Sometimes some individuals and their message touch people deeply.

Such a person is Alex Pua'a.

So many of you have told us how moved you were by this Moloka`i resident's amazing philosophy of life and existence.

We are pleased to debut this week some wonderful, never before seen footage of our earlier visit with Alex.

Hina Wong is not only a charter schoolteacher, powerful cultural practitioner of hula and oli, 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!

WEDNESDAY, September 28th - On Akaku, Channel 53 at 6:30 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 Kanaka Maoli and living under a foreign occupation.

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

Don't miss this inspirational message from an educator who not only has witnessed the past, but has a message of hope for the future.

SATURDAY, October 1st - On 'Olelo this Saturday at 8 PM
"Ancient Mana`o For A Pono Future - A Visit With Alex Pua`a - Revisited."

One of our most popular shows ever, "Ancient Mana`o For A Pono Future - A Visit With Alex Pua`a," has received more feedback from our viewers than practically any other segment.

When we taped Alex, we ended up with far more footage than we could use. So we have re-edited a new version to include never before seen footage.

Both a spiritual and cultural practitioner, Alex shares unique and moving spiritual and cultural values that underpin the Hawaiian culture.


Like the original one, this new segment has a timeless feel to it as knowledge that is beyond time is revealed.

"Voices of Truth" interviews those creating a better future for Hawai`i to discover what made them go from armchair observers to active participants in the hopes of inspiring viewers to do the same.
