It truly baffles me how many comments here are people making fun of this beautiful practice. Just because you have the spiritual range of a teaspoon and no connection to this powerful culture and land, doesn't mean you get to hide behind your keyboard and poke fun at a culture you know absolutely nothing about. Shame on you. Much aloha to this beautiful halau for staying connected to their culture and ancestors.
Anna Rose Deleon Guerrero if only they knew how proud being part of Hawaii makes u feel. It’s like being proud to be an American or from your country. But extremists can’t negotiate
Kuchi Kopi can y'all not do this on my comment? i simply wanted a positive connection to this video and y'all obviously don't enjoy this video so why bother? and why do you hate a religion lmao
@Kuchi Kopi nothing about this speaks "religious nuts" they're not picketing on the side of the road, condemning non-believers. They're not trying to inject their beliefs into the classroom. They're not forcing their beliefs onto anyone else.
I am soooo proud that this Halau is representing my culture. Our culture is so powerful and meaningful. I love it. P.s. knowing that I live in Hawaii is such a blessing❤️❤️
Waimea is such a beautiful place. I visited this past summer. Hawaiian culture is so fascinating and beautiful! It gets covered by touristy gimmicks too often.
Makayla I totally agree, most people that come to Hawaii don't realize that what they are learning are tourist traps. Many tourists that come here often don't even learn actual Hawaiian culture.
When you go to school in hawaii becuase I lived there you learn the hawaiian culture but you mostly learn about american history more than hawaiian history
Jason Cheers Actually some schools like public schools actually teaches the Keikis the history of Hawaiʻi too. I went to a public school in Oʻahu and learned a lot of things about King Kamehameha, King Kalākaua, Queen Liliʻuokalani, the illegal overthrown, Captain James Cook, discovery of Hawaiʻi, hawaiian language and more when I was about to hit freshman. I’m a junior right now and I’m still learning more and more of all the monarchs, the language, the culture that our ancestors did and the history. Most public schools that are in the white or rich community never learned or heard anything about Hawaiʻis history. So it all depends where the public school is at. Where my public school is at get choke locals🤷🏻♀️
@@puraheatmy friend went there for her honeymoon and said that it was so Americanized that it was hard to find the real culture there and that is what she did not like
i live here and its actually quite expensive, but its cheaper than san Francisco and new york. Also hawaii is the only state where everyone is a minority so a culture pot of the pacific and asia.
I'm afraid that in a hundred years so many such beautiful traditions, cultures and languages will be lost. This is who we all were, and this is so valuable. So rich.
It's already happened to many Americans. My family doesn't have any special traditions, and it makes me feel lost and lonely. I have no idea what my cultural heritage is and it makes me feel disconnected from everyone. These people are lucky to be part of such an amazing thing.
Ancestors are everywhere around us. Plants, hills, wind, rain and so on. You dont even have to be religious or spiritual to know this is true. Our passed loved ones are in the nature all around us. Thats why its so sad to see people mistreat it so much.
This is a truly beautiful culture. They keep their families’s traditions living and thriving. With their beautiful clothing, strong beliefs, and amazing dances, they keep their culture and family traditions alive. I live how they dance in nature to their only important audience... their ancestors, in the form of plants, hills, rain, and fog. Beautiful culture, I’d be so glad to learn more about it.
Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. I’ve had a rough time lately (I’ve been very sick) and it was heartwarming to see such a thoughtful comment. I’m awake, hurting, and trying to get it under control so I can try to rest, so kindness is especially important and I appreciate it. I hope you have a good day or night as well. Stay awesome.
their dances translate heavy emotions and pure passion, enough to make anyone cry. it’s incredible, to just be able to get lost in a dance, and feel what could only be nature powering you
I love how they explain what my culture is, what Hawaiian dancing really is. ❤️ this is what hula represents and this is what our culture is made of. What the base of Hawaii is, it’s not touristy dumb shit, it’s a land and it’s a culture.
Pagen how can it be pagen would christianity be pagen since that's a new religion my region is my ancestors cus I kno they exist with out doubt but kno one knows if ur Christian god is. My ancestors created me not some mysterious been
My native ancestors dances too . I hold my traditions doing pow wows. Rain and Wind . I hold my eagle feather the chief elders gave me. I bless the four directions. And the wind calls and blows rain is coming soon
Im from hawaii, and ive never even seen this kind if hula before. Im learning something new about my own culture, man. Its a very beautiful and powerful hula though.
So beautiful, genuin ancient knowledge! Thanks from my heart for sharing with us! Please dance and sing for all of us who for ages have forgotten the sacred connections!
K, so just so all u guys and gals know, hula ain't only for girls, it's for boys too and it isn't easy, it is hard and is pretty much like a choreographed dance that tells a story.
Btw did u know muslims have the same concept? When there's a draught we pray a special prayer called "Estesga'a prayer" to ask God for rain ☔ it's quite beautiful we share similar spiritual connections to earthly problems 💕
What a blessing it is to have full knowledge of your heritage. I wish we could say the same on the mainlands. Keep your traditions alive! Love to my Hawaiian brothers & sisters ❣️
One time, i farted then wind came rushing from the Northern mountains , and rain showered upon us. I admire their dedication to their culture, and traditions, this comment isnt made to offend their culture, i just thought it was funny.
Adult Cow u didn’t have to say anything as obviously you didn’t hurt anyone which in 2018 you can’t help but hurting Hawaiian snowflakes or any snowflake of the matter of fact(coming from a Native Hawaiian)
Pono! Maika'i no! In the water and in the mountains we dance and chant to our ancestors on Maui, Moloka'i, Lan'i, Hawai'i and Oahu. Teaching the children our history and future to come!
The indigenous people of this planet have so much to teach about living as spiritual BEings of this planet in connection and command of the elements. This short clip has me in awe and appreciation of great knowledge that is being preserved and practice. Give thanks 🙏🏾
I came here to get a spiritual experience in regards to calling rain, because I am getting ready to call the rain to New Mexico and the Southwest. We are in the middle of a drought and we need the moisture. Lake Mead and Lake Powell are drying up at alarming rates. We were not able to plant our chile crops this year, because of the drought. This is effecting people livlihoods and will eventually effect people grocery prices too. I hope someone out there will help me in calling the rain. Thank you!
вraddaн_k Do we? I kind of guessed we did, but I'm a plastic Tongan (Born into the western world AKA I live in Britain) so I wasn't sure if we ate dog...
Say what you want Waimea is the coldest place you’ll ever visit in Hawaii (This coming from someone who lives there Hilo side where there is rain but the heat there is unbearable)
What are you talking to each other about? What's wrong with having sex with a Black or White preacher once in a while who is married, what's the big deal? You can be a minister in Hawaii, right? Girls? The Goddess Tiamat is Indian placed at the Spanish Pantheon with me.
Right now we desperately need rain. Why aren’t u guys dancing right now! Everything is drying up on every island. Wild animals and trees are very thirsty!😫. Please dance. I will pray. Mahalo!!!
What the hell "we get calls from astronomers " Of course. Like many religion. No rain ? You didn't pray hard enough. But if it works you're to thank? I get triggered. Sorry. If any person could make an impact on nature Why the hell cant they go to wildfires ? Don't lie!
Leave a culture alone and it will bloom again. Religious people destroyed the native culture but, not there sprite. There sprite is alive and well and growing.

