After over fifty years of development and growth which has been detrimental, more are now focused on the kind that is actually sourced in ways of the Hawaiian culture.
Ways that can actually sustain and nurture rather than deprive and steal from us.
Amy Brinker saw this right away when she discovered after relocating to Hawai`i that it was illegal to sell or even give away hand-pounded poi.
Ikaika Hussey has seen it for years and been involved in trying to change it.
What are both doing today to assure a cure - to make sure we donʻt have more of the same old game? See for yourself all this week on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

“ Indigenizing The Law - A Visit With Amy Brinker”

Comments
Mahalo Ikaika for the truth about one's position on rail. I have great respect for anyone to speak on the side of their truth. And yes, our small farms are dear to our sustainable environment. So true we aloha everyone and sometimes forget out ourselves and from my view in Waianae we don't take care of our children and family in our day to day--on the job.
Is there fairness, I don't think it's a given---I strongly believe it's and up hill battle. I believe that the 'overthrow' was and still is the downward arrow. As for ownership, it's more soul, than sensibility! I stongly believe houses are okay, and I'm oppose to 'density' since the Reagan years! A position I hold dear because our Na Kanaka communities have children that have children and so on... I'm not open for more outsiders coming in to poop our environment while our children need to be educated to live elswhere in the world. Political will or not, we need to still stand firm for our Pacific Islanders to live here and not elsewhere.
