HAWAIIAN ENTERTAINER, EDUCATOR AND ACTIVIST INTERVIEWED ON 'OLELO TELEVISION ON O'AHU

Mahalo to all who have contacted us regarding “Voices of Truth,” the Koani Foundation’s pro Independence television show now airing on 'Olelo Saturday evenings at 8:30 PM HST as well as other times during the week.

We certainly did not anticipate all of the positive feedback via emails and phone calls we’ve received and are gratified the show has so many loyal viewers in the short time it has been on the air.

The series interviews activists in the Hawaiian Independence movement to discover what made them go from armchair observers to active participants in the hopes of inspiring viewers to do the same.

This week’s show, "Build A Canoe? It Takes A Community,” features entertainer, educator and activist Leon Siu, interviewed by Koani Foundation director Kai’opua Fyfe.

The show will air tomorrow evening, the 17th at 7:30 PM, Saturday evening, the 19th at 8:30 PM, and again on Sunday the 20th at both 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

Also on Sunday 'Olelo will air last week’s segment, “From Fisherman To Activist - An Interview With Isaac Harp,” at 1:30 PM. Isaac does an outstanding job and we have received much positive feedback on what he had to say.

Those not on the island of O'ahu wishing to view the series may do so by visiting www.olelo.org and then clicking "NATV-Channel 53.” A screen should then display allowing you to see the show via live streaming.

All air times are Hawai'i Standard Time.
