Image Description:Kahekili's Leap at Ka‘anapali© Herb Kawainui Kane, All Rights ReservedPrivate Collection

In times of peace, when chiefs of old Hawaii felt required to strengthen the loyalty of their subjects, they might do so by demonstrations of their personal prowess in the martial arts, or sports and games. Kamehameha dazzled British Captain Vancouver, as well as his subjects, by stepping forth at a tourna-ment and having six blunted spears thrown at him at once with full force. He caught two, parried three and dodged one.

A favorite stunt practiced by King Kahekili of Maui was to leap into the sea from the cliff now called "Black Rock" at Ka‘anapali. In old Hawai‘i, as well as other islands in Polynesia, it was believed that the spirits of the dead leaped from the westernmost place on each island to return to the ancient homeland in the west. Whether or not Kahekili saw some personal connec-tion with that belief is not known. Perhaps he did it as much for excitement as his need for attention from his subjects.

.:About Herb Kane:.

HERB KAWAINUI KANE (pronounced KAH-nay) is an artist-historian and author with special interest in Hawai‘i and the South Pacific. Born in 1928, he was raised in Hilo and Waipi‘o Valley, Hawai‘i, and Wiscon-sin. He holds a masters degree from the Art Institute of Chicago in a joint program with the University of Chicago. He resides in rural South Kona on the Island of Hawai‘i.

Career experience has included advertising art, publishing art, architectural design, painting, writing and sculpture. Clients include private collectors, The Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, the National Park Service, as well as painting and writing for National Geographic and other major publishers of books and periodicals. His art has appeared on postage stamps for the U.S. Postal Service, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, The Federated States of Micronesia, and French Polynesia. As a design consultant he has worked on resorts in Hawai‘i and the South Pacific and a cultural center in Fiji. Books by Herb are Voyage, the Discovery of Hawai‘i 1976, now converted to a DVD titled VOYAGERS, The First Hawaiians with narration, sound, music and computer graphics; a book of similar title, Voyagers (1991 reprinted 2005) features 140 of his works in color as well as related historical notes and essays. Other books are Pele, Goddess of Hawai‘i’s Volcanoes (1987), and Ancient Hawai‘i (1998).

Research on Polynesian canoes and voyaging led to his participation as general designer and builder of the sailing canoe Hokule‘a, which he served as its first captain on a shakedown and training cruise. Navigated without instruments, the canoe has logged more than 105,000 miles on voyages throughout Polynesia.

In 1984 he was elected a Living Treasure of Hawai‘i. In 1987, the year of the Hawaiian Celebration he was one of 16 persons named as Po‘okela (champion). From 1988 to 1992 he served as a founding trustee of the Native Hawaiian Culture & Arts Program, a Federal Program at Bishop Museum. He is the 1998 recipient of the prestigious Charles R. Bishop Medal, awarded by the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, the State Museum of Hawai‘i. In 2002 he received The Hawaii Book Publishers Association Award for Excellence. In May of 2008 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Currently Herb is researching the many distinctive types of sailing canoes of Polynesia and Micronesia (the majority are now extinct) and expressing his findings in paintings, thus enlarging and refining a series that he began thirty years ago. His ninth U.S. postage stamp commemorating 50 years of Hawai‘i statehood was released August 21, 2009.

Having the opportunity to work with a legend is always exciting, but working with Herb Kane is downright inspirational. The man is gregarious, witty, and ex-tremely humble. In our opinion, there is nothing that says Made in Hawai’i more than Herb Kane’s artwork. Each of his pieces deftly evokes the mana of our aina with grace, undisputed power, and subtlety. We are honored that Herb has allowed us to use Kahekili’s Leap for this issues cover.

Kahekili was the 25th Ali’i of Maui. It was said he had a weak voice, but that he was an intelligent chief and exceptionally strong in war. During his rule (which encompassed every island except Hawaii), he did not sleep with women, but instead withdrew to a distant hill where he built his house to spend time in solitude. Interestingly, Kahekili served as a mentor to a young Kamehameha. Perhaps best known for having one side of his body tattooed in honor of his namesake (Kanekili, the God of Thunder), Kahekili delighted in the sport of lelekawa (cliff leaping). It was said he would leap into pools of water in Maui from as high as 360, possibly 400 feet.

It’s a common misconception that Kahekili was defeated in battle by Kamehameha to unite the Hawai-ian Islands. While these two great Ali’i fought many battles on Hawaii and Maui, neither could ever gain a stronghold against the other one. Less than a year after Kahekili’s death in 1794 at the age of 87, Kamehameha invaded Oahu and defeated Kahekili’s son Kalaniku-pule, at the Battle of Nu’uanu. On page 36 & 37 we feature Herb’s rendition of this famous battle.

Nella Media Group is already experiencing new and exciting changes in 2010. The biggest news is that we’ve just moved into a new office in the heart of Chinatown. As we continue to evolve, our commitment remains to bring the readers of innov8 the very best of Hawai’i. We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Thanks for reading this issue of innov8,

HOPSSurprising MajestyWords :: Jeff SmithImage :: Courtesy of Original Glider Rides

To be in search of beauty in Hawaii is a rare occasion, as beauty abounds in sunlight and in shadow here. Sandwiched between the foothills of the Wai’anae Mountain Range and O’ahu’s northern shoreline rests a solitary airstrip known as the Dillingham Airfi eld. This conspicuous plot, a deactivated military base at the edge of the Earth, has been the catalyst of beauty for adventurous souls for years. As you make your way from Honolulu to Mokuleia, passing sugar cane and bird-of-paradise fi elds, you begin to realize why. The airspace above this quiet place is abuzz with activity; a rainbow of parachutes fi lls the sky as if they were jellyfi sh in migration, caus-ing motorists to retire to the roadside in awe. Mingling with these free-spirited parachutes are acrobatic gliders, looking like giant Albatrosses soaring through the sky.

In operation since 1970, The Original Glider Rides have offered thrill enthusiasts everything from easy scenic fl ights to wild aerial experi-ences unlike any other attraction in the state. The adventure begins from the moment you step up to the glider itself. Its streamlined frame and bubbled cockpit sit just a foot or two off the runway itself. Once strapped in, you realize that a glider has no engine and must be towed into the air by another plane. The excitement stirs within you. Connected by a cable, lift-off commences in an acrobatic dance of its own. Circling to altitudes in excess of 3,000 feet before the cable is released, you watch as it swirls away in the sky as if it were the ribbon of an Olympic gymnast. With the tow plane out of sight, your eyes have a chance to look around, appreciate the seren-ity, the altitude, and the feeling of free fl ight. Capable of reaching speeds of over 100 mph riding the winds, you venture past the point of roads and footprints, soaring above koi ponds and natural hidden sanctuaries. Soon you fi nd yourself over the ocean as if you were a large ‘iwa bird spreading your toes to catch the ocean spray.

