These men whether Hawaiian or not have Hawaii in their hearts. I am part hawaiian. I unfortunately was not raised there but I love my heritage. Hawaii is my home, it's in my heart. Last time, some ignorant fool told us to go home and it's getting worse from what I hear. The Hawaiian people are known for their kindness but the animosity brewing between cultures when no one is pure blood anymore is just sad. Hawaiian people have every right to have their land back but at what cost?

i am a haole who first encountered hula about 28 years ago. i would think you would like that people are putting this stuff up on youtube. who cares if he went to the festival live? whoever is touched by it is blessed.

just to say.. these guys totally deserved the first place spot they got. This Hula was very good.

when using "Hawai'i" in an English context...like in "Hawaiian"...you drop the 'okina, but u leave it in virtually all other situations

I saw a dance like this when I was in Maui...the girls always scream when they guys start grinding their hips. Though I have to admit, it is pretty hot.
