dress, the way i talk. but there's just something about it. like morrissey really articulates that experience. he himself is an immigrant. he is irish. you know, he fills this place. irish blood english heart is a mesa. >> this is the thing about being a mexican in the states. >> you're never white enough for this country, and you're never brown enough for mexico. >> it is a big issue about that poncho and all that, but i know that we are californians inherently and i am los angeles. i've been dreaming of a time when to be english is not to be painful to be standing by the flag, not feeling shameful racist or partial

forever my great fear as a kid was a fear of failing and that's hawaiian because i was born that way. >> because that's the expectation. you're hawaiian. you're going to be less. you're hawaiian. you're going to fail more. and so it's old it's in you. it's part of your identity but when i navigate a voyage i know when the storm comes. and it's going to take you to the bone and if the storm keeps coming, you got to stand up. it's just what you got to do and it's this zone where you learn to make fear your best friend. you hold it really close to you and you open up that door to believing that you

can make it i took a walk through this beautiful world felt the cool rain on my shoulder dancing in this beautiful world i felt the pain getting colder sha la la la la sha la la la la la sha la la la la sha la la la la la la hawaii is america as american as anything could possibly be yet it also never shed what was there before and the layers and

layers that have come since. >> it's a wonderful tricky, conflicted mutant hell broth. and what, for lack of a better word, you'd have to call paradise. >> nowhere is paradise. >> paradise don't exist. >> paradise is kind of in your head. >> wait a minute. >> you look out your window here. you look at those hills. those mountains. all that green that blue sky. and gin. clear sea it sure looks like paradise to me. this guy knows he's been everywhere. he's paul thoreau, novelist essayist and legendary traveler and travel writer of all the places he's been all the places he's seen he chose hawaii to live and he's lived here for 25 years. does it matter that it's america? no that's the big thing. >> that it is america. >> it has elements of the third world, the nicest elements of

the third world, which is funky. there's this self-respect. there's pride. there's things that don't work at all. and then it's main street, u.s.a., where we are now. i mean, this pta meetings here, they get together and watch the super bowl and it's the most main street u.s.a. or as much as you will find town is a neighborhood spot in honolulu's kaimuki district and is hawaii is the only state in the union that allows dayboat fishermen to sell directly to restaurants the pan roasted mahi mahi is pretty good. >> it's not a particularly welcoming or friendly part of the world. contrary to the sort of the aloha myth. >> no, that's right, that's right. but no island is. nantucket is in the isle of wight is in name an island. they want foreigners in corsica sicily. they want foreigners there. no way. no way. did anyone ever come to an island

with a good intention? people people? >> no. never in the history of the world. best. best case scenario brings it was. yeah, pretty much. yeah, yeah. i mean, at the very least, captain cook put his sailors ashore in ni'ihau which is just a little bit northwest of here. >> he was the first holy and like magellan, hawaii killed its first tourist. and the philippines killed their first tourist. but people who live on islands who are born on islands view anyone who comes ashore with suspicion well, to go back to the what defines a hawaiian which maybe we should go back in our imaginations to, could have been 2000 years ago. >> the tahitians had this voyaging canoe way before any other culture on the planet was exploring the deep seas. somehow gets you someplace in the south pacific. single most

isolated archipelago on the planet. fast forward to captain cook and his identification of native hawaiians. you get a glimpse of. these are very productive people. they're industrious. they were healthy, strong, and they had time for the arts. that was a large population. more than half of what we have in hawaii today. fully sustainable because there was no other choice. so over time, the native hawaiian population goes to 22,000. it's the same story introduced disease inability to to deal with it people die. 1926 the public school system would outlaw language and the practice of culture in public schools. so the road to extinction is being well paved between captain cook's arrival in 1778 and today, disease wiped out most of the population. >> missionaries came a booming sugar and pineapple plantation industry, an influx of immigrants from japan okinawa,

china, and the philippines. there was the overthrow of queen liliuokalani and the u.s. takeover of the hawaiian government world war two, and finally statehood the geographical realities of being thousands of miles from, well, anywhere else has given hawaii, to some degree, protection from the forces that eradicated so many other south pacific cultures entirely. in fact, they've arguably been holding back the inevitable creep better than just about anyone what hawaii looks like today depends on which island you're standing on, and to some extent, the reputation of the locals the hawaiian islands are not a monolith. islands. that's plural. and we are talking eight very different islands with very different identities it's been over a