The Original Glider Rides offer a surprising majesty to O’ahu, a glimpse of the famed North Shore that goes above and beyond its epic surf. Your fl ight will leave a lasting imprint on the beauty of Hawaii and will remain a tale you will not hesitate to share for years to come.

Never Too LateWords :: Kristy KinimakaImage :: Courtesy of the Kinimaka Family

There’s something about conversations on an airplane that you sometimes never get to have with the “busy-ness” of life. That’s why I feel so lucky to have had the chance to catch a fl ight back to Kaua’i from O’ahu with my Uncle Titus.

It was on this fl ight that I learned my grand-father, Percy Leleo Kinimaka, older brother to Titus, didn’t learn to surf until he was 23 years old. I had always imagined that my grandfather surfed all his life. Instead, he was more of a “mountain man.” It wasn’t until he was in his 20’s that he began hanging out as a Waikiki Beach boy with friends such as Duke Kahana-moku and Rabbit Kekai.

In the 1950’s, Percy brought the fi rst fi berglass surfboards to Kauai. My grandfather became Kauai’s fi rst beachboy on Kalapaki beach, giv-ing surf lessons to the guests of the Kauai Surf hotel. He also taught Titus how to surf at a very

young age, and watched Titus grow into the legendary surfer he is today.

Since 2000, Titus has been carrying on the tradi-tion of my grandfather with his own surf school in Hanalei called “Titus Kinimaka’s Hawaiian School of Surfi ng.” Titus has taught people of all ages, even celebrities, to surf. If they can do it, so can you!

Ironically, 23 is the age I learned to surf as well, while living on Oahu and enjoying the famous Waikiki beach for myself. Learning that my grandfather started surfi ng at a later age brought me to realize that it is truly never too late to learn how to surf. No matter your age, if you have any desire to learn, go for it! Don’t let shame or pride hold you back. And remember that famous quote from Billabong “only a surfer knows the feeling.”

If you ever fi nd yourself on the island of Kauai, try a lesson from Titus Kinimaka’s Hawaiian School of Surfi ng. Visit www.hawaiianschoolof-surfi ng.com

HOPS :: KAUA‘IA Slice of TahitiWords & Images :: Phil Roberts

Since 1964, the family owned Tahiti Nui restaurant has been in business in the North Shore town of Hanalei, Kauai. When visiting the garden island, this spot is a must stop. The atmosphere of Tahiti Nui is intoxicating and welcome, full of Aloha. That is why the cocktail lounge and local style eatery is one of my favorite places on earth.

Cross the threshold and order their world-renowned mai tai. Take a long sip and you will be transported to back to old time Hawaii immediately. Take another drink and you will be put in a festive mood.

The open-air watering hole begins serving lunch daily around 11 am. The food is top notch and they take their time in preparing it. For a quick lunch, sandwiches are avail-able before hitting the stunning North Shore beaches and impressive vistas. At dinner, you cannot go wrong with the freshly caught fi sh and stuffed Calamari Provenciale in a garlic butter and basil sauce. I also recommend the sautéed mushroom appetizer.

There is lively Hawaiian music and dancing nightly in the lauhala covered bar area. It does get crowded starting in the late afternoon, and you may have to wait a bit for your order. However, the customers are friendly; a great mix of “this is my regular bar” and visitors to the Garden Island. Sit on a carved Tiki barstool at the main bar and pause for a few minutes to soak in the ambience; it’s a great feeling. Gaze at the great Papua New Guinea and Tahitian art on the walls. Take a picture with the old, hand carved tiki statues installed on the premises. The one fronting the tavern is reputed to have been used in an Indiana Jones movie.

Tahiti Nui is a real treat. You will be fully entertained and enchanted in a really epic saloon. The restaurant is a tropical oasis; a haven from the real world and should be a major part of any Kauai vacation. Even a few hours spent there will have you yearning to return soon.

Lanai by Land & SeaWords :: Noel Pietsch

Most famously known as Hawaii’s “Pineapple Island,” Lanai was once home to the world’s larg-est pineapple plantation. A small arid island, only 18 miles long, Lanai was covered almost entirely by agriculture, with the exception of the small settlement of Lana’i City. Today, the pineapples are long gone and lucky for eager eco-adventur-ers virtually nothing has replaced them, leaving miles of old plantation roads and untouched coastline open for exploration.

With only 30-miles of paved roads on the island, Lanai is one of the only places in the world where rent-a-car companies actually encourage 4x4 off-road adventures. Book a jeep through Dollar Rent-A-Car and they will provide you with a detailed map of the best off-roading destina-tions on the island. The bumpy ride down to Kaiolohia (Shipwreck beach), where a large WWII liberty ship can be spotted stranded on the reef, is defi nitely worth the trip. While the beach is not great for swimming, a series of ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs can be seen just a short hike from the road. If you have a full day, pack a picnic lunch and drive down to beautiful white sand Polihua Beach, stopping at Keahi A Kaawelo (Garden of the Gods), a unique collection of rock formations, on the way.

Of course not all the must see sites on Lanai are marked on Maps. If you brought your boards along and are looking for some surf, head out to Lopa beach on the east side of the island for un-crowded waves, crystal clear water, and stunning views of Maui in the distance. Kaunolu Point, King Kamehamea’s historic fi shing retreat, is also worth exploring. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Kaunolu is home to a well-preserved Halulu Heiau (a Hawaiian temple) and is said to be the birthplace of the modern sport of cliff diving. While leaping off the cliffs is highly dangerous and should only be attempted by experienced professionals, Kaunolu Point has served as past location for the Red Bull Cliff Div-ing World Championships.

