COMMAND PERFORMANCE - JOURNEY WITH HAWAI`I'S QUEEN ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE

Is `Iolani Palace just a museum today, or still the seat of government of Hawai`i? Is Queen Lili`uokalani a relic of 100 years ago, or an important figure whose words and wisdom guide and lead us today?