century since the waves of immigrants began and things got all mixed up in the best possible way. there's layers and a simple question like who is hawaiian gets you all kinds of answers. the neighborhood of kalihi is a far cry from the hawaii that most people know, and ethel's has been a go to of a very specific kind for the last 40 years. >> it's a blue collar town, you know, they all come here for breakfast, lunch yeah. >> every day i'm joined by two local chefs, mark noguchi of mission, known by some as the gooch. he's second generation japanese and andrew lei of the pig and the lady. he's first generation vietnamese american. or would that be vietnamese hawaiian? as you'll see it gets complicated i actually cooked on the east coast for three years, and people would always be like, oh, you're from hawaii, you're hawaiian and i was like, no, no, no, no, i'm fine. >> i'm a second generation japanese. no, no but you're

from hawaii. that makes you hawaiian. and i was like no. and then what i realized is like here in hawaii, we identify ourselves ethnically versus geographically like, there's no way that he and i would call ourselves hawaiian, get our kicked by a hawaiian. >> how many generations does it take? i mean, who qualifies as hawaiian in your view to me, a hawaiian is a kanaka maoli. >> it's a native of the land. it's in your blood. you're coco. you come from a lineage of native hawaiian people what's your feeling here? >> i do feel like i'm hawaiian. >> in a sense. you know, because, like, my place but culturally it's a different story. >> well, let me ask you this. you say you're not hawaiian? no. what's your feeling about spam? >> i love i love. so you're hawaiian? i'm from hawaii i am i'm born and raised. gonna die 808. >> the owners of ethel's are a sort of typical hawaiian mix. okinawan. ryoko ishii aka mom mainland japanese husband yoichi, daughter kanaka who i

guess would be japanese okinawan, american, hawaiian and son in law robert, who is of course mexican what's that? >> big feet. oh nice. that's pretty. >> oh, wow look at that. >> that's the right type. that's the type that looks good ha ha ha ha ha! >> spam and bitter melon. >> now we are talking oh that's awesome i just called a local food no, but local food is like covers, like a wide net. >> when i look at this table again, i just got portuguese japanese. you got okinawan world war two. i don't know some type of korean. korean japanese, hawaiian love child. right? kind of awesomeness. >> the food is some bone deep hawaiian stuff. my friends which is to say, a delicious mash up of well, look, take taco rice. it's a dish created in okinawa to approximate tex-mex for homesick american

gis. that was then appropriated in a post-ironic way by younger generations of okinawans and japanese, and has now found its way back to hawaii. got that one right in there. >> wow identifying and seeing my best friends who are native hawaiian helped me to realize the pride of being from hawaii. >> understanding of the hawaiian culture, living it, but also being very proud of being japanese. >> there's still a movement to a sovereign there's a very strong sovereignty movement so if fighting broke out in the streets, which side are you on? >> i'm getting teargassed. >> you're getting teargassed. >> you don't even have to think about that. >> you were. you was fighting i always joke about it. it's like if like, nation of hawaii took it back, right and ousted uncle sam. my whole thing was like, no, no, no. hawaii is for native hawaiians only now i'm like, hey, everybody needs a cook like i'm a cook i have worth he is the smartest son of a he's ever done this for a living james was famous for

winning races. >> james believes that change wins it's the economy, stupid i ain't apologizing to no one. >> the man is a two fisted catcher. i am saying publicly what people are saying to themselves. >> i have enough money. i could just shut up carb winning is everything stupid. >> now streaming on max. >> why do nfl players choose a sleep number? smart bed. >> i like to sleep cool and i like to sleep even cooler. >> and i really like it when we both get what we want. >> introducing the new sleep number climacool smart bed. sleep up to 15 degrees cooler on each side. visit a sleep number store near you. >> i had no idea i was still paying for in-flight wi-fi until i finally checked my credit card statement. 14 months and $600 later. that's why i created rocket money, an app that shows you all your subscriptions in one place. see something you no longer want. you can cancel it straight from the app. download rocket money today. >> they are trying to shut down this legal loophole to get 100 milligram generic viagra or 20

they couldn't possibly have been the kind of sophisticated navigators who could guide a sailboat willfully across the pacific, across thousands of miles of open water. >> nobody could see the canoe here two beaten, knocked out of you. no dreams, no hope. >> can't see the polynesian voyaging society with the help of crew members like nainoa thompson, set out to prove that that was exactly what did happen. >> there were those in the community that loved this canoe, prayed for it, and there were those that feared this canoe because they sensed change. you have a 62 foot, 12 ton voyaging canoe. i mean, it was powerful it changed everything the hokulea, a double hulled sailing canoe, a replica of the kind of craft believed to have been used in those times, and using only primitive contemporaneous navigational tools, sailed 5500 miles to tahiti and back a trip