For a much calmer, serene experience in the water, seek out the famous spinner dolphins that frequent Hulopoe Bay, directly in front of the Four Seasons Manele Bay. Head down to the beach just after sunrise and keep a close eye

out for the acrobatic dolphins. Usually arriving in large schools, when they do come into the bay they often stay and play for a while, putting on a show for those lucky enough to be there. If you are comfortable in the water, put on a mask and swim out into the bay. While approaching the animals is discouraged, if you wait patiently, soon enough you will fi nd yourself surrounded by frolicking dolphins, a truly once in a lifetime experience. If you prefer staying closer to shore, simply dip your head under water and listen for the dolphin’s calls as they communicate back and forth to each other, it’s almost as remarkable as watching them.

Since the pineapple plantations closed their doors, tourism has become a vital part of Lanai’s economy. Two luxurious fi ve-star resorts that offer visitors a world-class experience are the upcountry Lodge at Ko’ele and the ocean front Manele Bay Hotel. Because both are operated as Four Season Resort, guests are welcome to use the amenities at either property. A slightly more affordable option is the newly remodeled Hotel Lanai. Located in Lana’i City, Hotel Lanai has 11 charming plantation style accommodations and is home to the Lanai City Grille, a spectacular restaurant owned and operated by award win-ning chef Beverly Gannon, most famously known as one of the founders of Hawaiian Regional Cuisine. If sleeping under the stars is more your style, the only place to legally camp on Lanai is at Hulopoe Beach Park. Contact Castle and Cooke Properties to book one of their six ocean front campsites.

FLAVORSA Bean to Grind: Rowan Gard discovers jitters and the perfect cup of Hawaiian coffee.Words :: Rowan GardImage :: Ric Noyle, courtesy of Lion Coffee

“O Coffee, thou dost dispel all care, thou art an object of desire” declares an Arabic poem of the 14th century. Indeed. Few things are more desir-able in the morning than a hot, strong cup of coffee. In fact, in the Americas and Europe coffee is the beverage of choice, with coffee consump-tion being right behind that of drinking water. Though it’s not all that surprising really, because how many of us want to drink our Bailey’s straight in the morning?

The History of CoffeeThe origin of coffee is rooted in the ancient soils of the cradle of humanity – Africa. Ethiopia is considered the birthplace of the coffee bean and the Oromo peoples that call that land home believe that the fi rst coffee bush sprouted from where the sky god’s tears hit the earth, as he cried over the death of a loved one. The Oromo even use coffee in spiritual rituals (you have to admit it does smell like freshly ground nirvana).

Paleobotanical research further supports coffee being domesticated in Ethiopia and spreading out to Egypt and on to Arabia, where by the fi fteenth century coffee is fi rst roasted and brewed, in a manner rather like we do today.

Coffee quickly spread throughout the Middle East and then on to the Venetian port of Italy, where after being deemed a “Christian drink” by Pope Clement VIII in 1600, underwent an even greater surge in popularity. Pope Leo XII himself described coffee as a “dark fl uid [that is a] pleasure as you sip.” Consequently with God on board, Italy’s fi rst coffee house opens in 1645, England follows suit in 1654, and France joins the highly-caffeinated party in 1657.

Coffee – Island StyleCoffee made its way to the Hawaiian Islands in the early 1800s, with the fi rst successful crop being grown in Manoa Valley on O‘ahu in 1825. Production of coffee increased throughout the 1800s but was nearly squeezed out by the early 1900s, due to sugar production. Kona remained a nearly singular stronghold in Hawai‘i coffee production. The 1950’s brought a resurgence of interest in Kona coffee, though the 1960’s just as quickly saw a dip in global coffee prices. Weath-

ering the ups and downs of a global market, industrious coffee farmers throughout the islands persisted. Their hard work paid off in the 1970’s when Kona coffee began to successfully sell as a specialty coffee. The last two decades have seen a signifi cant increase in Hawaiian coffee produc-tion with our unique and richly fl avored beans being exported in a major way all over the world.

Organic ChemistryThe folks over at the Kaua‘i Coffee Company know how to grow good coffee. In fact, with their parent company – Alexander and Baldwin – Kaua‘i Coffee owns some 22,000 acres. Its little wonder then that since the late 1990’s Kaua‘i Coffee Co. has yielded a coffee harvest which exceeds the combined coffee production of the whole Kona region. But it’s more than sheer scale that’s impressive about this operation, Kaua‘i Coffee is dedicated to environmentally friendly agricultural land practices and do not use pesti-cides. They’re also into clean water, clean air and a sustainable Hawai‘i (fancy that!).

Kaua‘i Coffee Plantation boasts a lovely Visitor Center and as much coffee as you can drink (and did I mention it’s free!?) Visitors can also take a rambling walking tour of the grounds, where

Pope Leo XII himself described coffee as a “dark fl uid [that is a] pleasure as you sip.”

the entire process of coffee manufacturing is on display – from harvest to the fi nal roast. You can also just take a seat on the lanai and look out at the great Pacifi c, while sipping a delicious cup of Kaua‘i Sunrise. I recommend it.

Mix MastersJohann Sebastian Bach once quipped “bring me a bowl of coffee before I turn into a goat”. Now the folks over at the Coffee Gallery in Haleiwa generally serve their coffee in cups, but I bet that if you ask for a bowl they’d probably give it to you, as they’re into customer service.

The Coffee Gallery, outfi tted in hard wood fl oors and bohemian charm, calls to mind its coffeehouse predecessors a la 1960’s Greenwich Village and San Francisco’s North Beach Beat scene. But don’t go thinking the Coffee Gallery is nothing more than a haven for dirty hippies, I mean it is, but it’s also a lot more than that. The

folks at the Coffee Gallery practice small batch roasting which emboldens the distinctive fl avor of each bean, and consequently each blend.Further they only roast the coffee they need for daily usage to ensure maximum freshness. And it’s a freshness you can taste, as I have to say the best cup of coffee I’ve had on O‘ahu was at Coffee Gallery. Make sure you check out their extensive selections of organic coffee blends and baked goods (just buy the Carrot Cake, it’s everything it should be, trust me on this one).

Ka‘iwi ShorelineWords :: Charles Alexander ElliottImage :: Kaboe Kavapalu

The Ka ‘Iwi Shoreline, tucked between Sandy Beach and the Makapu’u Lighthouse, is one of Hawai’i’s last unspoilt scenic spots. Early mornings are magical as the tide rolls in, creating waves that crash up against the rock wall of the natural fishponds. The deep blue Ka ‘Iwi Channel sits just beyond the break, separating the islands of O’ahu and Moloka’i.

