REMEMBERING HAWAI`IʻS KALOMAN ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"
"Kaloman - A Visit With Keoki Fukumitsu"
His dream had always been to be a kalo or taro farmer. And for seven generations the late Keoki Fukumitsuʻs family has been stewards of their land on O`ahuʻs windward side growing taro, the plant from which poi is made, the staple diet of Hawaiians. Yet in recent years Keoki had been faced with fighting battle after battle in trying to protect his familyʻs property from developers and others. Join us in our visit with Keoki in the beautiful valley of Hakipu`u as this remarkable Hawaiian explained the cultural and environmental importance of taro and see for yourself why they called him the Kaloman.