that helped spark a hawaiian renaissance, a rebirth of pride and interest in traditional hawaiian culture and identity. the success was monumental. it changed worldview that our ancestors were powerful. they were extraordinarily intelligent, they were courageous, and they were skilled. and so we come from them thompson is a legendary waterman, and he's continued to sail on hokulea as missions. >> native hawaiian, his roots in this valley go back 200 years. >> my grandfather was born here so i grew up milking cows with my grandfather he spent many years learning traditional polynesian navigation techniques from a master mau piailug of the small micronesian island of satawal this is a man that was chosen by his grandfather at one year old. he was put into tidepools to be trained and learning the wind and the water and the fibers he was sailing with his

grandfather and then he would never say that in some sense of abuse, but only love, he says, yeah when the wave made the canoe move, the canoe make me sick. the grandfather throw me in the ocean so i can go inside the wave and when i go inside the wave, i become the wave and when i become the wave. now i'm navigating at five. so when i approached him, he just said to me you're too old you want someone to know everything? send your son to my island. but he said, i'll teach you enough to find the island you seek but i can't teach you the magic why do you think it was important to do such a difficult thing? i mean, it's the same story that you're going to see in. >> well, everywhere. >> everywhere in terms of indigenous people my father's mother, nearly pure hawaiian, chooses not to teach her children language or culture or genealogy. where do you come

from? who's your family? what's your link? and that could have been 100 generations. what the voyage did that was a reconnection back to feeling wholesome about who you are, because knowing where you come from and who are your ancestors so hokule'a when it got to tahiti, it was their canoe. this wasn't our canoe, it was theirs. and so that it started to ignite this flame again symbolic a bumper sticker, a t-shirt starts to emerge. i'm proud to be hawaiian. 1987. it becomes the first language it's mandatory in the schools. hawaiian culture has to be taught in public schools. private schools will not have attendance if you don't teach hawaiian right now it's hawaiian. identity is into everything it's has to be recognized in everything. you're going to go to molokai yeah. that community is powerful when i mentioned to people locals in oahu in maui, other hawaiian residents that i was going to molokai, the response was almost always surprise

molokai did not have a reputation for being welcoming, that it was dangerous to go over there, that those molokai dudes were mean, inward looking unfriendly, tough as iron and quick to get off as it turned out that was not my experience so we like to brag about what we don't have we don't have traffic lights we don't have a building over three stories. >> we don't have traffic. >> nice. walter naki is a skilled fisherman and today we're headed out for some octopus. >> you know his nickname, right? >> it's called the friendly isle. >> yeah, but it's famously not the friendly island. it's. it's it's supposed to be the most unfriendly island. i mean that's what everybody says, right you say which way you look at it traditionally we're very, very friendly. >> no unfriendly is when you try to come and fix it, right? >> make it better right?

>> or try to take something right. >> that's when we become unfriendly the molokai people have been protective of what their resources. so we have a lot of our natural resources still intact still, yes. >> but then there's always other people that want to come. >> unsurprisingly fishing rates is an issue around here. don't come over here sport fishing the wrong place. if you know what's good for you for tony, this is basically where we're going to dive this area this spot okay ready? >> go ahead, let go okay, we are here, man when we get into the octopus we're going to up the culture of this whole so when you stick the spear in there, you're

been happy about it, but emboldened by the times and by recent events, a group of young activists decided to take a stand in 1976, there were a number of attempted occupations of the island in protest of the bombing. >> none more successful than walter ridleys. he and a fellow activist named richard sawyer set up on the island and refused to leave. >> one day we're going to put one queen back over there managing to evade pursuers for just over a month before finally being arrested and jailed. when the first order burned down this building and put up one halau, which belongs over here they emerged, of course heroes. >> and these protests went on to inspire many others to join the movement. >> i hope i'm still alive when that day happens, because i want to see our queen back in office and embodied the independent spirit, the desire for hawaiian empowerment and sovereignty that today resonates across generations dahiyeh i kyung lah no yo kai loko e welcome to what is

