My grandmother comes from Ni'ihau. My family has been on ni'ihau since before the sinclair purchase. Last time i visited hawai'i many aunties, uncles and cousins from ni'ihau came to kuai'i to my grandmother funeral, the spreading of the ashes on the ocean. was a memorable moment. Will never forget.
I wish to thank the robinsons
@@vixjok obviously...
Spelt Kaua'i
Ho cuz grandmada ol schoo eh? Hoeles no care eh? They kooks li dat! A little "pidgin". From a Hoele "non kook". Most people never met one🤙
csn u visit niihau?
I hope the people living on Ni'ihau were exempted from fauci ouchies. That'd be a true barometer of the Robinsons benevolence.
A friend of mine and I visited Niihau and flew on that helicopter in November 02 2012.
It was an awesome experience that I will always treasure.

Such a serene beautiful place. Thanks for sharing the slideshow and great narration. It is so sad to see all that garbage strewn at that beach
Beautiful aerial view of Ni'ihau
I have no idea what the old guy in the beginning said .
Thank you for showing the island in pictures and telling history. The closest I have been and didn't think about it was vacationing in Kawai'i and I still consider the massive sea and savor the memory of how green Kawai'i was and treasure that time with people I loved. Thank you
It’s Kauai (or Kaua’i).
Kauai is my favorite place i’ve ever visited on planet Earth.
absolute garden of paradise
Wonderful recount of the Robinson Family!
Liz Kauai I hear ya Liz! Lori Robinson, Keith's sister is a dear old friend and to this day , I still get goose bumps when I hear her retell that story...the family was also offered Waikiki area but it was totally flooded that year...
Beautiful place thanks for making this
That's very interesting. I learned a little while I was on the Waimea pier on Kauai looking at the island from afar
thank you for this video
I am 12 years old. Raised with respect. I take care of the land, and make sure others do to. I am not greedy or selfish and the Hawaiian culture inspires me. It’s so different and unique like the Polynesian culture. I have been wanting to live in Hawaii now on the Garden Isle. I hope people are not mad because I’m a main lander. I heard that people are all “locals only”
Come on down. Never limit your self
As long as you're respectful of other people usually won't have problems like that. People who have hate in there heart you don't want to know
@@davidwestwater2219 the locals are the one's with the hate in their hearts and Pele comes again to burn sacred landmarks. This time her lover Lohi'au walks hand in hand, fire and water, to teach the natives not to bite the hands that feed them. They must take heed, there will be no more warnings.
@@localknowledge7571Don't bite the hand that stole the land 😂
This is one of the few places on earth where the people and land have been untouched by modern civilization. The result? One of the most pristine and cleanest islands on the planet. The people who come from here are just as beautiful, I swear to god if you were to meet a real Hawaiian from this island you would feel their presence immediately. It is powerful and beautiful, you can tell they grew up with respect.
Niihau's residents live in fairly standard wooden houses and have vehicles on the island along with some other modern conveniences, so it's not untouched quite like, say, North Sentinal island in the Indian Ocean.

