NATIVE VOICES SPEAK OUT TO AIR THIS WEEKEND

Television Special Highlights Effects Of Federal Recognition On Native Peoples

We recently debuted A Violation Of Trust - A Voices Of Truth Special Report, that exposed political manipulations to force oil drilling on the Gwich'in the Artic Wildlife National Refuge and the direct connection between this drilling and efforts to force the Akaka bill on Hawai`i.

We filmed far more footage of our interviews with the Gwich'in than we were able to air in our initial two part series.

Since then, we have received countless requests for more - your interest and outrage at the wrongdoings have been clearly heard.

We are pleased to announce a special, Voices Of Truth - Native Voices Speak Out to air on `Olelo television on O`ahu starting this Sunday evening.

In these two, one-hour segments, we share with you the interviews we weren't able to include in our initial series.

Voices Of Truth - Native Voices Speak Out contains brand new, never before seen footage of the Gwich'in as they recount their life of poverty and deprivation under federal recognition and their constant battles with the US federal government and alien economic opportunists.

Here are the show times for `Olelo television, NATV, Channel 53 –

Voices Of Truth - Native Voices Speak Out - Part One
April 23 Sunday - 9:00 AM
April 25 Tuesday - 6:00 PM
