And in addition to 'Olelo on O'ahu, Voices of Truth now airs weekly on Ho'ike Television on Kaua'i and Akaku on Maui/Molokai.

Due to the subject matters' critical timeliness, "Travels To Foreign Lands," will air once again this week on 'Olelo Saturday, September 4th at 8 PM.

In it, we recount the participation and contributions of Hawaiians at the Third Annual Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues at the United Nations as well as the substance of our, until now, closed door meetings on Capitol Hill this last May.

We detail, among other things, our sharing with some of the movers and shakers in US Congress, the broad opposition to the Akaka bill in Hawai'i as well as their responses. If you didn't catch it last week, tune in this Saturday evening.

Coming soon,Voices of Truth will indeed start airing on both sides of Hawai'i Island.
