DESTRUCTION & DECEIT OF FEDERAL RECOGNITION ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
We debut part two this week of "A Violation Of Trust – A Voices Of Truth Special Report."
Those of you who have seen part one, know the Gwich’in, Native people from Alaska, recount the destruction and deceit they have encountered as a result of federal recognition.
Part two continues with a message that is sure to shake our viewers to the very core of their being – how the lives of the Gwich’in have been assaulted and sabotaged from every aspect – but especially their health and well-being.
It’s a show not to be missed - the outcomes are as dangerous as they are final.
We then we continue our focus with "The Truth About Federal Recognition - A Visit With David Ingham - Part Two."
David shares his concerns and insights about the Akaka bill from a moral and legal standpoint, and paints a picture that is no less frightening.
Finally, because of the outpouring of response from our viewers, we’ll be airing a one hour special, Native Voices Speak Out – A Voices Of Truth Special Report,” later this month starting on `Olelo television on O`ahu.
This sixty minute special presentation, which will eventually air on all islands, contains information and interviews we were not able to include in our two half hour segments.
In it you’ll hear never before revealed information that even the staunchest supporters of federal recognition will be unable to ignore.
Stayed tuned for broadcast times and dates to be announced soon.
Once again giving you the information you need to make your own decisions, right here on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

"The Truth About Federal Recognition - A Visit With David Ingham - Part Two."
We continue our visit in San Francisco with David Ingham, one of the world's foremost authorities on federal recognition.
David shares with us vital and startling information regarding how any passage of federal recognition will affect the people of Hawai`i.
David's depth of knowledge of both the immediate and long-range effects of this legislation is a real eye-opener and reminds us all to be maka'ala (vigilant) like never before.
Given that an attempt will be made once again to pass the "Akaka Bill" this year in the US Congress, this is a show that no one should miss.
Like the first, part two of this interview is packed with powerful and revealing information. Don’t miss it.

"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.

"A Violation Of Trust - Part One - A Voices Of Truth Special Report."
At their conference in Honolulu last August, the Council For Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA) invited several representatives of federally recognized Native American tribes and Alaska Native Corporations to promote the economic benefits of federal recognition and oil drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge.
When the Gwich'in, the native people who actually live on that land asked to participate in the discussions, the CNHA refused their request.
Not to be silenced, the Gwich'in did come to Honolulu and, with help from their many Hawai`i supporters, presented panel discussions and an Artic Film Festival at the State Capitol.
They also rented a conference room close to the CNHA convention to share the truth with all who would listen.
What they revealed was stunning.
A proud and self-sufficient people, the Gwich'in refuse to allow the violation of their natural environment.
They recount their life of poverty and deprivation under federal recognition and their constant battles with the US federal government and alien economic opportunists.
It has become clearly apparent that certain individuals within the CNHA have been secretly working with senators from both Alaska and Hawai`i to promote drilling in the ANWR, against the wishes of the Gwich'in, and also to force federal recognition here in Hawai`i - for personal gain.
In this emotionally charged segment, hear the truth for yourself - what the CNHA has tried to hide as Alaskan Natives describe how oil is destroying their physical and spiritual health and their traditional lives. Hear the disastrous effects of federal recognition on these special people.
SATURDAY, April 8th At 8:00 PM - O`ahu - 'Olelo, Channel 53
