Aloha Maoli World,I wanted to invite you all to come and support an incredible film about Hawaiian Sovereignty called Hawaii A Voice for Sovereignty. It tells a compelling heart felt story about the struggles of Native Hawaiians for sovereignty since the takeover. Its a free screening as part of the Maui Film Festival www.mauifilmfestival.com this Sunday night June 21st at 8pm at the SunDance Theatre at the Solar powered SandDance Theater on Wailea Beach (below the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea).This modern epic documentary, filmed over four years, contains rare interviews with Native Hawaiians in their homes, at sacred sites, in mountains and the rain forests. The movement for cultural, environmental, and economic sustainability, since the takeover in 1893 is spoken in the voice of the Kanaka Maoli. Along with the voices of these people of the land”, Professor Haunani-Kay Trask, Senator J. Kalani English, Grammy nominee Willie K, Clifford Nae'ole and other Hawaiian leaders, take us into rarely seen ancient lifestyles where spirituality, culture, and care for the land form a sacred bond between humankind and the natural world. They reveal their quest to secure their Hawaiian rights as the host culture, and their economic, social, and ecological future. By bridging their ancient knowledge with wisdom and modern technologies such as wind, solar, and wave renewable energy and agricultural land systems they move towards their goal of sustainability.I'm new to Maoli world but wanted to share this screening with all the beautiful people on here as I'm sure we all have different opinions but this film definitely opened my mind about the struggles and gave me hope of ancient solutions to sustainability.
