EXPERTS AT GETTING THE WORD OUT ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
We all know how important getting the word out is.
This week we're pleased to feature individuals who do that in very different ways - through the written word, the electronic word or internet, and as importantly through the human voice in chants.
So here's our schedule this week for Voices Of Truth - One-On-One With Hawai`i's Future -
MONDAY, August 8th - On Na Leo Television, channel 54, on both sides of Hawai'i island at 7:00 PM
"Defiant Hawaiian - A Visit With Dr. Jon Kamakawiwo`ole Osorio."
In this second new segment of our new season, Jon shares with us his own awakening as Kanaka Maoli, how it was passed down in his family, his becoming a professor of Hawaiian history and eventually head of Kamakakuokalani, the Center For Hawaiian Studies at the University of Hawai`i.
Jon also reveals background of what went into writing his groundbreaking book, "Dismembering Lahui - A History of the Hawaiian Nation to 1887," and how what occurred during that period in Hawai`i is repeating itself today in the push to extinguish Hawaiian rights through federal recognition.
This segment is a fascinating and inspiring story of one of the most accomplished Kanaka Maoli role models of our time. Don't miss it.
WEDNESDAY, August 10th - On Akaku, Channel 53 at 6:30 PM
"Coming Out And Overcoming - A Visit With Hinaleimoana Wong." Another of our new second season segments.
Hina Wong is not only a charter schoolteacher, powerful cultural practitioner of hula and oli [chants,] but also a role model whose path, as transgender, has been uniquely different.
Hina shares with us the obstacles she overcame in order to find not only herself, but her place of active involvement and contribution in creating a better Hawai`i.
Hina reveals how courage and commitment are key to overcoming most anything. A truly inspirational segment to watch!
