How important is it to observe Kanaka Maoli [Native Hawaiian] cultural practices today? If you've ever asked yourself this question, then this is the segment to watch as Kapono Souza shares some answers that may surprise you.
Those of you who have not seen this amazing young Kanaka Maoli role model speak about his mission and passion for the culture and the movement are in for a real treat.

WEDNESDAY, November 2nd - On Akaku, Channel 53 at 6:30 PM
"Kupuna Islands - A Visit With Sabra Kauka."
In a very unique and already popular new second season segment, Kaua'i resident Sabra Kauka takes us along on the 2005 Educators Expedition to the Kupuna (Ancestor) Islands, also known as the Northwest Hawaiian Islands.
A Hawaiian cultural practitioner and educator, Sabra was one of only ten Hawai’i educators selected for this “first-of it’s-kind” opportunity, where the environment of the Kupuna Islands is very beautiful, but also very fragile.
Sabra reports, "It’s our kuleana (responsibility) to protect this environment because it's the nursery for the younger, inhabited Hawaiian Islands. We Kanaka Maoli are spiritually, genealogically, and culturally linked to these Kupuna.”
Well, naturally, we had to sit down with her and get the whole story in amazing and beautiful pictures and words.
Don't miss this incredible opportunity as she shares highlights and photos on this spiritual aand very special voyage.

"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.