Anna pay no attention. Some are stuck in their heads and miles from their hearts and the natural world and that of spirit.
I havent seen a single commemt making fun of this video and their tradition. Stop 🙄
Lol I didn’t see any so far
I haven’t see any bad comments, stop being a drama queen
"we are not a halau that entertains... you are watching the physical manifestation of the spiritual world we inhabit" 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@Kuchi Kopi nothing about this speaks "religious nuts" they're not picketing on the side of the road, condemning non-believers. They're not trying to inject their beliefs into the classroom. They're not forcing their beliefs onto anyone else.
@Kuchi Kopi and like Jason cheers said, it's not even technically a religion with set rules and standards.
Their dedication to their tradition is amazing.

Um... ok.
john son I'm honestly not very suprised by that.
only if you will respect the aloha, the people, the land.
I'm afraid that in a hundred years so many such beautiful traditions, cultures and languages will be lost. This is who we all were, and this is so valuable. So rich.
Abhijith Anil It will not be lost...a few of us still remain.
Who cares? Science trumps fake beliefs.
according to who?
I envision a vibrant future where nature and indigenous cultures flourish.
The culture lost when the people mix, endogamic help to preserve the language, the religión and the culture

Ugh! So many tears right now. Almost all of us have come from traditions like this that have been lost through time. This was beautiful
This is what is needed in these modern times, more of us connecting with each other, our lands, and the elements.
My native ancestors dances too . I hold my traditions doing pow wows. Rain and Wind . I hold my eagle feather the chief elders gave me. I bless the four directions. And the wind calls and blows rain is coming soon
