listening to you pronounce Hawaiian words makes me cringe

Hawaiians went to jail to protest and stop the bombs
@@randekatada7110 I don't trust anything the media says
Before doing a video with a foreign language, learning how to pronounce the names and displaying them correctly would be advised.

You are so lucky
At least learn how to pronounce the island names properly.
Right? It doesn’t take much time to learn smh
Yup it’s very disrespectful
I'm from Wisconsin I think the forbidden island should stay forbidden. The hawaiian people should have something to preserve the heritage.

@@natetruth6828 post comment if it helps telling ourstory instead of history…😊
@enefaletogo2533 wow that's so interesting! Anyone do a video on that? Interesting correlation to the bible 🤔
@enefaletogo2533 kauai is so beautiful! All the islands are a testament of God's awesomeness! Peace love and God bless 🙏 🤙
I'm from Hawaii and I lived in Wisconsin at some point, it's nice to see someone from there
Your pronunciation of island names needs some work. But good history. Thank you.
great video! i never knew there were abandoned islands in hawaii
Kahoolawe was literally destroyed and polluted on that island by the bombings and fallout. Water source destroyed in the process. It made me wonder why cancer is so prevalent there.
Look, if you are going to do a documentary on Hawaii, please learn how to pronounce Hawaiian names!!!
Thia video was intersting although nice commentary
Great!
KA-WHO-LAH-WEE? Try, KAH-HO-OH-LAH_VEH (Kaho'olawe)
Pretty good info.
The pronunciations of the islands literally destroyed my ears just hearing it said by this AI or person. WTF!
It's not AI. He pronounced the same name like 3 different ways during the video. The incorrect pronunciation isn't even consistent.
As a person that lives in Hawaii, I don’t think they should be accessible to the public. They’re preserving culture which should not be interfered with tourism.
Great vid

Those who live on any of the islands of Hawaii ?
👇
Me, you?
@@OreoM. I live on Oahu
@@noahmosca2375 nice! Big island here!
Oahu

Lots of misinformation in this video

The narrator really should take a course in proper pronunciation of Hawaiian names, if he is planning on doing any more Hawaii themed videos.
E is A and I is E . Sometimes the V sound is also used . It's an interesting language and only thirteen english letters are used, Mostly vowels.
Bro guess what island I live on
Maui?
Oahu? Big island?
Kaho‘olawe is littered with unexploded ordnance. Probably best to keep tourists away. 😒
Return the islands to the heir of the Kamehameha dynasty. Ali’i nui Aleka Aipoalani…
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.
i love hawaii
I used to live there. It's an awful place only worth visiting for a few weeks and getting out. They racist towards any outsiders
@@James-sn5mg I love hawaii the most perfect place on earth.
@@James-sn5mgno they are most definitely not. You just need to show the locals respect
Its called Kahoolawe
Niihau
Niihau should be preserved and Kahoolawe should be cleaned up, developed and sold in order to pay down the national debt.
Pls correct your pronunciations
They bombed it.
without the usa hawaii would be another haiti.
If you can’t pronounce something right then don’t make a video about it.