Formally known as Queen’s Beach, this beautiful stretch of coast holds a rich history. Originally known as Mauna Lua (meaning “two mountains” in reference to Koko Head and Koko Crater), the area was completely overgrown and considered to be non-inhabitable for the longest time. Ka ‘Iwi is still a diamond in the rough, offering visitors a unique area to experience a host of picture perfect natural plants and animals that are sometimes hidden by litter. A highlight are the fishponds that had been up kept by Native Hawaiians before the western influence came.

Unfortunately, this beautiful spot has been threatened with development since the late 1980’s. Ini-tially, developers envisioned turning Ka ‘Iwi into a resort and golf course. Conservation efforts from individuals like David Matthews and Phil Estermann (founding members of the Save Sandy Beach Co-alition and Ka ‘Iwi Action Council) helped persuade the state to gain ownership of this land in 2001. However, the land remained classified as urban, which meant it was still eligible for development. On October 21, 2009, Governor Lingle filed a petition with the State Land Use Commission to reclassify the Ka ‘Iwi coastland to conservation.

It seems for now that the Ka ‘Iwi Shoreline has escaped unscathed. Aesthetically, this shoreline has a pristine beauty that speaks to the soul. In the winter, humpback whales play just outside the break, and tropical fish swim in the bay. Often they will swim right up to you curiously investigating for food or just to say hello! It feels like its straight out of a movie, but it happens in real life. Unscripted, unedited thru the eyes of your soul, come experience one of the last undeveloped shorelines in Hawai’i Nei.

PERSPECTIVES808 Urban MuralsWords & Image :: Phil Roberts

808 Urban is not a roving band of graffiti artists. These are people striving to make a difference in Hawaii’s low-income neighborhoods, creating art that beautifies, and establishing community cultural arts centers. Artists merge with organiz-ers to teach art to “at risk” young people as a way to express themselves.

The group’s tribute to the sudden passing of the “King of Pop,” Michael Jackson, gained enough attention to be featured in the Los Angeles Times shortly after it’s conception. The mural

also pays tribute to “Iz the Wiz,” Michael Mar-tin. Martin was the undisputed king of the New York graffiti artists. His iconic painted subway train cars are well documented, especially his 1980 John Lennon 2-car tribute. Martin passed away June 17th, 2009 at the age of 50 from a heart attack.

808 Urban also decorated the front of the Kokua Market with a Hawaiian cultural theme and recently supervised a student art effort at Washington Middle School on King Street. The mural is incredibly colorful and has an eco-mes-sage. “Tears would come from each other’s eyes as they would stop to realize that our land is in

great, great danger now,” is the English transla-tion of the Hawaiian phrase. Other smaller paint-ings also appear on other parts of the building that houses a Shave Ice stand in the Moili’ili area in Honolulu.

The “808 Urban” organization does not con-done illegal graffiti and tagging. At school and community events, paint is donated for positive use by youngsters in a controlled environment. Volunteers watch as the artists of “808 Urban” help these kids create dazzling spray paint art. Many of these young artists have gone on to work for t-shirt companies and other art related businesses in the islands.

PERSPECTIVESKalani David Image :: David David

Kalani David is a twelve-year-old board-riding phenomenon. At the tender age of two Kalani started surfing, riding a 4’3 board on inside re-forms. Then at five, he began skating the ramp in the Haleiwa parking lot with his dad David. And did we mention that Kalani is also gifted on a dirt bike? Yeah, this grom can do it all.

Publications have already been comparing him with that other dual board sport maestro, Shaun White. Despite his young age, Kalani has already been an alternate in the Pool and Park events for the past few X-Games. 2010 could very well be the year that Kalani finally gets his big chance to compete in the main event. Regardless of the inevitable ESPN exposure, Kalani will continue to do his thing and seek out new waves and bowls to grind.

Q&A with Jamie O’Brien:Image :: Zak Noyle

Who is J.O.B besides the guy that loves Pipeline?I don’t know. That’s impossible to answer. A very interesting question. One that makes me think about myself from the view that others might have. But that doesn’t bring me closer to an an-swer. Maybe further from an answer than before I thought about the question. Your premise is right. I do love Pipeline. But what more is there? Am I the sum of those things that I love? Or an equation based on the things I love and hate? Does hate really exist? I know love does. But hate seems to be a passing anger/rage before under-standing comes. Which leaves only love.

Do you prefer Breakdancing or Salsa?My dancing is freeform. So I probably prefer Breakdancing. But you’d be hard pressed to label whatever it is I do on a dance fl oor. I let it out.

Biggie or 2Pac?What’s with these diffi cult questions? Are you some kind of psych magazine? There’s so much to both these guys that making a preference is going to do my head in. I can’t choose between these two. They defi ned what we have today in different ways. If one existed without the other we’d have been in a permanent state of imbal-ance. As it is they were both. 1+1=3.

Best place to grind Poke?Kahuku Superette has the best stuff. Although when my Dad makes it, it is even better. But that’s not that often.

How much Red Bull do you drink per day?I probably get through 7 on average. 3 sugar free, 2 original and 2 colas. More on a busy day or when the surf is pumping all day.

When is your new fi lm coming out?It’s out when it’s out.

How are you an innov8tive surf fi lmmaker?I let it happen. I’m not constrained by the pres-sures of deadlines or sponsor objectives. Red Bull has been great, they let me explore surf fi lm making from a really free place. Hopefully I do them and the audience justice. I’m going to push the POV stuff to a level we know hasn’t been done before and try to get innov8tive with re-mote control helicopters and high-speed cameras looking into the barrel.

PERSPECTIVES::32’33°E

5 Questions with Kawehi Inaba, Founder of Mokulele AirWhat prompted you to start Mokulele Flight Service?The love of flying is in my blood. My father was a pilot for Hawaiian Airlines and I started my career in the flight industry by working at Aloha Airlines as a customer service agent. It sounds pretty simple, but one day when I’d just finished boarding a 737 and was watching the aircraft taxi away from the gate I said to myself….”I want to fly that thing”! I took flight lessons, received my Private Pilot license, instrument rating, commercial rating and finally, my flight instructor rating. By this time, life had taken over and I’d become a mother of two. I no longer felt the desire to lead the life of a conventional pilot. Instead, I started providing flight instruc-tion on the Big Island. In 1998, I received my Part-135 FAA certification to provide Big Island air tours. A couple of years later, I realized there was a need for direct transportation between

