From Mauna Kea To Capitol Hill -
This Week On "Voices Of Truth"

Our show segments this week on Voices of Truth - One-on-One With Hawai'i's Future cover many fascinating topics.

Coming this Wednesday, Sept. 8th for viewers on Maui and Molokai's on Akaku, Visions - Channel 53 at 6:30 PM is "Why Independence?" - a lively discussion of what's really at stake regarding Hawaiian Independence. The answers may surprise you.

Then on Ho'ike - Channel 52 on Kaua'i, it's "Perpetuating Makahiki - A Time Of Peace - An Interview With Kapono Souza." Those of you who have not yet seen this amazing young Kanaka Maoli role model speak about his mission and passion for the movement will be able to this coming Thursday, Sept. 9th at 8:30 PM.

Voices of Truth airs four times this week on 'Olelo on O'ahu. They are as follows -

Wednesday, Sept 8th at 6:30 PM and Sunday, Sept 12th at 10 AM - "Travels To Foreign Lands." 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 haven't caught it yet, here's two chances to do so this coming week.

Saturday, Sept 11th at 8 PM - "Malo On Mauna Kea - An Interview With Keoni Choy." Keoni, a cultural practitioner, Na Koa member, and dedicated activist, shares with us the cultural importance of his fascinating treks to the top of Mauna Kea.

Sunday, Sept 12th at 10:30 AM - "Perpetuating Makahiki - A Time Of Peace - An Interview With Kapono Souza."

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.
