HAWAI`I'S BEST & BRIGHTEST ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE

Mahalo nui to all who let us know how much they enjoyed our brand new segment last week with Manu Meyer.

She’s truly one of the forward thinkers in the Free Hawai`i movement.

Manu, along with others like Junior Kanuha are examples of those who thrive when returning to their roots.

Their mana (insight & energy) is the kind we get when they recognize they are the Nation.

We bow to the many requests we received in the past week for more of both Manu and Junior so you may share these two remarkable individuals with your `ohana (family) and friends.

It’s said the best way to predict the future is to lend a hand in helping shape it and both Manu and Junior obviously know this very well.

So tell everyone you know to tune in and catch two of Hawai`i’s best and brightest this week on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

Programming Change Note - Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future is now seen across Hawai`i Island on Channel 53 on Na Leo.

MONDAY, December 11th At 7:00 PM & FRIDAY, December 15th At 5:30 PM Hawai`i Island – Na Leo, Channel 53
WEDNESDAY, December 13th At 6:30 PM & THURSDAY, December 14th At 6:45 AM Maui – Akaku, Channel 53
“Aloha Is Our Intelligence – A Visit With Manu Aluli Meyer”

“If knowledge is power, then understanding is liberation.”

Manu Myer is not your average educator - or human being for that matter.

Growing up as someone who was much better in the school yard than with school books, Manu quickly developed what few of her teacher’s saw – an incredible intellect and capacity for motivating others.

Today, Manu is in a class all by herself – as comfortable with Hawaiian epistemology and quantum physics as she is with her own ukulele.

Having just returned from a year in Aotearoa (New Zealand) packed with incredible adventures and experiences, she reveals not only what she learned, but why the people and `aina of that placed have so deeply affected her.

Be sure and sit your entire `ohana down and hear Manu as she reveals what quantum physics and indigenous culture have in common, as well as her vision of a Free Hawai`i few of us have ever imagined. We promise this is one Hawai`i Maoli wahine (Native Hawaiian woman) you’ll remember for a long time to come.

THURSDAY, December 14th At 8:30 PM & FRIDAY, December 15th At 8:30 AM Kaua`i – Ho`ike, Channel 52
SATURDAY, December 16th At 8:00 PM O`ahu - ‘Olelo, Channel 53
“Sacred Caretaker – A Visit With Junior Kanuha”

Every now and then we come across someone who feels the call of a place and is moved to do something about it.

Junior Kanuha, Kanaka Maoli with deep roots in North Kona, Moku o Keawe is just such a person.

Waterman, businessman, community activist and energetic supporter of all things Hawaiian, Junior’s made a personal commitment to cleaning up and caring for wahi pana kahiko, ancient sacred sites.

Keolonahihi in North Kona is the place he cares for – both figuratively and literally. Here’s the extraordinary part – no one asked him to.

Junior tells us he’s just following spiritual direction – he says he’s only the gardener, the caretaker, ka hapai opala, the guy who hauls off the trash.

Don’t miss Junior as he explains not only what he does but also why he does it, revealing along the way the history and significance of this extraordinary place of beauty and ancient history.

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.
