“Why are Hawaiians the most houses people in Hawaii? What role does the state of Hawaii and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands play?

“Also on the July Free Hawaii News, we interview Hawaiian elite athlete and master martial artist Dr. Kumu Michelle Manu, PhD about her recent article, ʻWhy Are we Not Teaching People How To Become Kupuna?ʻ Michelle talks about the difference between growing older and becoming kupuna,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.

Hawaiian historian and writer Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp reports on his recent trip to Great Britain and Scotland and the connection between Hawaii. Then our Foreign Affairs Report reveals how the US fooled the UN into thinking Hawaii is part of the US.

JUNE FREE HAWAII NEWS - IS STRIVING FOR SOVEREIGNTY SELFISH?


Then How Molokai Residents Are Taking Their Land Back. Also Is The US Trying To White-Wash Hawaiian History By Combining Them With Asian Americans? Plus Why Diplomacy Is The Secret Ingredient For A Free Hawaii & A New Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o Asks Does Being Hawaiian Give You Hawaiian Knowledge?
 
The June 2026 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight Friday, June 5th airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com

“Does the word aloha mean just to give & give? How do we achieve alignment today with our cultural values with intentional balance? And how do we live inside a system that penalizes us for practicing those very cultural values? And is striving for sovereignty selfish? These are some of the questions we ask Dr. Michelle Manu, PhD, a Hawaiian elite athlete, a master of Lua and other martial arts and an educator. We promise a fascinating and eye-opening conversation with her.”

“Also on the June Free Hawaii News, we visit with Zhantell Dudoit Lindo of the Molokai Heritage Trust about their goal of buying back fifty-five thousand acres of Hawaiian lands from a foreign corporation which had planned to built luxury homes. What we discovered is an exciting community led and highly driven land back mission the likes of which we have never seen before,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.

“We also interview Hawaiian historian and writer Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp about how Asian-Americans, native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders came to be lumped together over time by many historians, yet each group has such a distinct culture and history of how they arrived in Hawaii. Adam shares his amazing answers and insights,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.

Finally, a new Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o asks if being Hawaiian automatically gives one Hawaiian knowledge.

“We tackle a potentially game-changing question - what impact will AI have on our cultural knowledge that has been passed down for centuries from individual to individual? What will happen if AI captures and discloses sacred Hawaiian knowledge to anyone? We talk with Kumu Lua Michelle Manu about these hugely important ramifications - how can we  make sure that AI does not destroy our centuries-old ways of handing down our priceless knowledge to those trained to hold and protect it?” asks Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.

“Also on the May Free Hawaii News, we interview renown Kumu Hula Patrick Makuakane, director and choreographer of ʻKamalehua - The Sheltering Treeʻ a new and first of its kind opera which tells the story of Hawaiian patriot Timoteo Ha`alilio whose remarkable achievements caused Hawaii to become recognized as a sovereign country by the great European powers of the 1800ʻs ,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.

We also interview Hawaiian historian and writer Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp about why women warriors are mostly left out of Hawaiian history and then examine the importance of food sovereignty.

The April 2026 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight Friday, April 3rd airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com
 
 “Itʻs been almost three years since the Lahaina fires and when we heard that the Lahaina Community Land Trust had been looking into how ‘āina has changed hands since then, we spoke with them to see what they have discovered,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.
 
“Also on the April Free Hawaii News, Leon and I discuss how important the Pacific Way is in times of tragedies. We take a close look at the importance of first responders and who they actually were when the flood waters started rising. Hawai`iʻs first responders may not be who you think they are and itʻs what makes Hawai`i so special,” remarked Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.
 
Then in a fascinating interview with Miki`ala Pescaia we take a look at traditional Hawaiian death practices and in his report Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp explains why the Hawaiian Homes program is a trap.

Plus Why Las Vegas Is Not Our Ninth Island. Then Why Does Tourismʻs Impact On Our Communities Always Get Hidden? What Makes Great Pacific Islands Leadership? Also The Importance Of Asking The Right Questions. And A Brand New Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o Asks What Are Manaleo Speakers & Why Are They So Special? 

The March 2026 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight, March 6th airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at http://FreeHawaiiNews.com

“Te Tiriti O Waitangi or the Treaty Of Waitangi affirms the independence and rights of the Maori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa, or what westerners refer to as New Zealand. Yet, the history of Aotearoa has been marked by repeated failures of New Zealandʻs colonial government to honor those promises. Because itʻs similar to what happened to kanaka maoli here in Hawaii, a delegation of Ka Lāhui Hawaii members travelled to Aotearoa to learn how the Maori are responding,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.

“Also on the March Free Hawaii News we take on a current popular saying that Las Vegas is our ninth island. We speak with Hawaiian author and historian Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp who not only reminds us that Las Vegas is the home to indigenous people there, but explains who they are, their history and how we as kanaka maoli should conduct ourselves when we visit their native land that the western world calls Las Vegas,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.

Then in a fascinating interview with Ramsay Taum, we examine why tourismʻs impact on our local communities always gets hidden and in our Pacific Way segment we look at what constitutes great leadership throughout our greater Pacific Islands.

Finally, Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o segment asks what are Manaleo speakers and why are they so special?
