Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future has been awarded the prestigious Digital Halo Media Activist Award by the Berkeley Video and Film Festival.

The award is given annually to filmmakers judged to have successfully spread ideas online and galvanized community action.

“This award recognizes the Koani Foundation’s successful use of digital media for social change within Hawai`i,” states Paul Kealoha Blake of East Bay Media Center. “Voices Of Truth and the work the Koani Foundation does throughout Hawai`i and the world exemplifies those who carry ideas and concepts forth online from dreams to reality.”

“We’re thrilled to receive this renown award and recognition,” remarked `Ehu Kekahu Cardwell, a director of the Koani Foundation. “We remain committed to helping create a brighter future for everyone in a Free Hawai`i.”

WAIROA, AOTEAROA - Hawaii A Voice For Sovereignty Has Won the Mana Wairoa Prize in Kahungunu Marae, Nuhaka, Wairoa District at the Wairoa Maori Film Festival in Aotearoa (New Zealand.)

This prestigious award recognizes the people who help build awareness of the struggle for indigenous rights and for human rights through film.

The award went to the filmmaker, Catherine Bauknight and all people appearing in the film.

It was presented by Leo Koziol, Director of Wairoa Maori Film Festival, to Bauknight in Pasadena, CA, and Clifford Nae`ole, Cultural Advisor of the film in Maui, via Skype.

Bauknight worked closely with Nae`ole over the four years of filming throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaii A Voice For Sovereignty will now screen throughout Aotearoa with the Maori Film Festival.

The film premiered one year ago in June, privately at the Capitol Building in Washington, DC and publicly at the Maui Film Festival where it won "Audience Award Best Hawai`i Film."

The film also garnered “Best Environmental Film” and “Best Documentary Feature” at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.

The films goal is to share the journey of the Native people of Hawai`i, since the illegal takeover by the US in 1893, to sustain their culture, spirituality, and connection to the land.

Catherine Bauknight's feature documentary film, "Hawai`i A Voice For Sovereignty", has been awarded the Best Documentary Feature Film and Best Environmental Film awards at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.


"I'm incredibly happy to have received recognition from such a prestigious film festival in New York.", Bauknight says.

They have put a lot of their heart and soul into this documentary to get their message out to the world for sovereign rights in their homeland.

"To have a venue such as New York appreciate the importance of the Hawaiian culture, their relationship to the land, and their concern for the environment, is outstanding.

"The world is becoming aware of the Native Hawaiians and the importance of their magnificent culture! Aloha Ke Akua," she stated.


Earlier this year, at the Maui Flm Festival, Bauknight's film was presented with The Audience Award - Best Hawai`i Film.

Grow Hawaiian Festival Galore!

What was it about this event that was special for me? I must admit there were many booths that displayed our Hawaiian culture. The most fascinating booth had po'e making spears, flutes and other crafts. It was interesting to watch them craft their project as we looked onward! Kawailani was fascinated by the flute and expressed her interest to make one.

There was another booth that my daughters enjoyed. We learned about conserving energy and how we can make our home safe. Hopefully, with a timer which Kawailani acquired from the festival, she will shorten her showers to five minutes! Hmmm...that would be nice to know!!!Anyway, I had fun with my daughters. It was one way I spent the day with them. For myself, I really do enjoy taking them out. When I was working and attending college, it was difficult making time to spend with my children. Today, I'm happy to have some time which I never had.

It is difficult to juggle demands of life, work and family. I know what it feels like. I've been there and done that too! Overall, I just wanted to share life special moments with my children. By the time we arrived at home, they were ready to bathe and take a nap!Have a nice day! Oh...if you know of any one that teaches flute making, please let me know. Mahalo.
