VOICES OF TRUTH AIRS THE REAL RESPONSE ON CAPITOL HILL TO THE AKAKA BILL

THIS WEEKS PROGRAM REVEALS US CONGRESSIONAL REACTION TO FEDERAL RECOGNITION FOR NATIVE HAWAIIANS

We're pleased to let everyone know that Voices of Truth - One-on-One With Hawai'i's Future can now be viewed worldwide on the internet on www.villageaccess.com.

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.

Our show this week on 'Olelo is both brand new and very significant. "Travels To Foreign Lands," airs this Saturday, the 28th 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 the US Congress, the broad opposition to the Akaka bill in Hawai'i as well as their responses. You won't hardly believe your ears at what they had to say. This is one that, as the saying goes, you'll want to tell your neighbors about.

Then "Perpetuating Makahiki - An Interview With Kapono Souza," will air on Akaku ,Visions - Channel 53 on Maui, Wednesday, the 25th at 6:30 PM.

Ho'ike on Kaua'i will air "From Fisherman To Activist - An Interview With Isaac Harp." on Thursday the 26th at 8:30 PM.

And yes, Voices of Truth will indeed start airing shortly on both sides of Hawai'i Island.

Voices of Truth 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.

Those not in Hawai'i 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, or anytime at www.villageaccess.com All show times listed above are Hawai'i Standard Time (HST.)

There's more new segments of Voices of Truth in the final stages of post production. Look for them airing soon.
