FREE HAWAI`I TV IS HERE ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE

Requests we receive frequently regard the availability of accurate information and timely news about a Free Hawai`i.

“If I believed what I read in the daily newspapers, I would conclude Hawai`i’s citizens are happy with things exactly the way they are. But I know different. Nearly everyone I speak with is asking about Independence these days.”

“I stopped believing what they print in the Office of Hawaiian Affairs newspaper years ago.”

“Kau Inoa and their Native Hawaiian governing entity is just another attempt to shove federal recognition down our throats. I hate it.”


“How come we almost never see stories about real Hawaiian issues on our local television stations right here in Hawai`i? You’d think we don’t even exist as a people. It’s really shameful.”

Well, we could go on and on, but you get the point.

“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 (Native Hawaiian) with deep roots in North Kona, Moku o Keawe (Hawai`i Island) 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.

“A Journey Of Occupation – A Visit With Andre Perez”

What would it be like to be in the US military for eight years, then find yourself living on the streets?

That’s what happened to Andre Perez who went from one extreme to another.

And from the streets, he found his way into the Kaho`olawe occupation, which, by his own accounts, was a life-changing experience.

It had to be because Andre’s never at a loss for words when it comes to defending his people that led him to the next chapter of his life.

Currently the spokesperson for Hui Pu, as well as a Halau Lokahi teacher, Andre found himself in the middle of yet another occupation – the dramatic taking of `Iolani Palace by Hui Pu to publicly oppose the Akaka bill.

As we look to the future of Hawai`i, we’re sure you’ll agree with us that Andre and others like him will play a prominent role in it.

Don’t miss our visit with Andre who’s part of the new generation of warriors who are as fearless as they are articulate. You’ll see why he’s a role model for the `opio (youth) of today as well as a leader for tomorrow.