pretty sure they are white too lol
I am not a greedy US citizen I am only 12 and the Hawaiian culture inspires me and makes me want to live there. I wish to live on the Garden Isle
They are incest people
Great island, lets keep it that way, no intrusion from us here on the rest of the Hawaiian Islands.
just booked my timeshare week at Marriott Beach Club Niihau for April 🤩
Riveting! Thank you!
Very interesting
Thanks for your comment. Don't know about groups to clean beaches on Niihau. If I hear of any, I' ll post.
Send the cleaning crew to Midway Atoll where the albatross are dying in droves from plastic garbage.
i see it now. appreciate the videos. aloha!
Our planet is AMAZING
100s of tourist visit that Rock for snorkeling so they have opened up in away to outsiders but they are very monitored to stay within a certain area and to protect from damage to the reef
How about sending a Hawaiian cleaning crew to pick up the plastic. Maybe as part of a high school or college program . Beach cleanups are part of California's Earth Day kuleana.
Why not Hawaii? I know they are trying to keep it Hawaiian, but I know they can use the help.
for all of the terrain modification, are they obtaining purposes just like the rest of Kauai county?!
Good theory on the seales with no silver tags not attacked by shark's. I think you onto something.. Great work
good question
"All that garbage" How embarressing to be a human
90% of plastic garbage in the oceans comes from Chinese rivers.
You're welcome.
During wikipedia. it live 130 persons here. but where. I dont seeing any houses
Thank you Joe Rogan for sparking my interest
same here lol
😂😂😂💯💯💯
Can u give a link? Plz
I sailed past it on it CG cutter in the last 70s. I learned about the island then. I decided then and there I would respect the Robinson's wishes that it be inhabited by native Hawaiians only. And have done so since.
Robinson is a legit bro
What happened to Kailuakoi? Bankrupted??
how about Chowchilla what do you know about that
If you are an island native, which I highly doubt based upon your cross-language usage in this and previous posts, the meat that you are "getting" is provided to you by the Robinsons regardless of whether you hunted it or not.
I want to help clean up the beach. If any groups form please let me know. Mahalo!!
If a huge storm comes...well i hope the natives get to safety
where's part 2??
czcams.com/video/1kHqZ-KrhnQ/video.html
I believe that they went to Alaska first then to Hawaii.
Mahalo for taking the time making and posting this. But out of all the Hawaiian names you may mispronounce or incorrectly spell, "Kamehameha" should not be one of them. Mahalo again.
Mynahboy Yes, Thanks, See correction @ 4:00
fuck Kamehameha schools I h8 that school of chinese
it sure would be nice if some groups could be organized on a regular basis to clean up all that trash. its so sad to see the effect of modern humanity on this planet, especially when it is degrading an otherwise rather pristine island.
this is the largest private island that is in US territory i can only how many billions they could sell it for. goes to show the family has deep connection to the island.
*CLEARS THROAT* Hoale... De Nada
I believe the negative votes are due to your complete lack of acknowledgment to the Robinson's dedication to the preservation of the island. They could have easily sold out and developed your so called vacation culture, but instead they lost millions of dollars trying to honor the original agreement of the land purchase. If you are a native, you have a guaranteed job from them if you choose to accept it; as well as free housing and meat.
Not true.
The washed up junk could be a problem; .Other than that ; EXCELLENT
Eeiiittt?? Mau diapain hawai?
Tsunami??
Jangan yaaa 💪
With the lack of an heir-apparent, you may soon have something to truly worry about.
there’s a lot of heirs you’ve just never met them
All your comments are weird and defensive
Nice pictures and commentary - although I hope in future videos, if Alan make more of Hawaii, that he would pronounce Hawaiian names more properly. The W in Hawaiian, if in the middle of a word, is always pronounced as a V, not W as it is in English. Thanks for the video, all who had a part in it.
The pronunciation of the "w" can go either way, even if it's in the middle. Like in "awakea", I think we could all agree that we say it with a "v". Words like "Hawai'i", the "w" is pronounced with both "w" and "v" by different people.

The trash comes from Pacific fishing boats. They don't care.
Idk. But I see faces all over the cliffs 😅
it is very sad to see beach full of trash! I wish I can help! or community can do something!
The island is NOT "Forbidden", it is Totally Privately Owned, big difference.
Just like you have the right to keep people out of your back or front yard since it too is privately owned, the owner of Niihau also has the same rights on their private property.......
private landowners are one thing; land pigs are another. Also all beaches in hawaii are public so you can go visit if you just stay on the beach.
Sorry I rattled your cage.....
+UTubeGlennAR my cage was abandoned a long time ago, shame you can't tell what a strong non caged man sounds like. maybe you will grow up one day.
At my age I like being not being "grown up" actually.
privately owned property bought for only 10k bucks. white people lol
!
Are there any living Dinosaurs on that particular island in Hawaii?
+CubanPete1990 Yes, there are quite a few. In fact, last time we visited we spotted Two Tyrannosaurus Rex and a group of THREE, RARE Gullibullasauruses!!
Is it true that they are really living dinosaurs on that particular Hawaiian island?
CubanPete1990 Yeah Humuhumunukunukuapua’a
@@unusabletmx What?!
@@tjplaceholder8183 🤣🤣😂🤣💯
I'm guessing no one caught covid on the island.
If you guys ever need anyone to pick up the trash let me know I'll move there in a second
Do you know most of Hawaii islands name are originated from south east Asian and pacific jawi Arabic names . Hawaii = windy islands, Kawai or kauai = the brown island, Honolulu = pearls island huna mean here and lulul means pearls, etc...
...kauai is like every color but brown
Ur way fucking off on the meaning.. n Honolulu ain’t an island it’s the name of the city dumbass
The GARBO of islands -
mat or mate?

