There is no Hawai’i, without Hawaiians & sad reality is, there are more Native Hawaiians out of Hawaii, then in Hawaii | ‘Living Like a Hawaiian’, slowly comes to life! 💓 but first…..
I would like you to meet Brandon, the Deputy Head of State at Nation of Hawaii and someone I was blessed to connect with on this culturally immersive voyage through Native Hawaiians.
Ive met hula dancers, humu hula, farmers, native languages speakers, and activists across the islands. But having time with Brandon within the confines of the 45 acres that are Puuhonua o Waimanalo, showed me a whole new side to Kanaka Maoli, politics! Like the late Haunani Trask said , “sovereighty is Government”, meaning this element of Hawaiian culture and narratives, is just as vital as any other for what is the end goal for: Land Back! ✊🏽
“Living Like A Hawaiian” is a deep years long immersive experience in the cultural elements that thrive today. But it is also very much a documentary like experience into the dark realm of sufferent and pain for Kanaka maoli against the forces of colonialism, militarianism, and 100+ years of anti-aloha aina. All of which have had severe consequences for its indigenous people!💔
Putting this project together has been a struggle in itself from trying to fund it, getting translations late or at all, and simply never doing anything like this before. But I am giving it absolute best for whom it’s intended for, kanaka maoli: both on āina and far and wide! 💚💛
Big mahalos to Bumpy, Brandon, and the Nation of Hawai’i for taking the time for this voyager as what they shared beautifully weaves into 20 other Hawaiians time🌺
