    Yo, can’t wait till I get some free time on my hands to watch this. Ever since you started dropping the short clips I’ve been keeping my eye on the channel, cos I knew cool stuff was coming. Last week we got the interview with Dr. Keao NeSmith and now this! Not only a source of learning for Polynesians, but also us non-Polynesians with respect and love for Pacific cultures. Mahalo, e ke kumu! E nana auane’i au i keia wikio. Nui no na ha’awina ma kau mau hana. Mahalo nui. Ma’uru-uru!

      That was one of my favorite parts. That would've been amazing to see the kupuna interact. Generations ago the languages probably had more in common I would imagine.

    In the cooks we eat poke, which is what tahitians call po'e. It prob similar to kulolo. You need to find some tongans on the island, theyll have plenty of manioke/ cassava.😅

    Rapanui language sounds like most of the dialects in the cooks and tuamotus/Havaiki. Reo means language and arero means tongue.
    Vananga can also mean the same thing.
    Metua tane for father.
    Papaha for foreigner
    Maniota for cassava
    Akangaru
    Aka'onu or akahonu
    Ava for channel or river
    That convo at the end I understood both💯 this must have been the interaction between Tupaia and the maoris. Love it.

    Also forgot to add. In Tonga we call Cassava Manioke. If you ever want to find it in Hawaii, just come find some Tongans , you're always welcome our Rapa Nui brother 😂 🙌🏽

    I know the Brazilian/Portuguese word - mandioca for manioca (sp?), and cassava for Filipinos and Mexicans call it yucca. Tapioca is made out of that root but just the starchy part whereas the flour is made out of the whole root. Also, I'm a DNA match to Noah. hahaha
