IT REAPPEARS AFTER MANY YEARS ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE”
Those who live on islands must have successful land management systems or those who live there will eventually starve and die.
Such was the case with the ahupua`a system in ancient hawaii.
It worked so well that Hawai`i of old was able to sustain a population similar in size to todayʻs and yet no food was imported.
It was all grown locally and it was abundant, healthy and fresh.
Thatʻs why it should come as no surprise the ahupua`a system is making a strong comeback today, and one of those leading the way is Mahealani Cypher.
So if youʻre curious like we were on what this system is, how it works and what it means for the future of Hawai`i, join us in our visit with Mahealani on O`ahuʻs scenic windward side all this week on Hawai`i’s award winningVoices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

A BETTER WAY FOR HAWAI`IʻS LAND IS AT HAND ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE”
Itʻs an interesting fact that the population of pre-contact Hawai`i was about the same as it is today, yet no food was imported and everyone was well fed.

The ahupua`a land management system of old Hawai`i worked well.
Just ask Mahealani Cypher who is one of many dedicated to bringing it back today. We met her in the ahupua`a of Ko`olaupoko on O`ahuʻs windward side where she explained the system, how it works, whatʻs being done to revive it, and most importantly, why.

HE MADE HIS MARK & IGNITED A SPARK ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE”
When Keone Nunes first started investigating the ancient cultural tattoos of old Hawai`i, the first thing he discovered was just a handful of people knew anything about them at all.
The second thing he found out was that no one was doing them. They were virtually a lost art.
As he expanded his research, his hula halau haumana, or students of his hula classes asked if they could get these kind of tattoos.
But who to do the work?
See for yourself, along with stunning examples of his artistry, as we sit down with Keone and hear him describe the fascinating journey that brought him to be Hawai`iʻs premiere cultural tattoo artist today all this week on Hawai`i’s award winningVoices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

Kakau or cultural tattoos in old Hawai`i were highly stylized unique patterns that carried information about the individual, their family and even genealogy. An ancient art done over the centuries with hand-made tools, it was nearly lost forever until Keone Nunes single-handedly revived it. Donʻt miss our amazing visit as Keone takes us inside his studio where he shows us his tools, examples of his work and the age-old process of creating this priceless cultural art he has now brought back to life - Watch It Here
