Podcasts about Native Hawaiians

Across the country, kids in the juvenile justice system face a hidden burden: fines and fees that can follow them well into adulthood, affecting their credit, education, and ability to get a job. In this episode, host Maya Rupert speaks with Cameron D. Clark, Co-Coordinator of Debt Free Justice, about their work to eliminate fines and fees placed on youth and their families. In partnership with local communities, Debt Free Justice works to transform the system in states like Hawaii, where youth organizers are advocating for Native Hawaiian accountability practices instead of financial punishment. Through it all, Debt Free Justice is showing us what's possible when we replace punitive fines and fees with real opportunities for growth and accountability. This episode is created in partnership with Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies.

In this episode, Co-host Carry Kim speaks with Terri Napeahi, a Native Hawaiian advocate and founder of the Keaukaha Action Network, about the significant health, cultural, and environmental impacts of geothermal energy development in Hawai'i. Terri shares her personal journey and the ongoing struggles of the Native Hawaiian community against industrial practices that threaten their lands and traditions. Join us for a powerful discussion on the intersection of Indigenous rights, environmental justice, and the fight for a sustainable future. Support the Podcast via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LBGXTRM292TFC&source=url There is a global push and narrative around “clean, renewable energy.” Anyone who has advocated on the frontlines knows that renewable energy is far from being 100% clean or without consequence, particularly to Indigenous people or people of color who tend to be on the receiving end of the aftermath and health risks of renewable energy sources such as geothermal may pose. Every energy source bears environmental risk whether to our air, soil, water, the sacred lands of original Indigenous peoples or the totality of beings of nature, especially those nearly invisible to us. Who benefits and who suffers in this assault upon air, water, soil and living beings? The expense is high for all of us. Terri Napeahi, Native Hawaiian grassroots organizer and advocate for her people, highlights concerns around the expansion of geothermal energy in Hawai'i as well as issues of corporate influence and fasttracking projects without proper regard for the health and safety of current and future generations of life.

Artspeak Radio, Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 9am -10am CST, 90.1fm KKFI Kansas City Community Radio, streaming live audio www.kkfi.org Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes Xiao Faria daCunha & Chaneryna Thac with Third Pine Collective and Lindsay Kinney Associate Director with No Divide KC. XIAO FARIA daCUNHA & CHANERYNA THAC- Third Pine Collective, Kansas City's first-of-its-kind AANHPI labor-sharing artist collective, announces its official launch on September 24, 2025. Spearheaded by Kansas City-based artist, curator, and independent art writer Xiao Faria daCunha, KCAI alum and multi-media artist Chaneryna Thach, and local creative enthusiasts Alicia, Tomomi, and Emi Suenaga, Third Pine Collective aims to elevate AANHPI visual artists and small businesses in different career stages by significantly expanding their reach, capacity, and potential through labor-sharing between members. “It is still very challenging for AANHPI artists, especially working-class and self-taught artists, to navigate through the art scene where Asian folks remain under-represented and disconnected. By coming together as a collective, we can amplify our voices and gain more visibility without draining our capacity. At Third Pine, we want to make sure members have this connective space to collaborate, brainstorm, imagine, experiment, and communicate, so we can all grow together,” said Tomomi Suenaga Summers, Chief Strategy Officer of Third Pine Collective. Formerly Third Pine Gallery, the project transformed from a floating gallery concept created by the Suenaga Family in early 2025, which debuted during the “Art of Being AANHPI” festival at Zhou B Art Center in Kansas City on May 31, 2025. Almost four months later, the concept re-emerges as a platform to amplify AANHPI creative voices in Kansas City and beyond via a mutual aid and resource-sharing structure. “I was part of the Third Pine booth back in May, and I immediately felt this concept could have so much potential if it ran as a collective instead of another gallery/curatorial concept. I've always enjoyed my experience being involved in labor-sharing collectives in Chicago. Most artists you encounter are going to be working-class artists, many of whom, without formal training on how to approach galleries, apply for art fairs, etc. And we all have our hands full with jobs, family duties, or just life in general. The labor-sharing structure frees everyone from having to do everything themselves. Instead, you have this massive team where each member only handles a small piece in the larger process. Nobody is burned out, and we all benefit from our collective efforts,” said Xiao Faria daCunha, Executive Director of Third Pine Collective. Third Pine Collective is actively seeking community, business, gallery, and organizational partners to collaborate with on programming and core initiatives. The collective is also seeking funding from private and public sources to ensure quality services to its members and the public it engages with. “We are not a non-profit at this point. Instead, it's just a bunch of like-minded people coming together, helping each other. We aim to make AANHPI voices heard not only in the art world, but in civic engagement, community development, space-building, policymaking, using our art and creativity as the vessel,” said Chaneryna Thach, Director of Member Relations and Program Support at Third Pine Collective. Third Pine Collective is Kansas City's one and only AANHPI labor-sharing artist collective, aiming to amplify Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander voices in the arts and through art. The collective's core programming includes member exhibitions, cultural sessions, AANHPI book clubs, film screenings, and seasonal vendor fairs. www.thirdpinecollective.com LINDSAY KINNEY Associate Director No Divide KC's Alternative Timelines Annual Gala promises an unforgettable evening of celebration and inspiration. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 8, 2025, when Kansas City's artists, leaders, and supporters gather for this incredible event! Guests will enjoy a stylish night of live entertainment and creative expression. All proceeds support No Divide KC's mission to use the arts as a vehicle for social awareness and community building, making this a night of gratitude and thanks. At No Divide KC, we harness the power of the arts to foster social awareness, community participation, and connection. Our events are collaborative endeavors with Kansas City-based artists and organizations, spotlighting the narratives of underserved and misrepresented communities. From poetry readings and concerts to workshops and festivals. Lindsay Kinney is a queer advocate for social justice and basic human needs. She holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and has spent most of her professional career in social work. She is passionate about the arts, especially live music, and most of her favorite people are artists. She is a natural connector, builder of community relationships and understands the power of collaboration. Lindsay loves all things outdoors and enjoys spending time amongst the trees hiking or on the water kayaking. She has lived in the Kansas City area for over 35 years and truly loves this city and how beautifully it continues to evolve. She believes in the good of humanity and knows that we are stronger together.  Lindsay@nodividekc.org