and an ancient idea is as simple as feeding your community. >> and this, the island you're on. this place could feed over a million people back in the day. >> you hear the word again and again on molokai aina, which means land and translates to that which feeds you springs mountains rivers these lands these fishponds, were managed by their ancestors as a sacred trust here, where fresh water from the mountains and fast moving ocean waters met early sustainable clean fish farms something in modern times we're still struggling to figure out because you heard what people think about us but the true story is that we have a place of abundance and we're trying to protect it we're trying to protect all of these things that we've been able to protect for the last 30 years. >> and it's getting harder and harder. >> every single one of these hawaiians over here get enough

implies that you were capable of almost mythical things, the ability to live in the water, handle its many moods above or below the surface meet uncle ross waterman, a canoe surfing legend and generally accepted ambassador of the aloha spirit he's offered to share with me a truly ancient hawaiian space found only on the face of a crashing wave surfing a life connected to the ocean and spending time with family and friends on the beach are some of the cornerstones of hawaiian life. >> this is our chef. this is

jason. >> jason, how are you, man? >> and tony, that's kyung lah. >> how are you? >> all right you good? yes, sir kalani, how do you do? >> how are you? >> thank you what's going on? >> hi megan. >> hello those are my two daughters and this is my wife, alicia. >> well, hello. hi brandon. >> come say hi hey, brandon. >> how are you and milton, this is milton milton, good to meet you. so how does everybody know each other? here we live on an island. >> everybody knows everybody. >> okay. >> that's true. why did i even ask? >> it's just the way you roll i think i met uncle ross through the water. i mean, just surfing at launiupoko. and then we became like family yeah, he's like my. and he's like my dad. >> my ohana. >> each and every weekend uncle ross can be found here with his ohana. a hawaiian word that describes an extended circle of family and close friends and nice. we got lucky today. it's a beautiful day. >> beautiful day. even when it's stormy, it's nice on the beach. yeah yeah. and we'll

stay here until that thing goes down. hits the horizon. when that sun hits the horizon, it's. that's time to go home maui is an island. >> as beautiful as it gets. and sure, it's got its share of portion controlled cruise line entertainments doled out in digestible bites and complimentary mai tais but you'll also find the sort of beloved indigenous institution like tasty crust as local a place as you're likely to find daniel ikaika ito will explain what is a menu situation, or i can order for you if you trust me, i think we're going to hook you up with the local flavor so okay, i trust you raised on the big island. he's a journalist, the first native hawaiian editor of a major surf publication, and founder of the local contrast magazine, local culture is very much so, trying to point a finger at anybody coming in and going, hey, you're a hole. >> you don't belong. and

therein kind of lies a little conflict. you have being a modern day hawaiian. and i still think that's something that we forget about these days is how educated and how accepting our kupuna, our ancestors, were. it was always built on inclusivity. aloha aloha is giving without expecting anything in return. you got this hawaiian culture that was a product of the polynesians that populated the islands. then you got this local culture that's a product of the plantation lifestyle. so the japanese, the chinese, the koreans, the filipinos, the portuguese if indeed all history can be explained by what's on your plate. >> this is a prime example. behold the plate lunch the most identifiable and essential feature of the plate lunch is this a big scoop or two of white rice and potato mac salad? there is nothing more hawaiian served alongside a protein like chicken katsu or

this hamburger steak. a burger like patty drowned in dark sinister, sticky, shiny gravy or furikake ahi seared ahi with nori and sesame seed oh my gosh, that looks beautiful. >> oh yeah. >> that's going to work. oh all right let's just sit this right on top of the rice. yeah. >> you want to get some mac salad too on there too let me get that sinister gravy on. >> oh, dude, look what we're eating. yeah, okay. they may not be hawaiian, but they are now. they are fundamentally local. i mean this food, this most delicious. let's be honest delicious. this is not healthy eating. >> and we're kind of paying the price for it right now in the health of the state, which is terrible as i take a bite of hamburger and rob frehse like i said, it's just so good if you really want to do hawaii right, you got to give back. and

that's the power that hawai'i and the aina still has is if you show aloha and you give without asking the aina is going to recognize it and it's going to shower its blessings upon you so you think traditional hawaiian culture and lifestyle has a chance against the modern world? i think so, the beautiful part about my ancestors is they realized there was a limited number of resources where they lived, so they observed nature to the best possible. they could to figure out what were the cycles and how do we preserve this resource. hawaiian culture can teach the whole world something that it needs to know is we all live on our island and we are all part of the same community. let's all show aloha to the aina and let's show aloha to everybody else as well i'm going to let you in on a
