THROUGH THE EYES OF EXPERIENCE THIS WEEK ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE

We feature segments this week highlighting two long time residents of Hawai`i, one Native Hawaiian, the other not. Yet both, Bumpy Kanahele and Steven Boggs, are advocates of Independence.

What's fascinating is that even though they took very different paths, they both arrived at the same conclusion.

So be sure and catch their fascinating message this week on Voices Of Truth - One-On-One With Hawai`i's Future -

MONDAY, August 22nd - On Na Leo Television, channel 54, on both sides of Hawai'i island at 7:00 PM
"Anthropology-An Hawaiian Journey - A Visit With Steven Boggs."


Retired University of Hawai`i anthropology professor Steven Boggs, a long time resident, as well as a strong supporter of Independence for Hawai`i reveals what led him to that view.

He talks about his early years, visiting schools in Nanankuli and what 6 year old students taught him about being Native Hawaiian and living under a foreign occupation.

Professor Boggs relates the dispossession of Native Hawaiians he has witnessed, what causes it, and most importantly, what we all can do about it.