In this episode, Professor Brian Hu from SDSU helps us tackle the world of Asian and Asian American cinema as they travel throughout various locales. Hu's position as a film scholar and Artistic Director of the San Diego Asian Film Festival leads us through conversations about how people connect with and discover Asian culture. We touch on how regionality and heritage influence people's interactions with Asian and Asian American media. We also discuss the shifting definitions of Asian American and how that plays out in AAPI/AANHPI film festival creation. Hu guides us through the process of film curation and circulation at AAPI/AANHPI film festivals. In the end, we ask Hu what to look forward to for the upcoming 2025 SDAFF on November 6-15.  Our discussion with Hu leaves us wondering what the future holds for Asian and Asian American media as global industries become more invested in Asian works like K-pop, anime, and Labubus.  Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Academic Readings:Worldly Desires: Cosmopolitanism and Cinema in Hong Kong and TaiwanIdentities in Motion: Asian American Film and VideoMaking Asian American Film and Video History, Institutions, MovementsDoogie Kameāloha, M.D.: Gen Z to AAPI Direct Marketing and Its Effects on Native Hawaiians (chapter) Pop Cosmopolitanism: Mapping Cultural Flows in an Age of Media Convergence (chapter)Names and Locations:Payal KapadiaAnna May WongNancy KwanLisa LuJames ShigetaPeter X FengJun OkadaJohn WooDante BoscoIngyu OhDaniel Dae KimBruce LeeJackie ChanHayao MiyazakiStudio GhibliSatoshi KonBig Bang (group)Ang LeeSeafood CityFilm Festivals:San Diego Asian Film FestivalLos Angeles Asian Pacific Film FestivalCineconFestival de CannesBusan Film FestivalGolden Horse Film FestivalSan Francisco Silent Film Festival Berlin Film FestivalMovies, Shows, and Media:A Night of Knowing NothingGodzilla Minus OneUlanHard BoiledFlower Drum SongAll We Imagine As LightNe ZhaNe Zha 2The Untamed (TV Series)Pulp Fiction Chan is MissingButterfly (TV Series)The DebutUltraman seriesGundam seriesThe Fabulous Filipino BrothersSuperstore (TV Series)Destroy All MonstersThe MatrixJoy Luck ClubTFCHaikyu!!

