VERDICT IS IN - THE PEOPLE CAN WIN ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
The people of Kaua`i have achieved a great victory.
Huge numbers of residents turned out to confront occupation officials, including Linda Lingle, at the Kaua`i Memorial Building to say “No” to the Superferry.
The people’s voice and desire for the future of their island has been heard and allowed, however reluctantly.
While those who place profits before people will no doubt make further attempts to force the Superferry on the people of Hawai`i, an important lesson has been learned - the will of the people can win.
But why should it be such a struggle?
Is there a way in which residents desires about how they want the future of Hawai`i to be the rule rather than the exception?
Yes – a Free Hawai`i.
In a Free Hawai`i Hawaiian cultural values will be placed first so decisions made actually benefit residents rather than stockholders of multi-national corporations headquartered many thousands of miles away.
The Superferry fight is not over yet, but the important lesson learned is what’s best for Hawai`i and it’s people can be victorious.
A big mahalo to all who have let us know how much you enjoy our new show with Maurice Majors and his dedication to the preservation of Kaua`i`s past.
Proof once again that people of all types and backgrounds are dedicated to creating a brighter future for everyone right here on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

“From The Atlantic To The Pacific – A Visit With Maurice Major"
Maurice “Mo” Major was born and raised very far from Hawai`i - on the Atlantic side of the North American continent in Virginia.
After graduating with a degree in anthropology, Mo and his college sweetheart began their married life in Hawai`i, the most remote location they could travel to without a passport, way out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Holding an archaeology permit from the State Historic Preservation Division, Mo specializes in research, stabilization and preservation of ancient Hawaiian sites.
His passion is the stunning beauty of remote and historically significant Nu`alolo Kai valley on the Na Pali coast of Kaua`i and his real gift is making the ancient past of Nu`alolo Kai come alive right before your eyes.
Mo’s been involved with Nu`alolo Kai archaeological work and Na Pali Coast `Ohana since 1996, and is primary author of both the archaeological inventory report and preservation plan for this amazing site.
Even when family obligations required Mo’s return to the family homestead in Virginia, he continued volunteering with Na Pali Coast `Ohana - collaborating by internet on short and long-term strategies, plans and reports.
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to go back in time to the days of ancient Hawai`i, don’t miss our incredible visit with Mo as we travel with him into Na Pali Coast Park, a breathtaking wilderness area on the north shore of the island of Kaua`i, along 12 miles of undeveloped shoreline. It’s a trip you’ll never forget.

“Kuleana Focus - A Visit With Mikiala Ayau-Pescaia”
If you've ever wondered why Molokai people are so special, here's your answer.
In Mikiala, we find one of those individuals who's an early achiever. As the Molokai coordinator for Na Pua No`eau, this young makuahine (woman) is a superb educator and academic culturalist.
We're sure it will be as obvious to you as it is to us how much she treasures her culture and how she puts those treasures to work each and every day.
Be sure and tune in for this one as Mikiala shares her gems of wisdom with us, and see for yourself how each of us can discover our own kuleana (area of responsibility) to create a better future for Hawai`i.
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.
