MONDAY, November 14th - On Na Leo Television, channel 54, on both sides of Hawai'i island at 7:00 PM
"Online Activism - A Visit With Scott Crawford."
Just how large a role do computers and the world wide web play today in educating others about our future ?
Our own Scott Crawford shares with us how he is able to effectively spread the word about Independence for Hawai`i throughout the world via the internet and why this is fast becoming the single most powerful tool that freedom activists now have.
If you've ever wondered if one person can make big difference without leaving their homes, this is the show to watch!
WEDNESDAY, November 16th - 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 [Native Hawaiian] 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 and very special voyage.
THURSDAY , November 17th - On Ho`ike, Channel 52 at 8:30 PM
"Perpetuating Makahiki - A Time Of Peace - A Visit With Kapono Souza."
How important is it to observe Kanaka Maoli 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.
Because it really is true that when a person dedicates themselves to something, what they get for it is nothing compared to what they become because of it.

SATURDAY, November 19th - On 'Olelo this Saturday at 8 PM.
"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.
