SUPERFERRY BATTLE LINES ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE

With the Superferry set to sail to Maui December first, the battle lines have now been drawn.


While Linda Lingle and her cohorts may have temporarily succeeded in circumventing US law, she has certainly not defeated the people who live here and love their land.

Ironically, the more chicanery they attempt, the more people they turn off.

The Hawai`i State Auditor has now gotten into the act wanting to know how the entire Superferry fiasco was pulled off.

Naturally the Lingle administration is being less than forthcoming with answers.

This Wednesday on FreeHawaiiTV you can learn more about what they’ve been trying to get away with and how you can help stop them.

And over the next few weeks we’ll bring you updates on FreeHawaiiTV as events unfold as the Superferry attempts to return to the neighbor islands.

Mahalo nui to everyone who let us know how much you enjoy our new show we debuted last week with Hina Wong.

Hina’s a remarkable Kanaka Maoli in more ways than one. We can all learn from her tireless energy and focus on creating a better future for Hawai`i and it’s people.

We have her show airing on all islands this week, so pull up a chair, and check out one of Hawai`i’s most inspiring role models right here on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

“Out Of The Box – A Visit With Hinaleimoana Wong”

Since she was last on Voices Of Truth Hina Wong has been, well, busy.

An educator at two charter schools in Hawai`i, Hina delivers the kind of education students crave – and can get virtually nowhere else.

“You don’t have to go far from home to be successful,” is the message she gives her students at Halau Lokahi charter school on O`ahu and another one on the island of Ni`ihau.

Teaching Hawaiian cultural values, she helps her students answer the question, who are we as Hawaiians?

Yet don’t for a minute think it’s only native Hawaiians, as students of all ethnicities attend because, as Hina reminds us, her schools mirror the multicultural population of the independent Hawaiian nation before it was illegally overthrown.

The impact her curriculum has had on her students is both profound and lasting. For the first time they see they don’t have to assimilate to be successful.

Bring your entire `ohana together and watch our visit with Hina as she reminds us the children of Hawai`i really don’t have to go and live somewhere else to make it economically. As she herself says, “we want our people to live and thrive right here.”

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.
