>> it's the big thing that it's america. it has elements of the third world. the nicest elements of the third world which is that it is funky. there is self-respect. there's the pride. things that don't work at all. and then it's usa. where we are now. there's pta meetings here. they get together and watch the super bowl and it's the most main street usa you will find. >> town is a neighborhood spot in the district and as hawaii is the only state in the union that allows fishermen to sell to restaurants, the pan-roasted mahi-mahi is pretty damn 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. but no island is. nantucket isn't. the island of hawaii isn't. name an island that is that wants foreigners there. sicily? no way! no way. did anyone come to an island with a good intention? >> no, never in this new world. best case in the world, bring syphilis. pretty much. at the very least. >> yes. captain cook put his sailors ashore just a little northwest of here. he was the first howly. like magellan, and they killed the first tourists, and just like hawaii, they killed their first tourists. the philippines killed their first tourists, but people on the islands born on the islands, they view anyone who comes ashore with suspicion. >> what defines a hawaiian? maybe should go back in our imaginations to could have been 2,000 years ago. the tahitians had this voyage way before any other culture was exploring the deep seas. somehow, someplace in the south pacific, single most isolated in the planet. fast forward to captain cook and get a glimpse, very productive people. they're industrious, healthy. strong, 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 deal with it. people die. 1926, public school system would outlaw language and the practice of culture in public schools. so the road to extinction has been 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. influx of immigrants in okinawa, china, and the philippines, the overthrow of the queen and the u.s. takeover of the hawaiian government world war ii 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 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're 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 far from what most know and most specific kind the last 40 years. >> it's the blue collar town. they all come here. breakfast, lunch. every day. >> i'm joined by two local chefs, mark noguchi of mission, known by some as the gooch. second generation japanese and andrew lei of the pig and the lei, and he's the 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, are you from hawaii? you're hawaiian? i said, no. second generation japanese. but hawaiian? no, i realized like, here in hawaii, we identify ourselves ethnically versus geographically. like, there's no way he or i would call ourselves hawaiians. we would get our asses kicked by a hawaiian. >> how many generations does it take? how lock does it take? >> a native of the land. in your blood. you come from a lineage of native hawaiian people. >> what's your feeling here? >> well, i do feel hawaiian in a sense, you know. it's my place. but culturally, that's a different story. >> you say you're not hawaiian. >> no. >> what's your feeling about -- spam. >> i love it. >> so you're hawaiian. >> i'm born and raised, going to die 808. >> the owners are a typical mix. aka mob, mainly japanese husband, and daughter, who i guess would be japanese, american okinawan/hawaiian and son-in-law, robert, who is of course, mexican. >> that's pretty. ooh, look at that. oh, that's the tripe. that looks good. >> now we are talking. that's awesome. >> i just caught local food. it just covers a wide net. when i look at this table, it's just hawaii. got portuguese, japanese. okinawan, world war ii. i don't know. >> korean?

>> identify, my best friends were native hawaiian. helped me to realize the pride of being from hawaii, understanding the hawaiian culture. living it. possibly japanese. >> there's still a movement to sovereign. >> there's strong movement. >> so if fighting broke out, which side are you on? >> i'm getting the tear gas. >> you don't even have to think about it? >> i would joke about it, because if i like, me and hawaii, and native hawaiians only, and hey, everybody needs a cook. i would be like, hey, i am a cook. i have worth! this is ninoa thompson. in 1976 with similarly heroic hawaiians, he did a difficult very important thing. before 1972, it was generally assumed even insisted upon that hawaii had been settled originally by some random savages who maybe drifted over accidentally from south america. it certainly couldn't have been ancient polynesians. they could not have willfully bring a canoe thousands of miles of open water. >> nobody could see the canoe. >> no dreams. no hope. can't see. >> the polynesian voyaging society with the help of noah thompson set out to prove that that was exactly what did happen. >> there were those in the community that loved this, prayed for it. and there were those that feared it because they sensed change. it was powerful. it changed everything. >> the hokulaia. a replica of the kind of craft believed to have been used in those times and using only primitive contemporaneous navigational tools sailed 5,500 miles to tahiti and back. the 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 world view that our ancestors were powerful, and extraordinarily intelligent and courageous and skilled. and so we come from them. >> thompson is a legendary waterman and he continues to sail. a native hawaiian, his roots go back in the valley 200 years. >> my grandfather was born here. so i grew up. >> he spent many years learning learning traditional polynesian navigation techniques from a master. he is a man who grew up in the small micronesian island. >> this was a man who was chosen by his grandfather. at one year old he was put in the tide pools to learn the wind and the water. at 5 years old, he was sailing with his grandfather. the canoe made me sick. my grandfather threw me into the ocean to go inside the wave. when i go inside the wave, i become the wave. when i become the wave, now i navigate. at 5. i approached him. he just said to me, you're too old. you want someone to know everything. send your son to my island. 