Full documentary, "Hawaiian Voices: Bridging Past to Present"

This award-winning one-hour documentary pays tribute to the role of the Kupuna (elders) in preserving Hawaiian culture. It focuses on the legacies of three respected Hawaiian elders whose lives bridged the transition from older times into the late 20th century. They are Ruth Makaila Kaholoaʻa, age 93, of the Big Island; Lilia Wahinemaikaʻi Hale, age 85, of Oʻahu and Molokai; and Reverend David “Kawika” Kaʻalakea, age 78, of Maui. A special emphasis in the documentary is the power of the Hawaiian language as a key to cultural connectedness and continuity. Each of these kupuna speaks Hawaiian fluently, as it was once learned within their families. Each is a living archive of invaluable lore and recollection, a treasure whose stories, memories, and perspectives need to be shared as a way of bridging the healing wisdom of the past into the often-fragmented world of the present. The Hawaiian Legacy Foundation is honored to make this documentary available on YouTube to share the wisdom of these three kupuna and their urgency for us to perpetuate the Hawaiian language and culture. Eddie & Myrna Kamae knew how important it was to preserve the wisdom of the elders so the next generation has a cultural foundation.