Kolaiah “Fuzzy” Jardine is a real estate developer, author, and co-founder of Hui Mastermind, a Hawaii-based community focused on empowering Native Hawaiians to build generational wealth. His journey took him from serving time in federal prison to creating a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio and developing affordable housing for local families. As the author of Priced Out of Paradise, Fuzzy is on a mission to teach others how to invest “the Pono way”—with integrity, community, and purpose.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Fuzzy's transformation from prison to property developer shows the power of mindset and purpose. “The crab in a bucket” mentality, surrounding yourself with the wrong people, keeps you stuck. Taking bold, decisive action (even when broke) can change your trajectory. Investing education is priceless when you're ready to implement it. “The Pono Way” means people before profit—help others first, and wealth follows.     Topics From Prison to Property Developer Fuzzy grew up in Oahu's multigenerational households, surrounded by love but also by poverty and addiction. After a prison sentence for drug-related charges, he discovered real estate through a white-collar inmate who taught classes on investing. Determined to change his life, Fuzzy came out of prison with a new mindset and a mission. Finding Purpose and Building Mindset Initial jobs included window washing, surfing instruction, and valet parking—three jobs just to survive in Hawaii. Realized hard work alone wasn't enough; financial education was key. Discovered Rich Dad Poor Dad and began pursuing real estate investing as a way to create generational wealth. The Turning Point: Fortune Builders While preparing to become a pilot, he heard a radio ad for a real estate training event and pivoted immediately. Borrowed $20K through a native Hawaiian loan and maxed out credit cards to join the program. His conviction came from being “sick and tired of working three jobs” and seeing his parents face foreclosure. Worked for free to gain hands-on experience and eventually became the go-to construction and development partner for other investors. Building Affordable Homes and a Legacy Now leading 60+ projects focused on affordable housing on Hawaii's Big Island. Emphasizes integrity and “The Pono Way”: helping families in distress before thinking of profits. Sees real estate as a means to restore opportunity for locals priced out of their own communities.

Sacred sites sometimes get lost in urban settings as cities prioritize the needs of non-Native residents and commercial interests over the historical and spiritual value for Native Americans, but tribes and Native organizations are having some success connecting with city officials to see that sacred spaces are protected and accessible. After years of restoration work, what were known as the Indian Mounds in St. Paul, Minn., have a whole new look, a new Dakota name — Wicaḣapi — and an educational cultural center. St. Louis, Mo. just solidified a transfer of property that signifies the city's first-ever recognition of tribal sovereignty. We'll talk about the difficult work to recognize and preserve sacred places in population centers. GUESTS Maggie Lorenz (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and Spirit Lake Dakota Nation), executive director of Waḳaŋ Típi Awaŋyaŋkapi Ke'eaumoku Kapu (Native Hawaiian), executive director of Nā ‘Aikāne o Maui and cultural specialist for Lahaina Town

Honolulu Councilmember Esther Kiaʻāina talks Native Hawaiian political history and current federal funding threats; The "Mai Poina: The Overthrow Walking Tours" return after a pandemic hiatus

Spotlight Now welcomes two guests to explore Hawaii's relationship with the military when it comes to water and land leases. The Board of Water Supply is suing the U.S. Navy for $1.2 billion to help clean up the 2021 Red Hill fuel spill. BWS manager and chief engineer Ernie Lau says he has been asking the Navy to share their monitoring data, but they have not cooperated. Meanwhile, negotiations continue with the state and military over land leases. Those leases are set to expire in 2029, but the Trump administration has said they want a new deal much sooner. Gov. Josh Green has said it’s in the state’s best interest to engage. Native Hawaiian scholar Jon Kamakawiwoʻole Osorio, dean of the Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, calls his response disappointing. In our new Community Spotlight segment, Kayla Keehu-Alexander, vice president of community impact at Aloha United Way, reflects on federal impacts to local nonprofits.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Cliff Kapono is a professional surfer, journalist, ocean steward, cultural advocate, and marine conservation scientist with a PhD in Chemistry. He is a co-founder of the MEGA Lab, which has pioneered large-scale, community-driven 3D mapping of coral reefs, pushing the boundaries of how we understand and preserve our oceans. He is an ambassador and board member of the Surfrider foundation and is a featured surfer in Thomas Campbell's film Yi-Wo, VICE's The Smartest Surfer in the World, and NobodySurf's Circadian Rhythms. Joining The Lineup from his home in Hilo, Hawai‘i, Cliff reflects on balancing his life between science and surfing, and the power of learning when to say no. He dives into his new VICE documentary, Let It Kill You: The Smartest Surfer in the World, and how the project highlights the many ways surfers can elevate their community and contribute to society beyond competition. Cliff shares his journey from growing up in rural Hawai‘i and chasing the dream of free boards and boardshorts, to becoming one of the few Native Hawaiians with a PhD. He discusses the struggle of reconciling what it means to be a “pro surfer,” the support of brands like Vissla and Reef, and his mission to advocate for scientific literacy in the surf community. The conversation ranges from board talk and the subtleties of rail spray, to the MEGA Lab's cutting-edge ocean technology projects, to the pioneers and storytellers who shaped his perspective. Cliff also answers fan questions, looks ahead to what's next for him and his work, and shares why staying connected to the ocean remains at the heart of everything he does.

