The February 2026 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight Friday, February 6th airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at http://FreeHawaiiNews.com
“With recent threats of US plans to invade Greenland we take a look at what Hawaii has in common with Greenland and the results are guaranteed to surprise a lot of people. Hawaiian historian and author Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp reports on what he has discovered in examining both cultures as well as similarities in how both have been at risk. Our interview with Adam is a real eye-opener and not to be missed,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.
“Also on the February Free Hawaii News we travel to Iao Valley on Maui to visit with Hawaiian cultural artist Meleanna Aluli Meyer to find out what a pewa is and why it plays such an important role in Hawaiian culture in healing and our relationships,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.
“Then in our United Nations report we confront a curious dilemma - Have Hawaiians been asking the wrong questions on the world stage in our ongoing attempt to resolve our national status? And could that have an effect on how Hawaiians see themselves as citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom rather than as Americans?”
Finally Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o segment takes a look at whether a personʻs bloodline alone should give them special respect and treatment in Hawaii.