Kona and Maui so I started on-demand air travel between these destinations. From there, the rest is history. Growing any business is hard work, did you find the airline industry especially tough?Had I known how tough it was going to be, I probably would have “run” in the other direc-tion as fast as I could!!! Joking aside, as with any business there were many, many things I had to learn. But I am thankful for the trials and tribulations that I faced while owning Mokulele; they made me a stronger business owner. I am thankful for my wonderful team of employees at Mokulele who helped me to realize my dream. I couldn’t have continued to build the flight business without their support and belief in me. When I think back on the day-to-day demands of running a flight service it makes me appreci-ate my family and the “simple” things in the life I have today. What is your current occupation now that you are no longer in the airline industry? My current occupations include:

1//President – Kupa’a Business Planners, Inc. (Marketing & Promotions Firm)

2//President – Fit Xpress Hawai’i, Inc. (Fitness Center)

3//Consultant / Mentor – Nu Skin Enterprises Do you still fly in your free time?No. The last time I flew was in 2003 while preparing one of my pilots for his FAA Part-135 check ride. Do you have any words of wisdom/inspira-tion for aspiring female entrepreneurs here in Hawaii?The most important message that I could convey to anyone aspiring to be an entrepreneur is simple. “BELIEVE”…… Believe and love yourself and God first. By doing this, everything else will fall into place. Go with your na’au (gut instinct) and surround yourself with people you can trust and who believe in you and your business. Sup-port the community you do business in, as they will support you in return.

HERB KAWAINUI KANE

The Battle at Nu‘uanu

“I stood there and imagined I could hear voices on the tradewind that funnels between mountains and over the lookout site where it happened.”

Image Description: In 1795, Kamehameha landed on Oahu with a huge invasion fl eet, skirmishing with the Oahu forces as he advanced across the plain now occupied by Honolulu. The defenders made a stand, but were driven up Nu‘uanu Valley in hard fi ghting. The upper valley ends at the brink of a high cliff (pali), and here those of the Oahu army who found no escape along the ridges or down a narrow clifff-side trail were driven over the precipice. It is said that a mist or low cloud rose up against the cliff, and those who fell disap-peared into it.

Both sides used fi rearms as well as traditional weapons and included a few foreigners in their ranks. In the narrow upper valley, Kamehame-

ha’s well-disciplined phalanx, a tight forma-tion carrying long pololu spears, could not be stopped.

This was the fi nal major battle, the dramatic climax to Kamehameha’s conquest of the archipelago. With the capitulation of Kaua’i, all the islands were brought under the rule of the Island of Hawai‘i, and the Kingdom of Hawai‘i was born—which is how the State of Hawai‘i inherited its name.

Herb Kane has created some of the most iconic Hawaiian paintings during his illustrious career. By tapping both his gift for visual storytelling and his passion for history, Herb has been instru-mental in depicting vital moments in Hawaiian history with the intimacy befi tting an artist of the Italian Renaissance. His many accomplish-ments and awards are testament to his great contribution to Hawaiian art. Elected a living treasure in 1984, Herb has infl uenced countless artists. Perhaps most important to Herb is his work in perpetuating Hawaiian culture. Herb was one of three founders of the Polynesian Voyag-ing Society, which was responsible for building

Most historians have used words, but my interest was in opening windows to the past with visual art.

the fi rst voyaging canoe in Hawaii in over 600 years, the Hokule’a.

Where were you born?My father wanted me to be born in Waipi’o Valley on Hawai‘i Island, and my parents were on their way from Wisconsin, but roads and cars being what they were in 1929 my mother couldn’t hold out, and I was born in central Minnesota.

Did you always know you were going to be an artist? It started when doting aunties lauded my earli-est attempts at drawing, and in my early school years, other boys would happily trade a sand-wich from their lunchbox for a drawing of a car or an airplane. Later, I fl irted with architecture, but painting won out.

How has Hawai’i and its history infl uenced your art?My father, a storyteller, infected me with his interest in Hawaiian myth, legend and history. Most historians have used words, but my inter-est was in opening windows to the past with

visual art.

Besides painting, what other form of art do you enjoy?I enjoy other art forms, but as an auditor rather than a practitioner. The art of sailing once gripped my interest, a kinetic art form that I’m now too old to practice.

How important of an experience was designing and building the Hokule’a sailing canoe?By its voyages, Hokule‘a has become a living icon of the mutuality of all Pacifi c island peoples, re-minding them of the inventiveness and courage of their ancestors. Exploring and settling a haz-ardous ocean world of very meager resources, they succeeded, developing cultures of surpris-ing richness and setting examples for us all. My contribution, although limited by necessity, has brought me a deep personal satisfaction and the warmth of friendship from many others.

Is it true what they say, do legendary art-ists get all the ladies (Sorry Mrs. Kane, we had to ask)?

Here I may be entering dangerous seas; I can only say that I’ve been married fi ve times and they have all been great ladies. Four of the fi ve found it impossibly diffi cult to live with someone whose fi rst and most demanding mistress is his chosen fi eld of work.

As an innov8tive artist who has infl uenced countless individuals, how do you stay motivated?By being unsatisfi ed, eager to do better, to be experimental. I keep asking myself, “How would it look if I did it this way—or that way?” Each brush stroke is a decision. I don’t think about the preliminary sketches or paintings that go into the trash.

Concrete Jungles of ParadiseWords: Leena Haija

While downtown Honolulu is hardly considered a concrete jungle, hidden among the tall build-ings and bustling streets lies some of Oahu’s best eateries, unique shopping and treasured historic buildings.

Make your way through Chinatown and you will fi nd it brimming with ethnic restaurants, fresh produce, herbal shops, and eclectic boutiques. First stop, E-town, located on Smith Street. This unique space features jewelry, handbags, swimsuits, and clothing all made by new and up-and-coming local designers. Some favorites are Soozou, “made in Hawaii sailed in Hawaii,” a bag company that hand-makes all its pieces from old sails, and Meesah, a jewelry line that is focused on offering environmentally conscious people a way to accessorize in an artful way. With new designers featured monthly and one of a kind pieces, this is defi nitely a must shop spot.

Take a little break from shopping at the famous Otto Cakes, and try one of the delicious signature cheesecakes. With over 86 fl avors of cheesecake ranging from Butterfi nger, mocha, Grand Marnier, key lime, maple, guava, peanut butter and jelly, there is something for everyone. Not a cheesecake fan? Don’t worry they have brownies to die for.

