SEE THE MAGIC OF KUPUNA ISLANDS ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
Mahalo nui to you all for your many positive comments and feedback on our Kupuna Islands segment featuring Sabra Kauka.
Whether you watched on O`ahu, or saw it online if you live outside of Hawai`i, we're glad you like the show.
We share Kupuna Islands now with the rest of our viewers this week starting with Maui.
As we said, Kaua`i resident Sabra Kauka, who went on the trip, reports, "It’s our kuleana (responsibility) to protect this environment because it's the nursery for the younger, inhabited Hawaiian Islands. We Kanaka Maoli [Native Hawaiian] are spiritually, genealogically, and culturally linked to these Kupuna.”
Well, naturally, we sat down with her and got the whole story in amazing and beautiful pictures and words.
And if you like this, we have a lot more amazing people and places coming your way soon on Voices Of Truth - One-On-One With Hawai`i's Future -

"Woman Of Accomplishment - A Visit With Jackie Kaho`okele Burke."
In`another of our new second season segments, Jackie reminds us of the saying, "If you want something done, just ask a busy person to do it."
As if being publisher of the `Oiwi Files wasn't enough, Jackie has somehow found time to launch a plan for Sovereignty Buses that will travel throughout Hawai`i as well as across the US to educate and spread the message of Kanaka Maoli self-determination.
On top of that, she plans to film a documentary on the project as the buses travel.
And did we mention that she also has not one but two masters degrees as part of her action plan?
We're sure you'll agree that Jackie's a superb role model for making things happen as she shares with us her exciting vision for the future of Hawai`i.