No Welcome Mat on Niihau

Niihau is a private island, owned by a Scotch- descended family by the name of Robinson, who, it is reported, smilingly come down to the water to greet uninvited guests and suggest that they leave.
fuzzy pics
better the economy then a "soul'", but I feel you wouldn't understand whut i'm talking about anyway.
Like to visit some day.
Haha us hawaiians no eat our ppl. Das wut da fish, opihi, he'e (octopus), nd da pigs foa. Lol we survive thru da aina nd da ocean. We take care of da aina (land) nd da ocean nd in return da land nd ocean take care us.
lol no the Hawaiians in makaha don't take care of the aina the young kids throw there trash everywhere and have trash in they yards etc. I cannot stand Waianae people they are trashy and don't malama the aina like us on big island
I dont undestand why the little bit of natives there dont cl;ean de the beaches!
It’s trash that drifted there.. they didn’t throw it there.. n they probably do clean it.. on big island there is so much trash from the ocean.. ppl clean it n it still gets drifted trash coming on shore
what do you have to be angry about? What has angered you so much that you pick fights online? Do you realized that you are a perfect example of how the purity of the Aloha spirit is being destroyed by petty land ownership arguments? Let the anger go, you can not win any battle by simple bitching about what has happened. Turn the other cheek and rebuild the world so say you love and vowel to be a better person.
Perfect, the Hawaiian Aloha spirit ‼️ I lived in Hawaii 1968-1989. I learned so much from the locals. Kind, friendly and full of the Hawaiian love‼️ The best experience of my life and I still live Aloha at 74. Mahalo 🤙
Why does he always ware the hard hat ?
Cause he always has a hard-on!
"CLEARZ THROAT" nahola.....yakoke
Put the opala to work. Plastic can make good firewood.
No totally private islands in the USA>All beaches in the State of Hawaii are, by law, public beaches up to the vegetation line
LoveCeea Cee hello, I visited a few islands 30 years ago, had on travel experience, what was striking me was most Of The beach shores where private, no access possible. I found it sad not to see what was behind all those houses and fences.
You dont understand what you are talking about, this island was literally purchased by the family before Hawaii was a state.
Sold for $10,000?! That's too cheap! The islands are worth way more than that! But of course that was back then
It was also money paid to someone who had no right to sell the island out from under the feet of its inhabitants. A clash of cultures in which the Hawaiians were disgracefully deprived of their rights.
10,000$ ....in promissory notes.... so in other words kaka wipes! (Toilet paper)
So way back wen ..... hmmmm I'd say probably same amount da piles of shit as now!?
@@vaughnvaughn9965 what are you on about. King Kamehameha V (a Hawaiian) sold the island. He owned all the islands well before statehood.
@@zedwpd - How can you sell what is not yours? Can Trump sell the US before he leaves office?
Thanks for all the negativ votes it proves all my elders points on colonial apropriation mentality. overpaid overpriviledged overentitled citizens
It sounds like the inhabitants of Niihau have no freedom.
They live as native Hawaiians… it’s. It that they have no freedom
All the islands belong to the original blood descendants of the islandz. Easy for houlie to take over and claim caretaking and vacation culture while indigenous peepl live in poverty everywhere they arrived
So a white family owns this island. ?? Just asking?? Cuz the last name robinson.... 🤔 Seems odd
This video is just photo pictures. I didn't watch the whole thing cuz it's boring. How did you "legally" land on the island, other than the fact you just happened to have alot of money to rent or have a helicopter to go places?
He got a formal invitation. He said that.
I get my own meat ........nahola
A pristine island with beaches full of garbage? No thanks.
Yts being yts appropriating from land that didn't belong to them!
clean up that dump , and take that ridickolus hard hat off
Dat dump is from trash that drifted there dummy
These Robinsons sound shady
Actually they are not......
Don’t ask me why
-/terrible pictures looks like poloroid camera
Wiki says the people on the island voted 100% for Trump in 2020 and 80% in 2016....think about that!
I've been setting aside some money. How much for the whole chain?
Maybe the US should sell it all to China. The British got NZ and Oz,
etc. French got Tahiti, blah blah blah, Japan took over from the native
Ainu, same story pretty much everywhere. Primitive cultures get
screwed, I'm afraid that's how it works. The upside is for natives is
indoctrination, dogma, pigeon english (cuz who wants to sound white and
educated) and a lifetime of practicing victimology.
So many one sided views here, you guys don't get out much
Maybe china can jus 3D print their own china chain an sell it to highest bidder plus charge triple tarriffs.... tarriffic! Hahaha
ehh...its old and semi racist
Lots of misinformation here. The law is 100% clear. There are no private islands that can prohibit beach access. Period. From the State Laws (Hawaii): The public has a right of access along the beaches and shorelines in the State situated below the "upper reaches of the wash of the waves." (HRS §§ 115-4, 115-5, Revised 2010). So Niihau is not "forbidden".
It should stay forbidden!
Corporation of America setup by the Federal Reserve banking cartel has taken over state and federal, so tell me how does this illusion of a system benefit anyone when most of the middle class is being dissolved slowly.
This island was sold by King Kamehameha V BEFORE statehood.
The deal stands. It's private property.
Grandfathered in, because it predates the involvement of the US government.
@@ACEDIAMOND666 No; the laws of the United States apply to Niihau. It's not a foreign country. Maybe go back to high school and pay attention to history and US laws.
you shouldn't need "approval"
the robinson's should not be exempt from state law that provides access to all beaches.
something needs to be done about the beach ASAP!
check my video on the trash...
So the Robinson's ownership BEFORE Hawaii was even a state and you think it should pertain to them? You can't make a law "after the fact" personal property had been decided.
@@zedwpd There were many land owners that claimed ownership of the beaches, mostly on Oahu. seagrant.soest.hawaii.edu/public-access-rights/
Bottom line: If they claim absolute isolated access to these beaches that are natural environments to Monk seals and Sea turtles, then they need to take care of the beaches. People have tried to access the beach to clean up the endless trash, but have been turned away.
If you haven't seen it with your own eyes like I have, you really don't have a valid opinion on the matter.
