The October 2026 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight, Friday, October 2nd airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com

“The threat of deep sea mining is spreading throughout Oceania. The Trump administration will soon put up for sale areas of our moana, or ocean near American Samoa to companies who will harvest nodules containing rare earth minerals from the ocean floor. We interview activists in both American Samoa and Hawaii about this double threat and the immediate and long-lasting harm,” remarks Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.

“Then in our Pacific Way segment we examine if Hawaiians have the right to defend and protect our `aina or land, our assets and our ancestry. Deep sea mining will surely impact all three of these and once again itʻs up to us as well as others who feel the same way to stand up for our island home and way of life,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu. “Our ocean is not yours to come and give away.”

Also on the October Free Hawaii News, we interview Hawaiian elite athlete and master martial artist Dr. Kumu Michelle Manu, PhD about how Hawaiians in the diaspora can deal with criticism from others and at the same time ways to become sleeper cells of aloha.

Leon Siu also reports on telling the world the story of the restoration of our nation while Hinaleimoana Wong asks “how do you contribute to Hawai`i ?” in a brand new Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o segment.

Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu then presents a not to be missed timeline of the invasion and overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom government.  And also this month we debut a brand new Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o.

Me Return Hawaiian Values? And A Timeline Of The Invasion And Overthrow Of The Hawaiian Kingdom Government You Wonʻt Want To Miss. All This & More Plus Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o.

The September 2026 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight, Friday, September 4th airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com

“Last month we passed the three year mark since the Lahaina fires. Do Hawaiians have any more power now over their lands than before? For years the problem has been outsiders and profit-driven individuals beholden to the American system extracting value for themselves out of our `aina or land. To find out what progress has been made we checked in with Autumn Ness and Kapali Keahi of the Lahaina Community Land Trust and what they said frankly surprised us,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.

“Also on the September Free Hawaii News, we interview Hawaiian elite athlete and master martial artist Dr. Kumu Michelle Manu, PhD about how we as Hawaiians can open our listening and allow our ancestors to speak through us,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu. “We urge everyone not to miss this.”

Plus Hawaiian historian and writer Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp delves into the often heard excuse that the US did everyone a favor by occupying the Hawaiian Islands before Russia, China, or Japan could. He shows why thatʻs false and only the US had plans to invade and topple the Hawaiian Kingdom government.

Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu then presents a not to be missed timeline of the invasion and overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom government.  And also this month we debut a brand new Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o.

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

“Why donʻt American labels fit Hawaiians? Why are Hawaiians always the ʻodd man outʻ in their own homeland? How is it that governmental programs designed to help Hawaiians donʻt deliver those results and actually keep them at the bottom of the economic barrel here in Hawai`i? These are just some of the questions we examine,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.

“Also on the August Free Hawaii News, we interview Hawaiian elite athlete and master martial artist Dr. Kumu Michelle Manu, PhD about her recent article, ʻThe Living Weight Of Kuleana.ʻ Michelle talks about how, in the Hawaiian culture, responsibilities arrive in different ways. Some are chosen while others come through lineage, circumstance, crisis or even calling. But all ask the same question - Will you continue carrying it when it costs you something?,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.

Hawaiian historian and writer Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp explains the difference between aboriginal and indigenous and how Hawaiians can be both at the same time. Both terms have caused a lot of confusion and using them accurately in defining our people is critically important.

And a new Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o in which she shares openly about some of her own issues about her identity she had to work out over time.

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.

 “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.