How do you design a world that honors Hawaiian history while telling a story on a global stage? For Production Designer Jean-François Campeau, the answer was equal parts creativity, cultural respect, and collaboration. This week on Below the Line, Skid is joined by Jean-François “JF” Campeau, Production Designer of Chief of War, the Apple TV+ historical drama starring Jason Momoa. Two special guests from the Smithsonian Institution add their perspectives: Kalewa Correa, Curator of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, and Halena Kapuni-Reynolds, Associate Curator of Native Hawaiian History and Culture at the National Museum of the American Indian. We cover: JF's first reaction to the project — both inspired and intimidated by the cultural weight of the story Research at the Bishop Museum and working closely with Hawaiian and Māori cultural advisors to ground the sets in authenticity Constructing major builds like temples, strongholds, and the bone tower — with blessings and protocols woven into the process Carving sacred objects from authentic materials, including shipping an ʻōhiʻa tree from Hawai‘i to New Zealand for sculpting Collaborating with Pacific artisans on woven mats, sails, and canoes that carried both cultural and cinematic weight Blending Hawaiian and New Zealand landscapes, balancing cultural similarities with visual continuity challenges Jason Momoa's insistence on filming battle sequences on real Hawaiian lava fields — including a shoot delayed by Mauna Loa's eruption Capturing the gravity of historically significant moments, like the Olowalu massacre carried out under Captain Simon Metcalfe, with sensitivity to sacred ground JF's personal reflections on how the project changed him, and the values he carried forward from working alongside Native Hawaiian and Māori communities The conversation also touches on recommended resources for further learning, including Ke Kumu Aupuni: The Foundation of Hawaiian Nationhood by Samuel Kamaka and Fragments of Hawaiian History by John Papa Iʻi, suggested by our Smithsonian co-hosts. What emerges is a portrait of a production designer whose work went beyond craft to embrace cultural exchange — designing a world that feels both epic and deeply rooted in respect.

In this inspiring episode of The Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, host Michel Ai Reavis invites listeners to reflect on the profound lessons seeds have to teach about life, survival, and prosperity. Just like seeds hold hidden potential within their tiny shells, money too can be seen as seed-energy—waiting to be planted, nurtured, and multiplied with intention. Through stories, metaphors, and soulful wisdom, Michel gently guides listeners to see money not as something to fear or hoard, but as a sacred tool for growth and possibility.Michel also shares a playful story about experimenting with YouTube's algorithm—treating it like a concierge rather than a manipulative force. This practice of discernment led her to discover a powerful documentary about seeds, sparking reflections on the deeper connections between nature, wealth, and human survival. From the wisdom of Native Hawaiian farming traditions to the shadow side of genetically modified seed monopolies, she highlights how control of resources mirrors the ways money can either oppress or liberate, depending on how we choose to use it.Listeners will walk away with a fresh perspective on money as seed-energy—something to be sown, cultivated, and shared for the collective good. With journaling prompts and reflections woven into the episode, Michel encourages her audience to plant their own money-seeds with intention: supporting local growers, investing in regenerative projects, and nurturing their own soul-aligned businesses. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that every choice, every dollar, and every seed carries the potential to create legacies of abundance, responsibility, and hope.YouTube Seed Documentary:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgBpCitIrQcContact:michel@moneylighthouse.com

