E Komo Mai,
Mastering all the human problems is not as difficult as many are thinking. In case of food and the correct way producing food, we just need to have a look into the past. The old native hawai´ians had incredible skills growing their fish in ponds. There are still ruins of this fish ponds aoriund the islands and some are beginning now rebuidling this ancient ideas. One of the important points of rebuilding the hawaiian culture.

To millions of travelers the world over, Hawai'i is an alluring picture postcard paradise. But to its Native Hawaiian people, nothing could be further from the truth. Their compelling story, of a race displaced and no on the verge of extinction, is brilliantly told in this award-winning documentary by the great-granddaughter of Hawaiian high chiefs and English seafarers.

Thanks to Lahaina Printsellers and Bryant Neal making this movie possible…
Lahaina Printsellers presents the mapping of Hawaii. Narrated by Bryant Neal this video chronicles the history of the mapping of Hawaii and the South Pacific. Part four focuses on European visitors and carteographers after Captain James Cook until present.
Captain Cook 'discovers' Tahiti and Hawaii. The natives tell Cook how they navigated the vast Pacific Ocean. Later commentators dispute this, and some natives of today—many decades after ravages of their culture by outsiders–decide to rebuild the ancient navigation knowledge and traditional sailing canoes to create a new legacy of wayfinding and revive the spirit of the ancestral way as they teach others to face new horizons.
Herb Kawainui Kane speaks about Thor Heyerdahl and his Kon-Tiki expedition, and then the Hokule'a (Hōkūle'a)– a re-created ancient double-hulled voyaging canoe (vaka taurua) featured in this extract.

A short movie about the history of Hawai´i
I found this films on youtube and its important to know how native Hawai´ians are treated. It is not ok to make out of Hawai´i an place only for the rich, it is also the home country of an nation which lived here for more than 1000 years. The country belongs to them, the deserve a chance to build a house on their land.
Watch the 3 parts of this tragic story and help this so important & culturefilled nation not to be forget…
