SAVE THESE GRAVES ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE”

Itʻs wrong in any culture - desecration of graves and removal of human remains.

But in the Hawaiian culture, disturbing iwi kupuna, or ancestral bones constitutes one of the most serious wrongs that can be done.

While itʻs been going on in Hawai`i for years to make way for shopping malls and resorts, things reached a peak recently when one of Honoluluʻs oldest and most respected Hawaiian christian churches was caught in the act of digging up bones of their own former parishioners to make way for new church social hall.

Worse, the church never bothered to notify the families affected.

Kamuela Kala`i is one of those who discovered her relatives were about to be unearthed so she did they only thing anyone would - she went down there to stop it.

What came next has shaken the Hawaiian community to itʻs core - arrests, a church determined to dig and public protests.

Donʻt miss our brand new interview with Kamuela as she describes what she and others have had to endure in one of our most important and impactful shows ever.

It debuts this week on O`ahu and airs on all islands the following week on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

THESE “FACTS” ARE OFF TRACK ON VOICES OF TRUTH – ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I’S FUTURE

The push is on to get the Akaka bill passed in the upcoming “lame duck” US congressional session after Tuesday’s elections.

Akaka bill proponents know if they don’t succeed now, they probably never will.

Always the one to sell out those they should be protecting, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs has lately been spreading misinformation about the Akaka bill and its effect upon those of Hawaiian ancestry.

Want to make sure you don’t buy their lies? Then watch Free Hawai`i TV this coming Wednesday for the truth they’re not telling and the lies their selling.

Mahalo to everyone who has contacted us to let us know how much you’ve enjoyed our Ha`ena Point visit with Summer. She’s a great example of someone who feels a strong connection to the `aina – the land – and is doing something every single day to protect it.

Want to see the difference one single person can make? Then don’t miss Summer all this week on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

THIS CARETAKER’S A DIFFERENCE MAKER ON VOICES OF TRUTH – ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I’S FUTURE

It’s easy to get discouraged when you see what’s been happening at Ka`ena Point, one of O`ahu most beautiful and sacred shorelines.

Dirt dumped decades ago now polluting tide pools, desecration of ancient Hawaiian burials, and recreational off-roading destroying what’s left of the area.

Yet that’s where we met Summer, one of Ka`ena Point’s self-appointed caretakers.

We quickly discovered Summer is a one-woman force committed to stopping this destruction by educating those doing the damage that Ka`ena Point is one of O`ahu’s most spiritual and sacred areas.

For not only does the area contain ancient unmarked graves, it’s also one of the few leina in Hawai`i - a leaping-off point for souls departing to the afterlife.

Family ties to this area go back countless generations for Summer and now she’s the one stepping forth each day showing that one person can make a very big difference indeed.

She’s got her hands full, but you’ll soon see for yourself why Summer’s just the person to stop this destruction on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.
