About the film

Against the backdrop of the 1970s native rights movement, George Helm, a young Hawaiian activist and musician must gain the support of kūpuna (community elders) from the island of Maui to aid in the fight of protecting the precious neighboring island of Kahoʻolawe from military bombing.

Inspirational, beautifully filmed, and featuring exquisite music, Hawaiian Soul is a must-see!

 

The 2009 documentary film "Noho Hewa- The Wrongful Occupation of Hawaiʻi" is now available to watch digitally for Leeward affiliated students, faculty, and staff!

 

The film received the 2008  Hawaiʻi International Film Festival's "Best Documentary Film" award, which was presented to filmmaker Anne Keala Kelly. It is hailed as a bold demonstration of the strained relationship between Native Hawaiian communities and the oppressive entities that occupy Hawaiʻi. The film contains interviews with renowned scholars including the late Haunani-Kay Trask, Noenoe Silva, Kaleikoa Kaʻeo, Jonathan Osorio, Ty Kāwika Tengan, and J. Kēhaulani Kauanui.  For more information on the film please visit:  https://nohohewa.com/

 

The film can be found on the digital media platform Academic Video Online (AVON) which can be found via the Leeward Library's A-Z database list. We also carry the DVD hard copy version of the film which can be borrowed by any UH affiliated student, faculty or staff member.

 

If you are interested in incorporating the digital version of "Noho Hewa" into your courses, you can use the direct link or embed it straight into your Laulima course site. Both the link and the embed code can be found by clicking "share" along the top of your screen when you access the film in AVON. The direct link can be found below:

Hawaiian (native and endemic) plants add color and beauty around our islands and many of these plants are at Leeward Community College! We will feature a plant monthly on our electronic display board and the research can be obtained from the Hawaii-Pacific Collection. Photos are taken by myself. Hope you enjoy!
