I have learnt more about my continent through independent research, and by listening to scholars like yourself. I thank you so much for the valuable work you have done.

  • @DhammabradaSymhaKughl13dandada

    It's refreshing hearing the story from a African perspective, it was very insightful. I always had a interest in the Moors ever since middle school. I started to see them as a kid on yearly traditional celebrations. You may have heard about this European tradition as it went around the world reaching headlines a couple of years ago where Europeans wear a custom dressed like the Morisco in blackface. You probably already know where I'm going with this. What I find so fascinating about them despite the fighting against other Africans. The story of the black Moor can be traced back to the Rāshidun Caliphate after the conquering of Egypt by the Arabs. This part in history is still a bit in dark waters for me. Might be asking too much but it would be great if you could give us your perspective on it. I do have to say that talking about the first caliphate is entering a dangerzone. So choose whatever you feel like doing and thank you for the great content!

      Aloha ahiahi,
      Not sure if I can be of help.
      My best advice would be learn African. Specifically Southeastern and Eastern African.
      My research has led me to South Africa, East Africa, and Madagascar Bantu populations, in regards to Pacific Islanders and African history.
      A mix of things:
      1) Bantu symbols found throughout Polynesia/ Micronesia.
      Such as the garment in a Marshallese museum with Bantu African recognized symbols on it.
      Or the popular Samoan tatau, that's a west african andinkra.
      2) Ōlelo Hawaii words that have been classified austronesian but are found throughout the Bantu language in Southeast and East Africa.
      Ex: kuokoa, kamau, Makua, Tonga, Malama, Makena, just to name a few.
      These are African Bantu/ swahili words. But also Austronesian Ōlelo Hawaii words at the same time.
      As far as Melanesia.....
      I've only stumbled across the Ni Vanuatu people having a water dance similar to the Biaka pygmy people in central Africa.
      There are also garments and traditional dance that is similar to Ghana traditional garment and dance. Found with Melanesians.
      Check out Bantu in Britannica encyclopedia. Not the popular "majority theory", but the unpopular unknown "minority theory".
      It speaks about the Bantu people arriving 2000 years ago and meeting a people who introduced us to a Malaysian crop we know as taro today.
      (Bantu people have different names for it today).
      Just to get you started.
      Lemme know what you find. I'm always searching for new info to add.
