Hawaiian-language version of ‘Moana’ distributed to Hawaii schools - https://www.staradvertiser.com/2018/11/29/breaking-news/hawaiian-language-version-of-moana-distributed-to-schools-in-hawaii/ More than two thirds of Native Hawaiians live on the US mainland and not Hawai'`i. One east coast `'ohana’s journey into the past uncovers a hidden family connection to the Kingdom of Hawai’i. This short documentary film is a personal journey filled with resilience in the face of colonial erasure. Once forgotten heroes are honored with connections strengthened by transgenerational aloha. A testament to the enduring legacy of Hawaiian nationalism that bridges Hawai`i to the US mainland with voices from the past. The journey is one from Kalihi Valley to Silicon Valley. The chief evangelist of Canva and the creator of Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People podcast has graciously agreed to a sit down with Hālāwai President and Inspired Money Podcast Host Andy Wang. We'll revisit Guy's book The Art of The Start 2.0 in the time of COVID. If we're lucky we may even be regaled with stories of what it was like for a local boy to be working for Steve Jobs in 1984. Anything can happen. Join us for a special visit and what is likely to be miso soup for the soul. Guy Kawasaki, Guy was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1954. His family lived in a tough part of Honolulu called Kalihi Valley. They weren’t rich, but he never felt poor because his parents made many sacrifices.
