DEATH OF A DREAM BECAUSE OTHERS SCHEME ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE”
Keoki Fukumitsu always wanted to be a kalo farmer.
After all, thatʻs what he was trained to do from a child, since his ancestors had been growing kalo or taro on the same land from time immemorial.
But now Keokiʻs dream is in serious jeopardy as developers and others are now closing in to evict Keoki and his family off their ancestral lands - all because they stand to make millions through commercial development.
Keokiʻs life and story is an amazing one and he shares it with us in detail as what life as Kaloman is like, including threats of eviction he now faces.

HIS FARM MAY BE IN HARM ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE”
You would think Keoki Fukumitsu, who has dedicated his life to helping and serving others through farming and cultivation of kalo or taro, the staple Hawaiian diet, would receive some thanks and maybe even an award or two.
Instead, he and his family, who have been on their land for over seven generations farming taro, making poi and feeding others are now in danger of losing it all.
Developers and others are attempting to gain title to his land because itʻs worth money and lots of it.
Keoki looks at his land and sees the taro he grows through his own back breaking work which enables him to feed his family and others in the local community.
Developers and others look at his land and they see fistfuls of dollars.
When we heard what was going on we went out to meet Keoki and find out why they call him the “Kaloman.”
What we discovered amazed us - not only a real life picture of how itʻs been done for thousands of years, but also a prime example of how to create a sustainable Hawai`i for the future.
