AN ATTITUDE FOR ACTION ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
How many of us have ever had the thought, "time has passed me by?"
If "I'm too old for that," or "let someone younger do it" has ever been your excuse, then think again.
This week our shows all feature people with missions who come from various walks of life, but none more inspiring to us than Uncle Jimmy Kimokea.
A respected Kaua`i kupuna (elder,) we don't think Uncle Jimmy has actually ever stopped to think he might be too old for anything.
Wherever we go, we almost always see him showing up with a smile on his face and an attitude for action, willing to help lead the way.
Just another "doer" who the years have only made better to inspire you into action on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i's Future.
MONDAY, April 17th At 7:00 PM & FRIDAY, April 21st At 5:30 PM - Hawai`i Island - Na Leo, Channel 54

Join Jimmy as he shares details and photos of his trip to New Zealand, and even a cruise where he found a new wife!
Don't miss this unique opportunity to sit down and visit with a revered kupuna who teaches us all that age is simply a state of mind.

"Hawaiian Independence At The United Nations - Part One"
In this first part of a brand new two-part series, Koani Foundation Director Kai`opua Fyfe, during a break in proceedings at the UN, relates his experiences of what happened when he went to Capitol Hill in Washington, DC this last spring and attempted to testify against the Akaka bill.
With Senator John McCain chairing the Senate Hearings, what Kai`opua found was that only those supporting the bill were scheduled to speak despite his numerous attempts to be included.
But, while no negative testimony was allowed, Kai`opua did see and hear some very eye opening things that will definitely surprise you.
Be sure and sit down with your entire `ohana (family) and catch this unique first person account of what it's like to be a part of a US Senate hearing, along with some of the most powerful people in the US in the same room attempting to stack the deck their way once more.

"Unsettled Spirit - A Visit With Bumpy Kanahele."
We feature one of Hawai`i's long time sovereignty fighters, and founder of both Pu`uhonua O Waimanalo and Nation of Hawai`i.
Bumpy shares with us an aspect of himself that not everyone knows; what got him involved in creating a better future for the people of Hawai`i.
We promise you'll want more as Bumpy tells how his years growing up actually helped to mold him as a leader today who is both strong and wise.
Filmed on location at Pu`uhonua O Waimanalo, Bumpy is 100% inspiration in a setting of stunning beauty and also an example of what all of Hawai`i could be.

"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, 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.
Those not in Hawai`i wishing to view the series may do so by visiting www.olelo.org and then clicking "NAT-Channel 53." A screen should then display allowing you to see the show via live streaming.
Please refer to the `Olelo television programming notes above for segment times and titles.