Just a few walking blocks from E-town lays the hidden gem for all Fashionistas, Fighting Eel. This collaboration combines owners Rona Ben-nett and Lan Chung’s personal styles and their undeniable love of fashion to create some of the sexiest and classic pieces around. Described as “uncomplicated yet feminine”, each collection is designed to take you from the beach to dinner with friends effortlessly. While this location is not always open for shoppers, it’s encouraged to check online at www.fi ghtingeel.com for local store locations. However, if you are lucky enough to shop in the downtown location, be prepared to score some fabulous deals on last season’s styles.

For years, local fashion conscious girls have set their alarms on Saturday mornings and stood in line, rain or shine, for designer brands at dis-counted prices during the Fashionista’s Market Designer Sample Sales. Now, we can sleep-in yet still get the best deals at the new Fashionista’s Market Boutique located on Bethel Street. This adorable store is fi lled with handpicked designer tops, dresses, denim, and accessories, all at below retail prices.

Sticks and Stones … A Family Found Through ArtWords :: Jennifer HomcyImages :: Dave Homcy

Scott Kekuhaupio ManleyOne of Scott Kekuhaupio Manley’s greatest passions is hand chiseling and engraving archi-tectural renderings of historical buildings and monuments on slate. His passion for art and his-tory are steeped in his deep genealogical roots, which drive him to perpetuate both together. The name Kekuhaupio was given to him to honor his great, great, great, great grandfather Kekuhaupio who served as a military advisory and a mentor to King Kamehameha I. He was considered the most accomplished warrior in the Hawaiian martial arts known as Lua, or “bone breaking”. On his mother’s side, President Lincoln’s personal physician/ minister, Phineus Gurley, was his great-great uncle who attended to the President when he was assassinated, and delivered his eulogy. In 1993, Scott’s family came into possession of historic slate shingles from the Kawaiaha’o Church (located on the corner of Punchbowl and King Street in Honolulu), which was established in 1820 by the Royal Family. It is said that each church stone has its own spiritual presence. All the hopes and prayers made in the church have passed through the slate on their way to heaven, with the essence of that love embodied in every stone. Being inspired by his parents and ancestors, Scott made his fi rst engraving, the eves of their Kawela Bay home (North Shore, O’ahu). And so it began….

Jennifer ManleyJennifer Durell was born in Grants Pass, Oregon, where her mother and grandmother raised her and her brother. In 1993 (around the same time the Manley’s inherited the church slate), Jennifer moved to Hawaii to live with her Uncle in Punalu’u (East Oahu). Upon arriving in the islands, she made an instant connection with her uncle’s woodworker friend Jack: a connection that would transform her life forever. Within a month, Jennifer and Jack were bonded as hanai (adopted) father and daughter. Over the years, Jennifer helped Jack with hand sanding and collecting salvaged Hawaiian hardwoods. Six years later she fi nally committed to getting over her fear of the tools and machinery. She asked Jack to teach her his trade and decided to become a woodworker. In 2000, together they moved to Haleiwa. They built a workshop on the property and continued to learn from each other, inspire each other, care for each other, and enrich each other’s lives. Jennifer was no longer fatherless, and Jack had a daughter he never knew he wanted.

Sticks and Stones….At the 2004 Pacifi c Handcrafter’s guild, Jennifer and Jack ended up displaying their craft next to Scott Manley. Becoming fast friends, the three artists began spending time together, nurturing new ideas, collaborating on projects and sharing festival spaces. With their art as the gateway, Jennifer and Scott’s friendship eventually led to romance and Scott moved to Haleiwa, joining the family. Some years later, Jen and Scott were sitting on the beach at Waimea Bay watching some kids play at the shoreline. Jennifer turned to Scott and said “…look at those boys playing with their sticks and stones…” and Scott had the epiphany. He turned to Jen and said, “That’s it, that’s us… We’re ‘Sticks and Stones!’” In 2008, the family relocated to Na’elehu, South Point Big Island. Jennifer and Scott married a year later. As they continue to expand and cre-ate new forms of art, combining their materials in complimentary and innovative ways, they also strive to become more sustainable with their art and lifestyle. Salvaging materials from tree re-moval, mill scraps, construction leftovers, and by trading with other craftsmen, they produce local art, from local materials, deeply rooted in the Hawaiian cultures and traditions, with impec-cable detail and care in each unique piece. Norfolk Pine hurricane lamps and bowls, hair sticks and hairpins, wooden spoons and kitchen accessories, unique wooden jewelry (all made from prized Koa and other hardwoods), are just a few of the creations in demand from Jennifer’s clients. Small petroglyphs, Hawaii landscapes, seascapes, historic architecture, and Hawaiiana engravings on certifi ed historic slate are some of the incredible images created by Scott. Com-bination slate and wooden lamp pieces are just one example of how Jennifer and Scott inspire each other. Through the history of their subjects and medium, their craft continues to enhance the natural organic shapes and colors of Hawaii’s sticks and stones.

Surfrider Foundation—Kaua‘i ChapterWords & Image :: Kirsten Whatley

Surfrider members aren’t only surfers; they’re also those who love to ride waves with their bodies, bodyboards, sailboards, and kiteboards. Some are oceanographers, some environmental scientists. Others simply love the sea. What they have in common is a strong desire for a healthy marine environment—today and for future generations. As a truly grassroots organization, Surfrider Foundation’s efforts are purely volun-teer driven.

Beach CleanupsBottle caps, plastic bags, lighters, batteries—this isn’t the natural diet of a seafaring bird or marine mammal, but it’s increasingly becoming one when they tragically mistake them for food. To help ensure Kaua‘i’s sea life doesn’t ingest marine debris, the Kaua‘i Surfrider chapter host’s regular beach cleanups. Cleanups take only a few hours, and you get to experience some of the island’s most beautiful coastlines. To fi nd out more: surfriderkauai@gmail.com.

Net PatrolA dedicated Net Patrol team removes the massive entanglements that often wash up on Kaua‘i’s shores—nets can break off coral or block sunlight to the underwater ecosystem; sometimes they wrap around sea turtles or monk seals, even whales. To join the Net Patrol effort, contact Barbara Wiedner at Bwiednerrealtor@aol.com.

Blue Water Task ForceTesting sixteen beaches on the island every month, Blue Water Task Force volunteers paddle out to favorite surf spots to assess water clarity, salinity, and bacteria. To get involved in the Blue Water Task Force, contact Dr. Berg at cberg@pixi.com.