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 thing? >> i mean, it's the same story you'll see everywhere in terms of the indigenous people. my father's mother, nearly pure hawaiian, chooses not to teach her children language or culture or genealogy. where do you come? who's your family? what's your link? and that could have been 100 generations. what the voyage did was a reconnection back to feeling wholesome about who you are, because knowing where you come from and who are your ancestors. so when they got to tahiti, it was their canoe and not ours, it was theirs. and so it was like it started to ignite this flame. it was symbolic. a bumper sticker, t-shirt emerged. i'm proud to be hawaiian. 1987, first language. mandatory in schools. hawaiian culture has to be taught. private schools won't have attendance if you don't teach hawaiian. now hawaiian identity into everything. it has to be recognized in everything. you are going to molokai? >> yes. >> that community is powerful. >> what i mentioned to people, locals in oahu that i was going to molokai, the response was almost always surprise. they have a reputation of being inhospitable and they said that molokai dudes were mean, unfriendly, tough the as iron and quick to get pissed off. as it turned out, that was not my experience. >> we like to brag that we don't have traffic lights. we don't have traffic. we don't have a building over three stories. >> nice. >> walter naki is a skilled fisherman and today, we head out for some octopus. >> you know molokai's nickname is the friend hi island. >> it's not the friendly island. supposed to be the most unfriendly island. i mean, that's what everybody says, right? >> it depends how you look at it. traditionally here, we are very, very friendly. now unfriendly is where you go try to come and fix it. that's when it becomes unfriendly. the molokai people have been protective of our natural resources. we have a lot of the natural resources still intact, and a lot of people don't want to come. >> unsurprisingly, fishing rights is an issue around here. don't come over here sport fishing the wrong place if you know what's good for you. >> this is where we're going to dive this area. a nice sandy spot. okay ready. wait. let go. okay. we are here, right? okay. when we get near the octopus, we are going to coax him out of his hole. when you stick the spear in there you're going to make him feel he is not safe no more. when he comes out of there, you stick him with the spear. >> final step, stun the struggling creature with a sharp mallet or if you want to the go old school, bite him right in the brain. in my case, it took repeated crunching for the chicklet sized organ. >> it's going to come to you. take your time. this one died eventually, likely by exhaustion as anything else, i suspected. ♪ >> you're a hero today. ♪ ♪ while the sailing canoe was a powerful spark for the hawaiian renaissance, this is what really set things off. beginning in 1941 and continuing to the 1970s and beyond the u.s. navy had been using this neighboring island of koloa as a bombing range. you could feel the shockwaves as far away as molokai. people have never been happy about it but emboldened by times and 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. he and fellow activist, richard sawyer set up on the island and refused to leave. >> back over there. >> managing to evade pursuers just over a month before finally being arrested and jailed. >> the first order is to burn down this building. >> they emerged, of course, heroes. and these protests went on to inspire many others to enjoy the movement. >> i hope i'm still alive when that day happens. i want to see our queen back in office. >> and embody the independent spirit and desire for hawaiian sovereignty that today resonates across generations. ♪ >> welcome to what is supposedly the most unwelcoming place in hawaii. ♪ eet you. >> please come inside. >> aloha. >> this is a shared community space with a sacred history. hano hano is the caretaker of the fish pond and here is the local community leader. also here is the famous walter ritty. >> everyone knows how valuable all of this stuff because we can see what happened to the rest of the island?

this is the question, who is hawaiian? >> hawaiian is a nationality, bob. >> come on. don't now. i have to be born here. this is a different story. >> i can give you the best explanation. you cannot be our blood. you cannot be kanapa. hawaii is our nationality. you can be that. you see this where we stand on, our ina. it matters so much, if you love this place and you don't want to with develop it, destroy it, abuse it, we're on the same team. if you are eyeing this place and the resources as a money-making vehicle for yourself, we enemies, right?