The Secretary of the Army is expected to return to Hawaii to talk to the governor about the military's leased lands. As the issue takes new urgency, several Native Hawaiian organizations call fast-tracking leases a misstep. Multiple tow trucks are needed to pull up a pickup that plunged over a cliff on Hawaii Island. As episode 32 of the Kilauea eruption comes to life, another mesmerizing natural phenomenon takes shape near the lava fountain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Santa Ana Pueblo is celebrating the return of a clay bowl that was stolen in 1984, but it's only one out of nearly 150 irreplaceable items taken during a series of burglaries and never recovered. Investigators believe the items were eventually sold to collectors around the world and authorities never tracked them down. We'll check in on the tribe's renewed efforts to find and bring the items back home. We'll also get updates on other repatriation efforts, including tribes and lawmakers putting renewed pressure on the University of California over its failure to return remains and artifacts required by law, and we'll recount the largest Native Hawaiian repatriation in history with Edward Halealoha Ayau.

Experimental archeology is, simply put, archeology that involves running experiments. Where traditional archaeologists may study, research, analyze, and theorize about how artifacts were made or used, experimental archaeologists actually try to recreate, test, and use them to see what they can learn. In doing so, they have given the field a whole new way to glean clues and get insights into the lives of our ancestors. Sam Kean is the author of a new book all about experimental archaeology called Dinner with King Tut. With help from him and a few archaeologists, we dig into a number of puzzles that experimental archaeology has helped solve—conundrums involving ancient megafauna, bizarre cookware, and deep sea voyages. In this episode, you'll hear from archaeologists Susan Kaplan of Bowdoin College and Karen Harry of University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Native Hawaiian activist and storyteller Nāʻālehu Anthony. To learn more about the story of Hokule'a and its first navigator, Mau Piailug, watch Nāʻālehu Anthony's 2010 documentary, Papa Mau: The Wayfinder, as well as The Navigators: Pathfinders of the Pacific. This episode was produced by Katie Shepherd and Max Freedman. Decoder Ring is also produced by Willa Paskin and Evan Chung, our supervising producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director. We had mixing help from Kevin Bendis. We'd also like to thank Metin Eren and Paul Benham.

Crime victim confusion. A service meant to help families, instead brought fears a killer had been set free. The message that raised questions. Your help is needed to find an endangered bird killer on Kauai. When and where this Nene was shot. Celebrating Hawaiian sovereignty. This week marks the 183rd anniversary of La Ho'iho'i Ea. We'll take you to the events over the weekend that were a source of pride for Native Hawaiians.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a period of colonial suppression, traditional kapa making is enjoying a sustained resurgence. In recent decades, a growing number of Native Hawaiian artists have mastered the labor-intensive process of harvesting, scraping, and soaking the bark of the wauke plant and embellishing the resulting fabric with colorful traditional designs. A new generation of artists is benefiting from this reclaimed expertise. This is an encore show so we won't be taking listener phone calls

Live on HI Now Daily, we take a look at a special summit dedicated to the health and well-being of Native Hawaiian families.

A Utah mother and her boyfriend are charged with attempted aggravated murder and child torture after the woman’s 3-year-old daughter was found unconscious and bruised from head to toe. A Native Hawaiian man convicted of a hate crime for beating a white man with a shovel must be re-sentenced, the ruling of a federal appeals court, opening the door to the possibility that he will face more prison time.

Long-time friend and Christian colleague Diane Ujiiye, the co-director of nonprofit www.api-rise.org, introduced me to her Program Director Kanaka Mālia Luna Jennings, a proud Native Hawaiian and Filipina who, while a juvenile, had been incarcerated for 23 years. Her father died while she was inside, which served as a desperately needed wake up call to grow up, turn to God, and begin turning her life around. After she was released from prison, however, ICE swooped her up, and those seven months of detention were more dehumanizing and difficult than anything she'd experienced in prison. Hers is a remarkable and inspiring story of how true change that begins within can ripple outward to heal communities and generations.

It's Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and we're using this week's episode to highlight scientists and researchers from those regions to emphasize their contributions to science across all different fields of study. Then, Sam speaks with Dr. Steven Mana'oakamai Johnson. He explains how people are responding to climate change across the Pacific Islands and the importance of local knowledge when it comes to understanding and preparing for new types of weather systems in that region. And finally, Sam investigates a recent study where researchers created an artificial leaf that could have a real impact when it comes to renewable energy.