LIFE AQUATICWords :: Matt LuttrellImage :: Andrew Honda

“Mahape a ale wala’au,” Duke Kahanamoku used to say in Hawaiian. Translated, “Don’t talk, keep it in your heart.” Remaining humble and letting your actions speak louder than words has practically become extinct, and Western culture seems to reward those with the biggest mouth. However, there remains a group that still live by the Duke’s code, the Lifeguards of Hawaii. Legendary men and women have patrolled the beaches of Oahu: Buffalo Keaulana, Rell Sunn, Clyde and Eddie Aikau, and Tiger Espere. Yet oftentimes it is still a misunderstood profes-sion. To the average tourist it appears to be the ultimate job in tranquility, getting to sit in a life-guard tower on a perfect beach. Nothing could be further from the truth, except being on a perfect beach of course. The City and County of

Honolulu Lifeguards are the front line of defense for the 189 beaches on Oahu. With 23 staffed lifeguard towers and 14 mobile response units, the 250 employees of the Ocean Safety Division are responsible for an immense aquatic area. Their jurisdiction covers every shoreline beach and expands one mile out to sea. With nearly 15 million beach goers annually (on Oahu alone), everyday our lifeguards go to battle to prevent injury and death. To this end, the men and women of the division undergo the most comprehensive and chal-lenging lifeguard-training regime in the World. Every lifeguard is a certified professional first responder, and 1/3 of the division are licensed Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). While training is important, the majority of our life-guards are world-class watermen and women. They have spent their life around the ocean, and have thus gained a preternatural familiarity with her ever-changing moods. This understanding

creates individuals that crave ocean conditions that would make the rest of us cower in awe. One such lifeguard is Mark Dombroski. Mark be-gan patrolling the North Shore in June of 1975. Nearly 35 years after first patrolling Waimea Bay, Dombroski is still going strong. Now mobile with the Rescue Ski Program, Mark and Abe Lerner, his partner, cover the area from Kaena Point to Kualoa five days a week. While the North Shore has changed considerably during Dombroski’s career, the best part of the job hasn’t. “The camaraderie between all the guys working out here is great,” says Dombroski. “You get to make all sorts of friends, and you get to help the community.” Possessing ocean knowledge and being a phe-nomenal athlete isn’t enough to succeed at this profession though. It takes a keen mind to keep up with the diverse cultural norms of visiting beach goers. As economies grow and shrink, the beaches of Hawaii fill with new visitors

from emerging countries. The Division of Ocean Safety is constantly reassessing how to better respond to unfamiliar distress signals used in different corners of the world. Remaining proactive in advancing drowning prevention programs drives the City and County of Honolulu Lifeguards. This methodology has bred innovative initiatives that have been duplicated around the World. Perhaps the most widely emulated are the beach signs developed here in Hawaii to warn the public of hazardous conditions. These 13 hazard signs alert beach goers to rip currents, dangerous shorebreaks, and a variety of other potentially life threaten-ing situations. In 1989, Brian Keaulana and Terry Ahue co-developed the most significant modern ocean rescue technique by introducing the per-sonal watercraft into the equation. The result of having agile, powered crafts (commonly referred to as jet skis) out in the big surf has revolution-ized ocean safety and spread to all corners of

the globe. Just as important, but with noticeably less fanfare, has been the introduction of the website hawaiibeachsafety.org. This website allows the Ocean Safety Division to disseminate valuable, readily accessible information to visitors and locals alike. “At the end of the day, our goal is to be good hosts,” explains Operations Chief Jim Howe. “We want to help people have a great experi-ence here in Hawaii.” Raising public awareness and engaging the local community are key endeavors for the Lifeguard Division. The Junior Lifeguard Program is instrumental in the commu-nity and teaches the youth of Hawaii important ocean safety skills. Its primary purpose is “to in-crease the self-confidence, physical conditioning, and ocean awareness of program participants through their introduction to water safety, first aid and surf rescue techniques.” Incidentally, this educational tool has been great for bringing new recruits into lifeguarding.

The Ocean Safety Division has evolved consider-ably since its auspicious beginnings of keeping swimmers safe at the Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium. Even as times change, one constant still remains, the City and County of Honolulu Lifeguards continue to work tirelessly for ocean safety and drowning prevention.

The City and County of Honolulu Lifeguards are the front line of defense for the 189 beaches on Oahu.

My Grandfather’s GhostsWords :: As told to Rick Carroll by Nicholas Love Compliments :: Taken from The Best of Hawai’i’s Best Spooky Tales, Bess Press, Honolulu, Hawai’i

Well, I’m twelve years old and I happen to believe in ghosts and I’ll tell you why: It’s all because of my grandfather (who, by the way, is a big, brave, strong man). He’s six foot two and I don’t think he was ever afraid of ghosts. Until one night, long ago.

When I was four or fi ve my mother told me the story about my grandfather and the ghosts of the Pali Highway, a story that didn’t make sense then, but later, when I was six or seven, it really started to register and come into focus. This is how the story goes:

My grandfather was a bus driver and he was driving the Old Pali Road route one night, in spring or summer around 1956. He had already dropped off all his passengers and he was the only one on the bus.

It was just before midnight and he had turned off the bus, relaxing and waiting for his last run to start back down the hill to Honolulu. He was waiting for midnight so he could end his shift. All the bus drivers did this to keep on schedule.

Suddenly, he heard a lot of noise. It sounded like some kind of fi ghting was going on. He heard yelling and it got louder and closer. Next, he heard the clashing of what sounded like wood spears and clubs and men screaming in agony. It was like a war. Bam! Bam!

As the sound came closer and closer my grand-father’s bus started to shake like somebody mad was pushing it around, rocking it, and the trees were getting blown all over the place.

It’s always windy up there, but this wasn’t a normal gust of wind. This was something else. Then, all the sound and commotion came so close to my grandfather he began to believe that men were really fi ghting, yelling and dying.

When it sounded too real, he decided to get out of there as fast as he could and zoomed back to the bus depot. He was really frightened by it all. Just sitting up there even at daytime, to me, it’s kind of scary with the wind and all.

My grandfather went to the dispatcher and told him what he heard and felt up there on the Pali. “We can put you on another route if you want,” the dispatcher told my grandfather. And he agreed on the spot.

Next morning, he was told by some of the other drivers that they, too, had heard these noises in the past and asked to be transferred. The Old Pali Highway route that my grandfather and oth-ers drove in those days was the same way that King Kamehameha had taken when he came to fi ght Chief Kalanikupele of O’ahu.

