MAKING WAVES PAVING OVER GRAVES ON VOICES OF TRUTH – ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I’S FUTURE

Would you let someone build a house over your grandparent’s grave if they paid you enough? Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?

That’s exactly what’s happening on Kaua`i. There are thirty documented graves where a millionaire developer from California has been trying to build a – you guessed it – beach front vacation house on top of an ancient Hawaiian cemetery.

Up to now the Kaua`i Burial Council has not allowed it to proceed. But recently state officials gave the go-ahead. What can be done to stop this outrageous desecration? Find out this coming Wednesday on Free Hawai`i TV.

Is there a big difference between native speakers of Hawaiian and that taught in schools? In one of our most popular recent shows, native speaker Keao NeSmith gives us that answer and a whole lot more. Catch him all this week on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

“Traditional Hawaiian – A Visit With Keao NeSmith”

What happens when a language dies? Is the Hawaiian taught in schools really that different from Hawaiian spoken by native speakers? It took Keao writing a breakthrough Master’s thesis to find out. In our visit, Keao separates fact from fiction, and explains why the history of our islands comes alive every time Hawaiian is spoken - Watch It Here
