    Rick, thanks as ever for your work in bringing these to YT. I appreciate your introductory comment to pre-empt the eejits. Unfortunately, the xenophobes and those lacking a sense of perspective and historical context will always be drawn to these older films, peddling their banalities. However, please don't ever be disheartened by some of the noisier, less nuanced commentators to this channel - I'm sure the vast majority that never comment are aligned with, and approve of, your approach and underlying motivations.

    I lived in Hawaii (Big Island and Oahu) for 10 years. It is indeed a beautiful land. And the local citizens are exquisite people. If you make friends with a Hawaiian, you have a brother or sister for life. But sadly much of it is now spoiled by hoards of drunks, junkies, meth heads, and punk gangsters from outside. You take a chance of getting robbed if you park at Walmart. It's much the same here where I live in Alaska. Just 30 years ago, Anchorage was a cool place to be. Not any more. Wonderful video of how it once was. These videos are totally amazing. Kind thanks for sharing them here for all to enjoy.

    Few if any tourists I presume, and no hula girls.

      The tourists and the hula girls just didn't make the cut. Visitors have been coming to Hawai'i since ... well, since people discovered Hawai'i could be visited. And yes, in that long history, the natives made themselves entertaining.

      @@SCCPioneers Thank you. Most every year in the 1980's I stayed in the Moana Hotel - pre and post refurbishment - on the way back to New Zealand in our winter from Europe - to rest from a long flight and get a tan - the fenced lawn, bliss. What an a remarkable change the refurbishment made to the space and furnishings of the Moana. The American hospitality, professionalism and grace was a restorative in itself.

      Don't be self righteous about history. The 'native' Hawaiians in these images were colonizers from Tahiti. These 'natives' enslaved, killed or drove the original inhabitants into the mountains centuries earlier. We are all colonizers.

    Tourism was not in full bloom at this time. Development was fortunately not complete. The Kanaka Maol'i were more populated then. There must have been some Aloha spirit in the area.
    Pau hana means finished work. They worked very hard with the sugarcane and pineapple industries which now are outsourced to lower wage countries.

    Poor animals. Poor field laborers. This is not what it seems. Very hard times. Many immigrated from far away lands and were taken advantage of by light skinned plantation owners. We've come a long way, but its still happening, in different forms, such as amazon warehouses, and fast food.

    Great video that you shared. however it does piss me off because the people at that time had no education of what was to come amongst hawaii the whole illegal overthrow stealing crown lands and the big financial mess hawaii suffers today if hawaii had not been stolen it would of still been affordable to live on our own island. Alot of people of today cannot grasp the truth about hawaii their first instinct is well lucky hawaii was taken by the u.s i shake my head and say to myself your just as stoopid to listening to everyone else one person jump in the fire everyone else follows and thats why hawaii is unaffordable to live on gentrification the plan was to push hawaiians and locals out what do people don't get. Without the u.s being in hawaii everyone would be 30% richer why you wouldn't need to pay fica taxes.
