Me being a waimanalo native I approve this video

[@GamelanSinarSurya]

Mahalo for such a lovely program about my old home, Waimanalo. And how great to have music played by Waimanalo’s own, Braddah Kawika Kahiapo. 🤙

I can listen to kūpuna speak for longer than forever...true treasures.

I don't recognize a lot of places in the video. When the Waimanalo Sugar Plantation ended, we leased 10 acres and cut down all the sugar cane to open a farm in 1948. Now the farm is next to the Hawaiian Homestead and mauka of the Waimanalo Beach Park. The Waimanalo Beach is one of the best beach in the world. I don't know if it is still. I left the farm in 1953, but it is still there, growing sunflowers.

I love the history! My grandparents from Hanalei told similar stories. I have 40 year old audio recordings of my grand mother telling stories of Kauai in the 30’s and 40’s. My heart aches to come home. Mahalo nui loa.

Growing up in Mililani we spent a lot of time out here, just loved this side of the island, so peaceful. The mana is strong out here. My mother had a friend she called Mama Hati that lived out here, she gave her valuable spiritual advice. Did a lot of fishing out this way too.

Mahalo nui loa! So wonderful to learn about the history! May the traditional ahupua’a system galvanize & transform the world, as the spirit of aloha heals. Hawai’i truly is the piko for humanity’s healing. Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo!

My grandpa owned a gas station in Waimanalo, Edward Saito was his name.

You never see a sunset there always cloudy

[@wellfedohana]

If you never saw... I show you there is nothing like a Waimanalo Sunset with rays of golden light cacading over the Koolauʻs sometimes fiery red like a volcano erupting....majestic and awe inspiring is the setting sun over Waimanalo