The famous Battle of Nu’uanu happened in April 1795, when Kamehameha’s warriors fought Kalanikupule’s. Some of Kalanikupule’s warriors were driven over the pali (cliff) at the end of this valley.

Now, it seems that at certain times, usually around midnight, people traveling alone on this Nu’uanu route have experienced hearing these spirits fi ghting their way up the Old Pali Road.

Whenever I travel that road, today, I always keep my eyes peeled for the ghosts of the warriors of Kamehameha and Kalanikupule. I’m sure they are there. So is my grandfather. I wouldn’t take a hundred dollars to spend the night up there alone. So keep your eyes peeled, too, when you cross the Pali alone at midnight.

The Old Pali Highway route that my grandfather and others drove in those days was the same way that King Kamehameha had taken when he came to fi ght Chief Kalanikupele of O’ahu.

Hmmm, I’m a Kailua girl, and what I didn’t know about Kailua could fi ll a book. Funny thing, there is a book—a brand new one called KAILUA. As my mother used to say, it’s a WOW.

The book is quite profound on many levels, especially since every person affi liated with the book has Windward O’ahu ties. The KAILUA book team is a large group, with dozens of authors, collectors, and photographers. I love the geographic orientation of the content; it’s the right way to approach a place-based book. The “ili” of Kailua are featured—from a variety of perspectives—scientifi c, Hawaiian, and fi rst person, by people who have a lifetime of experi-ence living in Kailua. The writing is personal and deeply moving, giving KAILUA a layered and rich feel. Pili’amo’o (the photography team of Mark Hamasaki and Kapulani Landgraf) take

you to another world, allowing you to feel their affection for this special place. One surprising el-ement of their photographs is the lack of people in them. If you’ve been to Kailua lately, that’s hard to imagine with the bustle of that bursting beach town.

Barbara Pope (the grand dame of Island book design) should defi nitely take a bow for staying on this project through thick and thin. It was many years in the making, published by the dedicated and hard working Kailua Historical Society. Going through the Pali tunnel and head-ing towards Kailua is one of the great moments in Island driving. Now with the publication of KAILUA, the real stories of this extraordinary place are fi nally being told.

Don Tiki - South of the Boudoir (Taboo Records)

Words :: Phillip Roberts

Don Tiki’s 4th album “South of the Boudoir” is their fi rst release in fi ve years and features over 70 minutes of lush, complex lounge music that is perfect for stirring and sipping a Mai-tai in a dark tropical inspired atmosphere. Band members Les Baxter, Martin Denny, and Arthur Lyman continue to advance the exotica genre to a new level of sophistication. Seeing Don Tiki in-person is the ultimate experi-ence though. The band’s live sound has never been truly captured on their previous albums, however “South of the Boudoir” comes very close with amazing arrangements and scintil-lating vocal contributions. Don Tiki creates an intense musical olio of samba rhythms, jungle jazz, and island-styled tunes that await your imagination to transport you to mysterious and glamorous locales.

Each song on “South of the Boudoir” creates an epic narrative; one of aural adventure and the passion of melodic discovery. Of special note are the original composition “Chinatown Bar Cha Cha Cha” and the lead track of the new album, the re-tooling of “Friendly Islands”, the Ethel Azama’s 1950’s melody. One listen to this new undertaking will have you downloading Don Tiki’s other offerings as fast as your internet connection will allow.

Hawaiÿi is a popular backdrop for fi ction writers in much the same way that it is a favorite location for Hollywood fi lmmakers. Lush landscapes, the exotic mixture of East and West peoples and cultures, and the Islands’ unique history are fertile grounds for stories rich in description and intrigue. Rarely, though, can a book about Hawaiÿi truly be called a Hawaiian story.

Between the Deep Blue Sea and Me is a true Hawaiian story. Not true in the sense that it is nonfi ction, but true in how it engages Hawaiian perspectives to portray Hawaiian culture and contemporary Native Hawaiian experiences. This is not surprising, considering that the Native Hawaiian author, Lurline Wailana McGregor, has experiences that refl ect those of her novel’s protagonist.

Moana Kawelo, the main character in the story, is a hapa haole anthropologist who seems to have it all. Born and raised in Hawaiÿi and a graduate of Punahou School, she has moved to Los Angeles and is living the American dream – a great job, the right clothes, the perfect boyfriend, and a promising future. Everything about Moana’s life seems successful and predictable, that is, until her father dies and Moana returns to Hawaiÿi for the funeral. This is where the story begins, as her journey “home” includes trials Moana must face, atonement she must undergo, life-changing decisions she’s not prepared to make, and the mystical help of an ancestral guardian to guide her through it all. The catch here is that it is a uniquely Hawaiian journey, fi lled with cultural

LIFE

innov8magazine.com V°005

protocols, expectations, and insights that are specific to Hawaiÿi and a Hawaiian worldview.

Like the supporting cast of characters that add color to McGregor’s story, the all-Hawaiÿi production team behind the novel adds cultural richness and creativity to the work. The group included cover artist Imaikalani Kalahele, the local design firm Design Logix, and Kamehameha Publishing.

The novel’s universal message—about cultural identity and the role each of us plays in sustaining cultural values and the natural environment—has resonated well locally and nationally. Within the first three months of its release, Between the Deep Blue Sea and Me appeared on the local best-sellers list three times. Most notably, it won the 2010 Best Young Adult Book award from the American Indian Library Association. This is especially significant as it is the first time Native Hawaiian literature has earned such national recognition. This June, McGregor will accept the award in Washington, D.C. at the national convention of the American Library Association.

Author Lurline McGregor is not surprised at the feedback she has received from others who closely identify with the character and the story. “Above all, this is a story about identity,” says McGregor, “and what it means to be Hawaiian today. It is a topic many Hawaiians struggle with—trying to balance a Western lifestyle with cultural obligations. For non-Hawaiians, the book is a window into the Native Hawaiian psyche and an invitation to consider their own cultural roots.”

The unique perspectives that Native Hawaiian authors offer in their work is invaluable to anyone who wants to understand the culture and the people from a Native Hawaiian point of view and experience. While Hawaiÿi and

its people will continue to be a popular theme for writers and filmmakers telling stories for Hollywood renditions, be on the lookout for McGregor’s novel and other works that amplify perspectives of Native Hawaiians.
