not really sad for me but emotional. the lady in yellow proudly sang her part with such power.

[@Salvation3088]

I am Samoan but raised on the Westside of Hawaii, in Waianae (Home of the Brave). The Hawaiian culture in Waianae is strong, and as both Samoans and Hawaiians are Polynesian, I developed a deep appreciation for both cultures. Throughout my life, many people have had a positive impact on me-my Pali/Adams family, the Amina family, and especially the late Aunty Ona (Ms. K), to name a few. I am a God-fearing man above all, and I take pride in being Samoan by blood and Hawaiian in spirit. Though this wasn't around during my childhood, it evokes a sense of nostalgia and brings tears to my eyes as I reflect on Hawaii and the struggles its people have endured. This post isn't about pointing fingers or dwelling on the past-what’s done is done. It’s a reminder to embrace your culture, love where you come from, and always seek ways to show respect and love to all. Above all, place your trust in God. This life is temporary, but your spirit is eternal!

The pure emotion in the room. I may not be a native Hawaiian. I always try to learn the meaning of the song and try to translate the song. I know that it’s been a while since my visit to Hawaii. But it’s sad that you have to reclaim the land of your ancestors due to ignorance of others. I applaud and appreciate that you honor your ancestors, and honor every thing around you including life.

[@JustASliceOfSweetPotatoPie]

I come from a people of lost heritage for I am African American. In most cases, it is impossible to know of our native ancestors and traditions, which is why I feel deeply for indigenous people, but especially those in the paradise of your native land, Hawaii. My son, who is now deceased, lived in Honolulu for two years. When he returned home, he spoke of the beauty there, an in Maui. The native people welcomed him as they opened their heart to Him. As a mother, I cannot put into words how much that meant to me. It is my dream to trod where he once was, and to meet the wonderful people of Hawaii. When I discovered this video, I broke into tears. How my heart weeps for your struggle not to loose your unique identity. Though I don’t know your language, but I feel from my core, you proudly sing of who you are as a people, and your beautiful land-and once again I cry like a baby. May you keep up the fight; please never give up, for the Creator made you to be just as you are-a beautiful people.

Hello~ i moved to korea 4 years ago. I don’t know why, but I was shuffling my music and came across this song that once again brought me to tears. I think the emotion is nostalgia. I only know a few singers here, but relistening after many years, I hear the hearts of everyone. My 2024 goal is to be able to sing the whole song and understand the words by heart. I am not kanaka, but hawaii is my home and this is a song I had the privilege long ago to learn at least the first verse and chorus and stand by kanaka with mele and kahea. I hope everyone is well and has the strength to keep moving forward. Mahalo nui loa~

It was a great experience to come across this video as the world is in a difficult situation. What a wonderful singing voice and chorus. I can't help be moved. Mahalo from Japan

[@ngamatamaeva2835]

Just watching this piece of calming and peaceful singing has brought tears to my eyes. I'm not Hawaiian but a Cook Islander. I didn't understand any lyrics however the music and sounds tells it all. We are all in the same vaka, waka, va'a. We have stories to share through our music. Keep up the good mahi. E akamaro'iro'i kotou e te iti tangata o Vai'i.

[@iakiakamooh]

Chicken skin the whole way through!! Every one of these legendary voices are so unique and yet they blend together into a monumentally beautiful whole, just like our kanaka maoli people. Grateful to Hinaleimoana Wong for this song, and to every singer who took part in this unforgettable rendition of it. ❤

[@sabinezemann9795]

I was moved to tears for several times by this song and always come back to listen to it. It's so beautiful. Even though I don't understand the words I feel your love and your plea. I have been deeply in love with Hawaii ever since I spent half a year there in the early 90ies. Keep going and never give up your tremendous feelings for your beatiful country.

[@thegrouettes]

Spirits soar! Nice work! I wondered when the very talented music world from Hawaii would bring it forward! Mahalo !

[@alohaaina8159]

[@kaenamoose7337]

I just heard this mele for the first time today, just had KZbin playing music for my son to go to sleep, and this song came on, wasn’t really paying attention until it hit me that they are chanting a mele, and instantly the pain of my ancestors crept in. I immediately replayed the song and by the end of it was chanting along crying. We will live and if need be die as Hawaiians. Onipa’a Kakou ✊🏽

[@rawiribiel1288]

Aroha/Aloha from Aotearoa! From this tangata to that kanaka.

[@Ireland617]

My braddahs and tittas, how very much I miss you. I very much miss my Hawai'i nei. I think about Hawai'i all the time. I miss braddah IZ. Long live his memory. I am sad that we had to leave (work related). But when we left, I took Hawai'i with me and left a part of me behind. Aloha au ia 'oe Hawai'i. As Na Leo Pilimehana sing, "I Miss You, My Hawaii." Liked and saved.

[@jameskoholamanakukekunana6144]

Braddah Iz shall live on

[@KassieKaloidavis]

I cry each time I hear this, I stand with my people the kanaka maoli. hawaii nei. My ohana comes from a long long line of kalois from the kaloiokalani line. My heart bleeds for our home and people.

[@mellowmood2785]

Words can't describe the feeling one gets knowing the message is being spread throughout the world...not even in 'Olelo. No matter what the outcome of the current struggle, the Kanaka have never been more united in generations. Mahalo ke Akua. Long live the Ali'i of tomorrow, our nation and its people. He Hawai'i au and to the world I send a sincere...ALOHA!

[@faanengaaw7357]

[@miklosszabo6950]

This song is really powerful, and wonderful...😍 Song of God ❤

[@MrJohobo]

Living on Oahu all my life and seeing this video and all the native Hawaiian people fighting to keep what's sacred sacred has filled me with so much pride to be from here, even if I'm not Hawaiian.

[@sunnysied713]

TMT isn't building on any sacred land.

[@gracekealoha4154]

[@mila2773]

Aloha brothers and sisters, I always cry when I listen to this amazing Mele, it always touches my heart, but it also gives me strength and reminds me that we All should fight to protect sacred sites to all indigenous/native nations all over the islands and world. Let's keep chanting and sending our prayers to the creator. Mahalo Nui E Ke Aloha for such amazing creation and interpretation.
