I am deaf and I was born and raised in Hawai'i, but with no Hawaiian ancestry. I still have my highest respect in Hawaiian values and culture. When I heard about this TV series by Jason Momoa, I was thrilled to watch. But once I started watching, I was looking around to turn on the subtitles because I am deaf. To my astonishment, I discovered the Hawaiian subtitles!! Luckily, I took the elementary Hawaiian classes at Kapi'olani CC, and to satisfy my curiosity, I turned on the subtitles in Hawaiian and... it gave me goosebumps!! By seeing the subtitles in true Hawaiian language, I was able to read and understood some of them. Incredible!!! I'm excited to be able to watch this with subtitle options being shown in English and Hawaiian. Mahalo, Jason Momoa and the entire crew behind this TV series and Apple TV for this amazing feat!
